Building and deploying from Decision Designer

 New in 20.0.3  Automation Decision Services provides the embedded build service, which allows you to trigger building and deploying a decision service in a selected version of your project from Decision Designer.

Before you begin

The embedded build service and the embedded runtime service must be installed. For more information, see Preparing to install Automation Decision Services.

About this task

When decision services are deployed successfully, they can be later used as automation services, or can be used by the decision runtime for executing decisions:

  • Decision services are ready to be published as automation services.

    Automation services become discoverable across Business Automation Studio and can be used in other applications. For more information about automation services, see Automations.

  • Decision service archives are generated for decision services, and deployed to the embedded runtime service. Client applications can call decision services by using the runtime REST API.
    Restriction: The embedded build service cannot be customized. You might need to use a CI/CD stack for your organization if you want to customize the building and deploying part.

Procedure

  1. Open the Deploy tab from your project page.
  2. Expand the version of the project that you selected, and then click Deploy next to the decision service that you want to build and deploy.
  3. Click Deploy in the confirmation window.

    It might take a while to finish deploying a decision service.

    Tip: Check errors in the log if building or deploying a decision service fails. Click the View logs icon View logs icon next to the deployment status. Contact your administrator or IT specialist to resolve issues if necessary.

Results

A path that contains the value for the decisionId parameter is displayed next to the deployment status. This value is used for executing the decision service later. For more information about how to extract the value for the decisionId parameter from the path, see Calling decision services in the embedded runtime service.
