Step 5: Deploying the testing and simulation archive

You can deploy the testing and simulation archive.

About this task

Before deploying the testing and simulation archive, make sure that the database is already created (see Mandatory: Create the databases).

Testing and simulation provides two modules:
  • DecisionRunner - Used to run tests and simulations in the Business console.
  • SSP - Used to run tests and simulations in the Enterprise console as Decision Validation Services.
Deprecated feature:

Deprecation icon Decision Validation Services is deprecated in V8.8.0. This feature will be removed in a future release of the product. See Deprecated features for migration details.

Note: You must deploy the archive to the same server as the execution unit (XU). Also, the archive must be installed on the same server and port as the Rule Execution Server console. If the Rule Execution Server console is not deployed on the same server and port:
  • For DecisionRunner - Set the RES_URL init parameter on the Decision Runner web application to the Rule Execution Server console that uses the Decision Runner.
  • For SSP - Implement the IlrSSPResolver interface. In the resolver, use the server name to return a specific server URL.
Use an Ant task to repackage the SSP archive (see Repackaging the SSP file using the ssp-setup Ant task), for example to include the XOM.

Procedure

  1. To deploy the testing and simulation archive, follow the procedure that applies to the version of Operational Decision Manager that you use, as explained in the following table:
    Operational Decision Manager version Procedure
    8.10.0 Copy <ODM_InstallDir>/executionserver/applicationservers/JBoss6EAP/jrules-ssp-JBOSS6EAP.ear to <JBOSS_HOME>/server/standalone/deployments.
    8.10.1 and 8.10.2 Copy <ODM_InstallDir>/executionserver/applicationservers/JBoss/jrules-ssp-JBOSS.ear to <JBOSS_HOME>/server/standalone/deployments.
  2. To verify that you have correctly deployed the testing & simulation application, start the server and sign in as a user with resAdministrators or resDeployers rights:
    1. Decision Runner - http://<host>:<port>/DecisionRunner.
    2. SSP - http://<host>:<port>/testing.
