Making the XOM accessible by repackaging the SSP

To run tests or simulations in the Decision Center Enterprise console, or test remotely from Rule Designer, you can repackage the SSP archives to include the XOM of each rule project.

About this task

The XOM of each rule project on which you want to perform testing must be accessible to the SSP. If you want to add one XOM, you can use the Repackage XOM for Remote DVS Testing wizard, which allows you to select an existing DVS Project or create a new one and repackage directly. If you need to add many XOMs, it may be more convenient to use the DVS Project (see Repackaging the SSP and Decision Center archives).

Note: You can also deploy the XOM directly using the Managed Java™ XOM feature (see Making the XOM accessible by deploying the XOM).

Procedure

To make one XOM accessible to the SSP by repackaging:

In the Rule Explorer, right-click a rule project and select Decision Validation Services > Repackage XOM for Remote DVS Testing.
Note: Make sure your workspace contains the rule project and its associated XOM.
In the Repackage XOM for Remote DVS Testing wizard, the rule project is selected. Click Next.
Select the DVS Project, Customization, and Configuration, or create them if they do not exist.
Click Finish to repackage the SSP .ear or .war file.
The repackaging might take a few seconds to complete.

Results

Rule Designer repackages the jrules-ssp-<APP>.ear or testing.war file and saves it in the applicationservers directory of the DVS Project.

Rule Designer also generates a build.xml file that contains the Ant targets to manually repackage the SSP .ear or .war file with the XOM, if you want to customize the build script.

You can now deploy the file using the instructions specific to your application server.
