Deploying decision services by using Ant tasks

You can use a Decision Center Ant task to deploy your decision services.

With Ant tasks, you can automate the deployment of decision services to Rule Execution Server. The following example shows the Ant tasks for deployment:

ant deploy -DprojectName=AutoQuote -Dbranch="Spring Release" -DdeploymentName="Deployment to QA env;"
[-DdeploymentBaselineName=deploymentBaselineName]
[-Dservers="server1,server2"]
[-Dredeploy=true|false]"
[-DoutputDirectory=c:\outputDirectory]
[-DrulesetsVersions="nameOfRuleset1:1.1,nameOfRuleset2:2.0"]
[-Dserver.url="http://localhost:9080/teamserver"]
[-DdatasourceName="jdbc/ilogDataSource"]

The following table describes the parameters.
