IBM Operational Decision Manager Compatibility with Cloud Offerings

News


Abstract

IBM Operational Decision Manager on Cloud and IBM Cloud Pak for Business Automation as a Service are compatible with on-premises versions of IBM Operational Decision Manager.

Content

You can work with decision services outside a cloud Operational Decision Manager (ODM), and still take advantage of the cloud environment.

Decision service artifacts (hybrid cloud)
You can deploy or import a decision service between a cloud ODM and an on-premises ODM. This hybrid approach to developing decision services works with the following cloud releases and on-premises ODMs:

ODM on CloudCloud Pak for Business Automation as a ServiceOn-premises ODM version
2025.072025.079.5
2024.072024.07, 2024.109.0
N.A.2024.01, 2024.048.12
2023.042023 releases8.11

Note: There is no earlier cloud ODM currently in use.

Limitations
The following limitations apply to using the cloud and on-premises ODMs together:

  • You cannot publish a decision service from an on-premises Rule Designer to Decision Center in a cloud ODM.  However, you can import a decision service directly into Decision Center.
  • The cloud environment only supports the decision engine. If you have an on-premises project that is based on the classic rule engine, you must switch the project to the decision engine before you publish the project to the cloud environment.
