Course Details

The Developing Rule Solutions in IBM Operational Decision Manager v8.9.2 course is a 5-day course that is designed to provide students an overview of Operational Decision Manager, which is composed of two main environments: Decision Server for technical users and Decision Center for business users. This course outlines the collaboration between development and business teams during project development.

?Via instructor-led presentations and hands-on lab exercises, students will learn about the core features of Decision Server, which is the primary working environment for developers. Students will design decision services and work with the object models that are required to author and execute rule artifacts. Students will also gain experience with deployment and execution, and work extensively with Rule Execution Server. Additionally, students will become familiar with rule authoring so that they can support business users to set up and customize the rule authoring and validation environments. To conclude, students will learn how to use Operational Decision Manager features to support decision governance.

Topics covered in the course include:

  • Describing the benefits of implementing a decision management solution with Operational Decision Manager
  • Identifying the key user roles that are involved in designing and developing a decision management solution, and the tasks that are associated with each role
  • Describing the development process of building a business rule application and the collaboration between business and development teams
  • Setting up and customizing the Business Object Model (BOM) and vocabulary for rule authoring
  • Implementing the Execution Object Model (XOM) that enables rule execution
  • Orchestrating rule execution through ruleflows
  • Authoring rule artifacts to implement business policies
  • Debugging business rule applications to ensure that the implemented business logic is error-free
  • Setting up and customizing testing and simulation for business users
  • Packaging and deploying decision services to test and production environments
  • Integrating decision services for managed execution within an enterprise environment
  • Monitoring and auditing execution of decision services
  • Working with Operational Decision Manager features that support decision governance
