Overview

This course introduces developers to IBM Operational Decision Manager V8.10.5. It teaches you how to design, develop, and integrate a business rule solution with Operational Decision Manager. 

 

The course begins with an overview of Operational Decision Manager, which is composed of two main environments: Decision Server for technical users and Decision Center for business users. The course outlines the collaboration between development and business teams during project development.

Through instructor-led presentations and hands-on lab exercises, you learn about the core features of Decision Server Rules, which is the primary working environment for developers. You learn how to support your business users by setting up the rule authoring environment and object models that are required to execute rule artifacts. You also work with rule authoring so that you can support business users to set up and customize the rule authoring and validation environments. You learn how to manage ruleset deployment and execution, and work extensively with Rule Execution Server. And, you learn how Operational Decision Manager features support decision governance so that it can be implemented in your organization.

 

The lab environment for this course uses Windows Server 2016 Standard.
