Importing a rule application archive file

Import a rule application archive file from IBM® Operational Decision Manager and use it to process messages in IBM Integration Bus.

Before you begin

About this task

If you have created rules in IBM Operational Decision Manager, you can import them and use them in IBM Integration Bus. The resources that you import from IBM Operational Decision Manager must meet the following criteria: To import a rule application archive, complete the following steps.

Procedure

  1. In the IBM Integration Toolkit, click File > Import.
  2. On the Select panel of the Import wizard, expand Decision Services and select Rule Application archive file.

    Click Next.

  3. Select or create a container for your imported rule application archive. You can import the file into an application, library, or integration project. The Decision Service field is completed automatically when you select a file to import. The name of the decision service is based on the name of the imported file.
  4. Select the file to import by browsing to a location on or outside your workspace.
  5. Optional: If you are importing an updated file to replace a file that is already in the chosen container, select Overwrite existing Decision Service in specified container.
  6. Click Next.
  7. View the summary of the rule sets in the selected rule application archive that can be imported. The latest version of the rule set is imported; the rule set path does not include the version of the application or rule set. If any rule sets cannot be imported, they are listed. Click a rule set to see why it cannot be imported. For example, a rule set cannot be imported if it is not based on an XML schema, or if it uses parameters that do not have schema types.
  8. Click Finish.

Results

The imported rule application archive is converted to a decision service (.rules file). The decision service opens in the Decision Service editor.

For rules that are written outside IBM Integration Bus, you cannot edit information in the Decision Service editor. On the Parameters tab, you can select a rule set to see its parameters, but you cannot edit those parameters. The verbalization value is not available for rule sets that are imported from IBM Operational Decision Manager, nor can you see the rules.

What to do next

To use the imported rules to process messages in IBM Integration Bus, follow the instructions in Processing messages with a decision service.
