| Description |
|
The ability to effectively automate decision making within and across operational business systems is imperative for maximizing organizational efficiency, increasing employee productivity, and improving the quality of actions that are made repeatedly in the course of the business day. In many cases, making the best decision at a given moment requires an understanding of a number of different factors, including:
- Business policies
- Internal and external requirements
- Organizational best practices
- Interactions taking place over time and across the enterprise
IBM WebSphere Operational Decision Management V7.5 addresses decision automation challenges by enabling organizations to build highly flexible, adaptable solutions that can detect and react to data patterns as they occur within a specified time period, and then provide the appropriate decision response to transactional and process-oriented business systems.
The offering is built on IBM's market-leading business rules management technology (WebSphere ILOG® Business Rule Management System), enhanced with IBM's capabilities for detecting time-based events in order to drive more responsive actions to business opportunities or risk conditions (WebSphere Business Events).
WebSphere Operational Decision Management V7.5 consists of two orderable products, which together form a comprehensive platform for the management and execution of business rules and business events:
- IBM WebSphere Decision Center V7.5 - Provides an integrated repository and management components for line-of-business subject matter experts to directly participate in the definition and governance of business rule and business event-based decision logic. Through the capabilities of WebSphere Decision Center, business and IT functions can work collaboratively, aligning the entire organization in the implementation of automated decisions and accelerating the maintenance life cycle as they evolve based on new external and internal requirements.
- IBM WebSphere Decision Server V7.5 - Provides the runtime and development components to automate decision logic, enabling the detection of actionable business situations and the response of precise decisions based on the specific context of an interaction. With WebSphere Decision Server, organizations can monitor a business network to discover and take action on event-based data patterns, and then process this information against hundreds or even thousands of business rules in order to determine how to respond within both front-end and back-end systems.
WebSphere Operational Decision Management enables the creation of applications to intelligently automate a wide range of decisions. Some examples of these kinds of decision management applications include:
- Product and promotional offers
- Eligibility and pricing determinations
- Case and customer prioritizations
- Risk assessments and fraud determinations
WebSphere Operational Decision Management provides the ability to adapt quickly to changing conditions, align across business and IT, and act with precision and reliability.

| Product positioning |
|
Decision management is an approach combining software and expertise to increase the value of the frequent customer, partner, and internal interactions that take place within and across business systems. It involves both being able to make the best possible decision at the current moment based on data and situational context, as well as being able to use data to discover insights that can be used to continually improve decisions over time. These decisions may be fully automated (for example, through an online application or a self-service point-of-sale system) or they may be used to provide decision support to people (for example, through a system used at a call center, branch, or store location, or in the back-office).
There are two primary technology areas that fit within the decision management concept:
- Operational Decision Management - Focuses on the automation and governance of frequently occurring, repeatable decisions that control the actions of critical business systems. IBM's principal offerings in this area are WebSphere Operational Decision Management and WebSphere Operational Decision Management for z/OS®.
- Analytic Decision Management - Focuses on the transformation of data into predictive insight and prescriptive recommendations that can be utilized to improve repeatable decisions. IBM's principal offerings in this area are SPSS® Decision Management and ILOG Optimization Decision Manager (ODM) Enterprise.
While these two technology areas are highly complementary, they can be used separately or together as part of a decision management solution. Each area brings a different focus to improve process and transactional decisions.
WebSphere Operational Decision Management provides the power to intelligently automate a wide range of decisions across business processes and applications, uniting IBM's market-leading capabilities for business rules management and business event processing in order to drive more responsive actions to business opportunities or risk conditions. By enhancing IBM's market-leading business rules repository to also govern event-based decisions, this offering gives organizations comprehensive capabilities to define and maintain the logic that will drive the actions of critical business systems.
WebSphere Operational Decision Management V7.5 advances and brings together IBM's WebSphere ILOG Business Rule Management System (BRMS) and WebSphere Business Events. This process began with 2010 release of WebSphere Decision Server V7.1, which bundled the Java-based development tooling and runtime components for business rules and business events. With WebSphere Operational Decision Management, IBM is now providing a combined business rules and events management platform (WebSphere Decision Center) that integrates with the Decision Server runtimes.

Charge metric
Program name PID number Charge metric IBM WebSphere Operational 5725-B69 Processor Value Unit Decision Management V7.5
Processor Value Unit (PVU)
PVU is a unit of measure by which the program can be licensed. The number of PVU entitlements required is based on the processor technology (defined within the PVU table by processor value, brand, type, and model number at the website below) and the number of processors made available to the program. IBM continues to define a processor, for the purpose of PVU-based licensing, to be each processor core on a chip. A dual-core processor chip, for example, has two processor cores. The PVU table can be found at
Licensee can deploy the program using either full capacity licensing or virtualization capacity (sub-capacity) licensing according to the Passport Advantage Sub-Capacity Licensing Terms (refer to the web page below). If using Full Capacity licensing, Licensee must obtain PVU entitlements sufficient to cover all activated processor cores1 in the physical hardware environment made available to or managed by the program, except for those servers from which the program has been permanently removed. If using Virtualization Capacity licensing, Licensee must obtain entitlements sufficient to cover all activated processor cores made available to or managed by the program, as defined according to the Virtualization Capacity License Counting Rules at
1 An activated processor core is a processor core that is available for use in a physical or virtual server, regardless of whether the capacity of the processor core can be or is limited through virtualization technologies, operating system commands, BIOS settings, or similar restrictions.
Notes:
- Some programs may require licenses for the program and what is being managed. In that case, the following applies. In addition to the entitlements required for the program directly, licensee must obtain PVU entitlements for this program sufficient to cover the processor cores managed by the program.
- Some programs may be licensed on a managed basis only. In that case, the following applies. Instead of the entitlements required for the program directly, licensee must obtain PVU entitlements for this program sufficient to cover the processor cores managed by the program.
- A few programs on an exception basis may be licensed on a referenced basis. In that case, the following applies. Rather than obtaining entitlements for the activated processor cores available to the program, licensee must obtain PVU entitlements for this program sufficient to cover the environment made available to the referenced program as if the program itself were executing everywhere the referenced program was executing, independent of the basis on which the referenced program is licensed.
Resource Value Unit (RVU)
RVU is a unit of measure by which the IBM WebSphere Decision Server program can be licensed. RVU Proofs of Entitlement are based on the number of units of a specific resource used or managed by the program. Licensee must obtain sufficient entitlements for the number of RVUs required for licensee's environment for Client Device resources as specified in the program specific RVU table. RVU entitlements are specific to the program and the type of resource and may not be exchanged, interchanged, or aggregated with RVU entitlements of another program or resource.
Resource Value Unit Conversion table
From 1 to 20 Resources, 1.00 RVUs per Resource From 21 to 50 Resources, 20 RVUs plus 0.83 RVUs per Resource above 20 From 51 to 100 Resources, 45 RVUs plus 0.80 RVUs per Resource above 50 From 101 to 250 Resources, 85 RVUs plus 0.76 RVUs per Resource above 100 From 251 to 500 Resources, 199 RVUs plus 0.60 RVUs per Resource above 250 From 501 to 1,000 Resources, 349 RVUs plus 0.50 RVUs per Resource above 500 From 1,001 to 5,000 Resources, 599 RVUs plus 0.47 RVUs per Resource above 1,000 From 5,001 to 10,000 Resources, 2,479 RVUs plus 0.40 RVUs per Resource above 5,000 From 10,001 to 25,000 Resources, 4,479 RVUs plus 0.36 RVUs per Resource above 10,000 For more than 25,000 Resources, 9,879 RVUs plus 0.33 RVUs per Resource above 25,00
A Client Device is a single user computing device or special purpose sensor or telemetry device that requests the execution of or receives for execution a set of commands, procedures, or applications from or provides data to another computer system that is typically referred to as a server or is otherwise managed by the server. Multiple Client Devices may share access to a common server. A Client Device may have some processing capability or be programmable to allow a user to do work. Examples include, but are not limited to actuators, appliances, automated teller machines, automatic meter readers, cash registers, disk drives, desktop computers, kiosks, notebook computers, personal digital assistant, point-of-sale terminals, sensors, smart meters, tape drives, and technical workstations.

Sub-capacity pricing terms and conditions
To be eligible for sub-capacity pricing, the machine on which the eligible products are installed and running must be eligible for sub-capacity pricing terms and conditions. Software pricing, at less than full machine capacity for eligible products, apply when running:
- AIX 5L™ V5.1, or later, on an IBM System p® 690 or equivalent partition-capable operating system and machine
- OS/400® V5R1, or later, running on an IBM System i®
- Linux running in an LPAR under AIX 5L V5.1, OS/400 V5R1, or in a partition on an equivalent partition-capable operating system and server
Sub-capacity pricing for eligible products is based on the current program pricing methodology, but the number of processors will be determined based on the sum of processors for all partitions where the program is defined (used). To obtain pricing at less than full machine capacity for eligible products, you are required to:
- Install and use, when available, IBM's license use management program, which installs with eligible IBM programs.
- Install available updates to the operating system and eligible products such that license use can be accurately managed.
- Determine if the use of sub-capacity pricing terms results in a reduced requirement for entitlements; you can reallocate the entitlement difference by distributing entitlements across a larger or different set of systems, or reserve them for future growth. There will be no refunds for these freed up entitlements. Subscription, Software Maintenance and support volumes, and entitlements for existing contracts will continue at the same levels as the acquired licenses.
