Step 4: Packaging Decision Validation Services by using Ant

You can configure Decision Validation Services archives by using an Ant task.

About this task

This section is for users who install the product on Windows and other supported distributed platforms only.

You can configure Decision Validation Services archives by running the ssp-setup Ant task.

Define the Ant task in your build file by using the <taskdef> Ant element in one of the following ways:
- Define the task at the top level, or within a specific target.
```
<taskdef resource="res-tasks.properties" 
classpath="${<InstallDir>}/executionserver/lib/jrules-res-setup.jar"/>
```
- If the JAR file is available in your system, you can write the following code:
```
<taskdef resource="res-tasks.properties"/> 
```
Use the ssp-setup Ant task to update a Scenario Service Provider (SSP) artifact to your specific configuration and XOM.
Run the Ant task in one of the following ways:
- From the command line: Execute Ant in the appropriate directory, followed by the name of the build file if necessary.
- From Eclipse: Right-click the Ant file and click Run.

You can now deploy the testing archive.
