Configuring on WebSphere Application Server 8.5 and 8.5.5

You can use a cluster on WebSphere® Application Server to achieve high availability and scalability. Profile templates are provided for cluster configuration with the manageprofiles command. You can also configure the Operational Decision Manager components manually.

Operational Decision Manager supports JDK7, but make sure to use IBM® WebSphere SDK Java™ Technology Edition version 7.0.5 or later. In addition, you must follow a specific procedure to deploy the Execution Unit (XU). This ensures that Rule Execution Server can locate the resource bundles. For more information, see Step 7: Deploying the XU RAR.
