If you already installed the required software, you can
use Installation Manager to
select the specific Operational Decision Manager packages
that you want to install.
Using Installation Manager,
you can install only a subset of Operational Decision Manager. You
can also customize your installation for specific configurations.
For example, you can:
- Extend an existing Eclipse environment
- Install Operational Decision Manager in
another compatible IBM® product
- Install the archives for configuring an application server other
than WebSphere® Application Server
- Install the local help system
Before you proceed with the installation, make sure that you have
a license for the products you want to install.
IBM
Operational Decision Manager is
split into components that correspond to installable units:
- IBM Decision
Center
- An environment for business users to author, manage, and test
business rules and event rules.
- IBM Decision Server
- Development and runtime environments for business rules and business
events.
- Profile templates for WebSphere Application Server
- Events and rules template profiles and runtime for deploying Decision
Center and Decision Server on WebSphere Application Server. You
need an IBM Decision Server license
to use this component.
- Business Rules Embedded
- Development environment for adding business rules functionality
to applications. You need an IBM Decision Server license
to use this component and Eclipse 3.6 as your development environment.
To install the Operational Decision Manager components, Installation Manager must
access the corresponding repositories. When you use the product launchpad,
the path to these repositories is set automatically in the Installation Manager preferences.
If you are not using the launchpad, you must specify the repository
URLs in Installation Manager.
After you complete the installation of the products with Installation Manager, you
have to configure Decision
Center and Decision Server to
use Operational Decision Manager in
production.
