Introducing the Business console

You use the Business console to author, manage, and deploy rules in a collaborative environment.

In the Business console, you access decision services that contain all the elements necessary to author and manage business rules. These elements are contained in a rule repository, which is a database that is connected to Decision Center.

Changes to business rules are not reflected back automatically to the applications that call them. They must first be deployed. In the Business console, administrators can deploy rules to a production environment through a decision service. Other users can deploy rules to nonproduction servers to validate their changes.
