Before you start

Prepare for the tutorial by reviewing its objectives and prerequisites.

The tutorial is based on a fictitious decision service of an online lender. The decision service determines whether a customer is eligible for a loan.

This tutorial presents a simplified version of a decision service, containing only one project. The rules are contained in two folders of this project:
Folder Description
eligibility The rules in this folder determine whether the loan can be approved.
validation The rules in this folder make the preliminary checks to determine whether data is rejected immediately.

As you proceed through the tutorial, you log in as two different users, Paul and Bea, to simulate the collaborative work that takes place in the Business console. Paul is a manager who initiates, reviews, and deploys changes. Bea is a rule author who implements the changes.

Learning objectives

You learn how to collaborate with other users to create and modify rules, manage changes, run tests and simulations, and deploy a decision service.

Time required

This tutorial takes about 30 minutes.

Audience

This tutorial is for Business console users who want an introduction to rule authoring and management. If you work within the governance framework, another tutorial is available that covers change management within releases and activities (see Tutorial: Exploring decision services in a governance workflow).

Prerequisites

This tutorial is meant to be done in the sample server. Contact your administrator if you do not have Miniloan Service available when you log in. Before you start, make sure that you:

The decision service and tutorial files are in English.
