Procedure
Install Operational Decision Manager with Installation Manager:

installation needs and license entitlements. Then, click Next.

you select Decision Server Rules, make sure that
you also select the Rules profile templates for WebSphere Application
Server.
You can install one or all of the packages on the same workstation.
- Review the license agreements for the selected packages.
If you agree, select I accept the terms of the license
agreements, and then click Next.

The default package group is Operational Decision Manager
V8.8.
Important: On Windows 7, you can change the default installation
directory to a location outside of Program Files and Program Files
(x86) to avoid user privilege conflicts.
The Program Files and Program Files (x86) directories
are protected. You must install Operational Decision Manager with
the same user privileges that you use to install Installation Manager to run your programs correctly. For example, if
you want to install under Program Files, you might have to install as an
administrator. To avoid issues, install the product in a directory outside the Program
Files or Program Files (x86).
- Select Use the existing package group to install the compatible
components into an existing package group. The installed components will share the same installation
directory.
