Implement the Execution Object Model (XOM) that enables rule execution.Orchestrate rule execution through ruleflows. Author rule artifacts to implement business policies.Debug business rule applications to ensure that the implemented business logic is error-free.Set up and customize testing and simulation for business users.Package and deploy decision services to test and production environments.Integrate decision services for managed execution within an enterprise environment.Monitor and audit execution of decision services.Work with Operational Decision Manager features that support decision governance.

This course introduces developers to IBM Operational Decision Manager V8.9.2. It teaches participants the concepts and skills required to design, develop, and integrate a business rule solution with Operational Decision Manager.
This course begins with an overview of Operational Decision Manager, which is composed of two main environments: Decision Server for technical users and Decision Center for business users. The course outlines the collaboration between development and business teams during project development.
Through instructor-led presentations and hands-on lab exercises, participants learn about the core features of Decision Server, which is the primary working environment for developers. Participants design decision services and work with the object models that are required to author and execute rule artifacts. Participants gain experience with deployment and execution, and work extensively with Rule Execution Server. In addition, students become familiar with rule authoring so that you can support business users to set up and customize the rule authoring and validation environments. Participants also learn how to use Operational Decision Manager features to support decision governance.
