Chapter 6. Decision Server

The Decision Server is a standalone, built-in component that can be used to instantiate and execute rules through interfaces available for REST, JMS, or a Java client side application, and Red Hat Business Optimizer functionality through solvers. Created as a web deployable WAR file, this server can be deployed on any web container. The current version of the Decision Server is included with default extensions for both Red Hat Decision Manager and Red Hat Business Automation.

This server has a low footprint with minimal memory consumption and therefore can be deployed easily on a cloud instance. Each instance of this server can open and instantiate multiple KIE containers, which allows you to execute multiple rule services in parallel.

You can provision the Decision Server instances through Decision Central.
