Chapter 1. About Red Hat Decision Manager
Red Hat Decision Manager is an open source decision management platform that combines business rules management, complex event processing, Decision Model & Notation (DMN) execution, and Business Optimizer for solving planning problems. It automates business decisions and makes that logic available to the entire business.
Business assets such as rules, decision tables, and DMN models are organized in projects and stored in the Decision Central repository. This ensures consistency, transparency, and the ability to audit across the business. Business users can modify business logic without requiring assistance from IT personnel.
Red Hat JBoss Web Server is an enterprise ready web server designed for medium and large applications, based on Tomcat. Red Hat JBoss Web Server provides organizations with a single deployment platform for Java Server Pages (JSP) and Java Servlet technologies, PHP, and CGI.
On a Red Hat JBoss Web Server installation, you can install Decision Server and the headless Decision Manager controller. Alternatively, you can run the standalone Decision Central JAR file.
The instructions in this document explain how to install Red Hat Decision Manager in a Red Hat JBoss Web Server 5.0 server instance. For instruction on how to install Red Hat Decision Manager in other environments, see the following documents:
