Chapter 8. Integrating with Red Hat Decision Manager

Spring Framework is a Java platform that provides comprehensive infrastructure support for developing Java applications. Spring Boot is a lightweight framework based on Spring Boot starters. Spring Boot starters are pom.xml files that contain a set of dependency descriptors that you can include in your Spring Boot project. Red Hat offers support and maintenance for Red Hat Decision Manager Spring Boot projects as part of Red Hat Runtimes.

Red Hat Decision Manager Spring Boot business applications are flexible, UI-agnostic logical groupings of individual services that provide certain business capabilities. Business applications are based on Spring Boot starters. They are usually deployed separately and can be versioned individually. A complete business application enables a domain to achieve specific business goals, for example order management or accommodation management.

On the business application website you can create a Process Automation Manager, Decision Manager, or Red Hat build of OptaPlanner business application. After you create and configure your business application, you can deploy it to an existing service or to the cloud, through OpenShift.

Fuse is a distributed, cloud-native integration platform that is part of an agile integration solution. Its distributed approach enables teams to deploy integrated services where required.

You can install Red Hat Fuse on the Apache Karaf container platform or Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform and then install and configure Red Hat Decision Manager in that container.

Red Hat Single Sign-On (RH-SSO) is a single sign-on solution that you can use to secure your browser applications with your REST web services and Git access.

When you integrate Red Hat Decision Manager with RH-SSO, you create an SSO and identity management (IDM) environment for Red Hat Decision Manager. The session management feature of RH-SSO enables you to use a single authentication for different Red Hat Decision Manager environments on the internet.

Red Hat Decision Manager supports RH-SSO 7.5 on Red Hat JBoss EAP 7.4.
