Chapter 2. New features
This section highlights new features in Red Hat Decision Manager 7.13.
2.1. Unified product deliverable and deprecation of Red Hat Decision Manager distribution files
In the Red Hat Process Automation Manager 7.13 release, the distribution files for Red Hat Decision Manager will be replaced with Red Hat Process Automation Manager files.

Red Hat Decision Manager is a subset of Red Hat Process Automation Manager, and Red Hat Decision Manager subscribers will continue to receive full support for the decision management and optimization capabilities.

Red Hat Decision Manager subscribers can upgrade to a full Red Hat Process Automation Manager subscription at any time to receive full support for BPM features.
