A Red Hat training course is available for Red Hat Decision Manager

Chapter 7. Configuring a Decision Server to connect to Decision Central

If a Decision Server is not already configured in your Red Hat Decision Manager environment, or if you require additional Decision Servers in your Red Hat Decision Manager environment, you must configure a Decision Server to connect to Decision Central.

Note

If you are deploying Decision Server on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform, see Deploying a Red Hat Decision Manager authoring or managed server environment on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform for instructions about configuring it to connect to Decision Central.

Prerequisite

Decision Server is installed. For installation options, see Planning a Red Hat Decision Manager installation.

Procedure

  1. In your Red Hat Decision Manager installation directory, navigate to the standalone-full.xml file. For example, if you use a Red Hat JBoss EAP installation for Red Hat Decision Manager, go to $EAP_HOME/standalone/configuration/standalone-full.xml.

  2. Open standalone-full.xml and under the <system-properties> tag, set the following properties:

    • org.kie.server.controller.user: The user name of a user who can log in to the Decision Central.
    • org.kie.server.controller.pwd: The password of the user who can log in to the Decision Central.
    • org.kie.server.controller: The URL for connecting to the API of Decision Central. Normally, the URL is http://<centralhost>:<centralport>/decision-central/rest/controller, where <centralhost> and <centralport> are the host name and port for Decision Central. If Decision Central is deployed on OpenShift, remove decision-central/ from the URL.
    • org.kie.server.location: The URL for connecting to the API of Decision Server. Normally, the URL is http://<serverhost>:<serverport>/kie-server/services/rest/server, where <serverhost> and <serverport> are the host name and port for Decision Server.
    • org.kie.server.id: The name of a server configuration. If this server configuration does not exist in Decision Central, it is created automatically when Decision Server connects to Decision Central.

    Example: 

    <property name="org.kie.server.controller.user" value="central_user"/>
<property name="org.kie.server.controller.pwd" value="central_password"/>
<property name="org.kie.server.controller" value="http://central.example.com:8080/decision-central/rest/controller"/>
<property name="org.kie.server.location" value="http://kieserver.example.com:8080/kie-server/services/rest/server"/>
<property name="org.kie.server.id" value="production-servers"/>
  3. Start or restart the Decision Server.
