IBM IAM9:  Message Broker – WebSphere Decision Service Node - United States iam9; JRules; Decision Management; Rule Engine; ILog DOWNLOADABLE FILES

ABSTRACT
 This SupportPac provides a node to execute the J2SE rule execution server (RES) of WebSphere Operational Decision Management inside the WebSphere Message Broker JVM. 

DOWNLOAD DESCRIPTION
This SupportPac provides a WebSphere Decision Service Node in WebSphere Message Broker to run a J2SE runtime business rules engine that can process rules based on the business content from messages within message broker flows. The runtime rules engine can come from the WebSphere Operational Decision Management (WODM). The node receives a input message, extracts the rule set parameter and then runs the rule engine. The result is sent to the output terminal and can be used for complex routing and decision making. 

The SupportPac makes existing custom integrations between WebSphere Message Broker and WebSphere Operational Decision Management simpler to implement.

The SupportPac is delivered as a User Defined Node added to the Message Broker Toolkit palette. 
• WebSphere Message Broker v7, v8, v9 with IAM9 node v1 SupportPac with ODM v7, v7.5 and v8.
• WebSphere Message Broker v7, v8, v9 with IAM9 node v2 SupportPac with ODM V8.0.1 and 8.5.

Possible Uses
Decision Service node can be used for:
• Complex flow decisions by rule.
• Content based routing by rule.

New in this Release
• Provide a node implementation for all ODM releases currently available.
• Change the user interface and input to look similar to the decision service node of IBM Integration Bus (formerly known as WebSphere Message Broker) v9.
• Enable Decision Warehouse.
• Provide Local Environment Structure to set rule set path and rule set parameters.

Question: Business Rules with Message Broker  I want to know if there is a way to use a business rule approach with Message Broker. Because I want to take advantage about benefits for using it, like if they(rules) are not embedded in code, they can be reused and shared, even though application is retired.

I have heard about some rules engine like Drools. Is it  possible to do this merge with Message Broker or this has its own rules engine? Where can I go to search for information about this?

Answer: This SupportPac provides a node to execute the J2SE rule execution server (RES) of WebSphere Operational Decision Management inside the WebSphere Message Broker JVM.
