TIBCO BusinessEvents Decision Manager Overview
TIBCO BusinessEvents Decision Manager is a TIBCO BusinessEvents add-on product and uses the Rules Management Server (RMS) provided with TIBCO BusinessEvents.
Decision Manager Component
The Decision Manager component adapts TIBCO BusinessEvents Studio for the purpose of enabling business users to create and populate decision tables, that are then deployed in a TIBCO BusinessEvents project. The Decision Manager provides graphical environment for business users which supports and constrains their actions. TIBCO BusinessEvents Decision Manager supports access control to define what users with different user roles can do in the system.
Rules Management Server (RMS) Component
Rules Management Server (RMS) is a server-based component that manages the lifecycle of Decision Manager artifacts and Decision Manager user access.
Using a menu of options in TIBCO BusinessEvents Studio, RMS allows business users to check out projects and check them in, subject to an approval process that RMS also provides. The workflow process can be customized. For a more detailed overview see Decision Manager and RMS User Workflow.
Before RMS can be used, some configuration is required, see TIBCO BusinessEvents WebStudio User’s Guide of the TIBCO BusinessEvents documentation set for details.
