Rules Management Server (RMS)

Rules Management Server (RMS) is a server-based component that manages the repository of the TIBCO BusinessEvents projects, lifecycle of the WebStudio artifacts and WebStudio user access.

RMS provides an easy, secure, and scripted deployment lifecycle. RMS is supported on all platforms that support TIBCO BusinessEvents. Users can access RMS remotely. RMS does not have to be installed on users’ machines.

Under certain circumstances, the use of RMS is optional. (see TIBCO BusinessEvents Decision Manager User’s Guide).

You may require some basic configuration before you use RMS. You also set up the project resources required for business users to create decision tables or business rules for each TIBCO BusinessEvents project. See Configuring RMS Server Properties. Administrators can configure authentication and access control as needed. See TIBCO BusinessEvents Administration for authentication and access control configuration.

RMS enables you to check out projects from the repository. The necessary project resources are loaded into the cache. If you have the TIBCO BusinessEvents Decision Manager add-on installed, then the artifacts are also copied into the client’s machine. After you are finished working with the projects, you check in the modified artifacts to RMS for approval. See WebStudio and RMS User Workflow for a more detailed overview.

RMS is implemented using TIBCO BusinessEvents. Knowledgeable TIBCO BusinessEvents users can customize it. The example projects are located in the BE_HOME/examples/standard/WebStudio directory, you can configure the RMS to take projects from SVN location as well. Note that documentation is provided for the product as it is shipped. If you customize RMS some documentation may not apply.
