IBM Operational Decision Manager (ODM) version 8.7.1 ships a set of predefined patterns, as listed here in the Knowledge Center, to enable the ODM environment to run on IBM PureApplication System, IBM PureApplication Software, and IBM PureApplication Service. For convenience, we include the corresponding part numbers, to simplify downloading the pattern through IBM Passport Advantage:
| Pattern Description | Part Number |
| IBM Operational Decision Manager Application Pattern V8.7.1 for AIX | CN5PXML |
| IBM Operational Decision Manager Application Pattern V8.7.1 for Red Hat Enterprise Linux | CN5PWML |
The ‘IBM ODM 8.7.1 Standalone Development Environment’ pattern deploys a single VM instance that contains both the Decision Center and Decision Server as a standalone development environment. It offers a simple deployment option with minimal resource requirements to set up a sandbox environment quickly and easily.
Unlike the other patterns using the golden topology where the console URLs on the IHS server are provided on the deployed pattern instance for convenience, a user of this standalone development pattern has to enter the links in the browser manually. Below is the list of console URLs, for you reference:
| Console Description | Console URL |
| Rule Execution Server Console | https://<standalone_dev_hostname>:9443/res |
| Hosted Transparent Decision Service | https://<standalone_dev_hostname>:9443/DecisionService |
| Rule Designer Download | https://<standalone_dev_hostname>:9443/ds_resource/odm_designer.zip |
| Decision Center Enterprise console | https://<standalone_dev_hostname>:9443/teamserver |
| Decision Center Business console | https://<standalone_dev_hostname>:9443/decisioncenter |
| Rule Solution For Office Installer Download | https://<standalone_dev_hostname>:9443/dc_resource/RuleSolutionsForOffice.exe |
Note: You could always create a simple Script Package that automatically adds these console URLs to the pattern instance after deployment. For sample, we’ve included a sample script package that implements it using the extendedattributes.json object:
