Why can't I edit an ruleapp with existing deployment baseline ?
Hello,
I use ODM 8.8. When I deploy a ruleapp from decision center, I choose to create a deployment baseline so that I can redeploy the very same version if needed.
Now if I want to edit this ruleapp to add or remove a ruleset, the edit buttons are disabled and decision center says I have first to delete all deployment baselines priorly to be able to edit the ruleapp. I really don't understand why.
In my java developments, I use subversion as a source control system. When I release a jar artifact, a tag is created to mark all the files belonging to the artifact, but I'm not required to delete all the previously created tags when I want to add a new file or remove a file in my artifact. So why the hell does ODM decision center require that ?
Thank you. dom
Hello @DominiqueJean-Prost
Deployment baselines are being used for redeploy or to be converted to branches.
The baseline contains only the projects for the rulesets of the ruleApp.
If you add a new ruleset, we won't have the deployment baseline for the project thus the ruleApp could not be redeployed.
It could have been done for ruleset removal but we made the design choice to maintain a consistent link between the content of the ruleApp and the content of its deployment baseline.

Hello,
Such a RFE has already been submited and is marked as delivered. To my mind, it wasn't. http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=44742
If it was, I wouldn't meet this problem. Does anyone know if it is really delivered and in which version ?
As you can read in the comment section of the RFE, the Product Management team wrote the following:
"the new decision service projects introduced in ODM 8.6 are better
addressing deployment configurations (defining ruleApps) and decision
operations (defining rulesets). The issue described doesn't exist
anymore.

The product is now evolving to decision services/decision engine/ business console.
For decision services, the deployment can only be performed from the business console where the process is completely different and where this scenario does not exist anymore.
Please refer to the documentation for more information on deployment
from business console :
Hello @odmfp
Well, I don't really understand your answer. What do you mean by "the projects for the rulesets". In my undestanding, I would expect odm to tag every version of every ruleset included in a specific version of a ruleapp, allowing to redeploy the very same ruleapp "binary" on subsequent deployment, and allowing to change a ruleapp content, I mean the rulesets included in the ruleapp. I understand you add "tags" to rulesets, but not on ruleapp, and that ruleapp content is not tagged.
Do you have any information on the RFE marked as delivered which is not to my mind ? Thank you.
