irCatalog is a business rule management tool that provides centralized management of rules to ensure the integrity of business rules, keep everyone working on the latest version of rules, and promote sharing of common rules across customers, processes or applications.
The Catalog Manager is a stand-alone web application that provides an administrative interface to an irCatalog repository. It is used to manage and migrate Rule Applications across an organization's various staging environments including production. It also provides an interface for managing users, roles, and permissions.
There are two options for deploying the Catalog and Catalog Manager, deploying with an Azure Resource Manager Template or deploying resources individually via the Azure CLI. Both options will deploy the same set of resources, but the ARM template deploys them all in a single step.
InRule is proud to release its latest APIs for discoverable and frictionless execution of decisions and rules. Decision Services are provided as two APIs-in-one including the newly designed Decision API and a modernized version of our classic Rule Execution API.
There are two options for deploying Decision Services: deploying through the Azure Marketplace or deploying with an Azure Resource Manager Template - both options will deploy the same set of resources. If deploying with the ARM template, you can choose to deploy via the Azure Portal or through the Azure CLI.
For more information on executing decisions and rules, refer to the following documentation:
Once Web Apps have been deployed, their individual log files can be retrieved.
