Recently, Oracle Process Cloud Service (PCS) has made another major step forward through the addition of a whole new way of dealing with business rules. This brand new Decision Model Notation (DMN) feature is developed seperate from the actual processes and deployed as a microservice, so your decision models can be reused and everything is nicely loosely coupled. I like it.
What I also like about DMN is that it’s much more (business) user friendly than the rule engine from Oracle SOA Suite, which was used until now. While it was performing well and somewhat agreeable for technical users, business users were often lost and leaving the business rule modelling to developers. With this new DMN feature, this is no longer necessary. Business users will be able to do much more, if not everything, themselves and actually enjoy the experience!
I’ve decided to write a series of blogs about the different types of decision models that can be created and how to use them. But first we need to turn it on.

Getting Started

When you’re in the home screen, click on your login name in the top-right corner and choose ‘Administration’. On the Admin page, go to ‘UI Customization’ and tick ‘Enable DMN in Composer’, then Save. Read the complete article here.
