IBM Operational Decision Manager - Running it on WebSphere Liberty Profile on Docker - And there's more

So following my earlier post: -

IBM Operational Decision Manager - Running it on WebSphere Liberty Profile on Docker

I noticed that the Rule Execution Server ( Decision Server ) and Rule Team Server ( Decision Center ) capabilities weren't quite working as I'd expected.

Given that the original developerWorks article: -

Integrate Docker in your IBM Operational Decision Manager environment

was written for an older version of ODM ( 8.7.1 whereas I have 8.8.1 ), I reviewed the IBM Knowledge Center here: -

Configuring Rule Execution Server on the Liberty profile

and: -

Step 4: Deploying the Decision Center WAR files

specifically the server.xml for ODM 8.8.1 on Liberty is subtly different.

The Unix diff command showed me this: -

diff server.xml /tmp/server.xml

Once I rebuilt my Image with this updated server.xml, things went much better, and I can now log into my Decision Server and Decision Center, and things appear mainly normal.

I still need to sort out the Hosted Transformation Decision Server (HTDS) component, as per this: -

Step 6: Deploying the hosted transparent decision service

which is tomorrow's job :-)
