Decision Manager
API :8082 · UI :3000
Where business and engineering design, test, and govern decision logic.
Documentation
The API, without an account.
No email wall and no lead form. If the API does not convince you, a gated PDF will not either.
API module map
Four backend services, one workspace model, one auth model. Ports below are the local defaults the extension, Studio workspaces, and this page use.
| Service | Port | Prefix | Owns |
|---|---|---|---|
| platform | :8081 | /api/auth · /api/me · /api/workspaces · /api/trial · /scim/v2 | identity, tenancy, trial lifecycle, OpenAPI document |
| decision manager | :8082 | /api/manager | authoring, governance, testing, ODM migration |
| decision server | :8083 | /api/server | deployment, execution, warehouse |
| admin | :8084 | /api/admin | members, API keys, webhooks, audit, quotas |
Blue/green traffic mutation (PUT …/traffic, POST …/rollback) is served by decision manager on :8082, not decision server on :8083. Health live/ready answers on every service.
Browser consoles
Each console talks to its API module over the same governed repository. All three consoles are included in every plan — product pages describe the surface; open the console to use it.
Decision Server
API :8083 · UI :3001
The hot path: deploy, execute, and measure decisions in production.
Admin
API :8084 · UI :3002
Operate the platform: people, keys, and a paper trail for everything.
IDE vs browser consoles
Decision Manager and Decision Server each have a browser console. Developers who prefer an editor use the VS Code extension against the same Manager and Server APIs — one repository, two surfaces. Neither surface replaces the other.
Decision Manager (browser)
console · manager :8082
Authoring and governance for business and engineering together: decision-table grid, action rules, ruleflow canvas, vocabulary, review and promotion. The surface a policy owner opens in a meeting.
Decision Server (browser)
console · runtime :8083
Operations: deploy published versions, execute against an environment, read execution history and warehouse health. Not an authoring IDE — the console an operator keeps open.
VS Code extension (IDE)
editor · platform + manager + runtime + admin
The developer half: repository explorer, BAL/JSON with vocabulary-driven LSP, decision trace, Test Explorer, governed deploy and Git export. Install from the measured .vsix — same four API modules, no second source of truth.
| Task | Browser console | VS Code IDE |
|---|---|---|
| Edit a decision table with a grid | Manager — primary | JSON / dmrule in the editor |
| BAL completion & live validation | Manager in-console editor | LSP against Manager vocabulary APIs |
| Submit / approve / publish | Manager governance UI | Governance view (same lifecycle) |
| Deploy to an environment | Server console | Deploy commands → runtime API |
| Ops: history, warehouse, slots | Server console — primary | Not the focus of the extension |
| Git export / multi-file diff | Pull/export helpers in Manager | Native VS Code diff & Git |
Compared with IBM ODM's Eclipse Rule Designer + Decision Center + RES console split, the browser consoles cover Center/RES roles and the VS Code extension is the designer-for-developers path — without requiring an Eclipse install. Download the VS Code extension
Trial lifecycleplatform :8081
Create a trial, read its entitlements, extend it, convert it, cancel it, and take your data out. Cancel and export are ordinary endpoints, not a support ticket.
| POST | /api/trial/signup |
| GET | /api/trial/tiers |
| GET | /api/trial/:wid |
| POST | /api/trial/:wid/extend |
| POST | /api/trial/:wid/convert |
| POST | /api/trial/:wid/cancel |
| GET | /api/trial/:wid/export |
ODM migrationmanager :8082
Upload an ODM export, analyse it against your workspace for the gap report, then commit the rules that translated. Analyse is non-destructive: nothing is written until you commit.
| POST | /api/manager/workspaces/:wid/odm/services |
| POST | /api/manager/workspaces/:wid/odm/analyze |
| POST | /api/manager/workspaces/:wid/odm/commit |
Executionruntime :8083
Execute a deployed decision service against an environment and get the decision, the matched rules and the step count back.
| POST | /api/server/services/:sid/execute |
OpenAPI
The full generated specification is served by the platform.
GET /api/openapi.json
platform :8081
Known issue, stated here rather than found by you
POST /api/server/services/:sid/execute currently returns 500 INTERNAL_DB on this build: a SUM() over a bigint column returns NUMERIC and is decoded as i64 in backend/crates/runtime/src/api.rs. A fix is with the runtime team. We would rather you read that here than hit it in your first five minutes.
