    Unable to specify a custom version while deploying XOM to RES V8.12.0

    When we deploy XOM to RES V8.12.0 by using API or from RES Console, by default it uses a sequential XOM version numbering, such as: 1.0, 2.0 etc. While deploying XOM we see only two options: 1) Increment resource major version, 2) Increment resour...

    In ODM 8.12 API "import decision service on top of the existing branch" is not removing the deleted items from the existing branch

    Enable cloud/Container ODM users to directly access the full set of sample projects—identical to those available for on-prem local installations—within Rule Designer or via a dedicated, downloadable package.

    in IBM ODM Decision Center 9.5, whenever we export a decision table to XLSX, dates are written in the format M/D/Y H:MM:SS AM/PM. Is there a possibility to change the format to Y-M-D HH:MM:SS. Example: Instead of 08/31/2025 03:00:00 PM, we would l...

    Ability to update a tag property of a business business rule using the query actions

    No provision of updating tag names or values for a given business rule using action rules undermines the usage of tags in general. The only way to update the values currently is one-by-one as part of editing each business rule properties. This is ...
