RELATED IDEAS

ODM RES "Creation Date" is from when the deployment artifact is kicked off from Decision Center and not when it was deployed to the RES.

The "Creation Date" is from Decision Center, but from an audit perspective we need to be able to evidence when the ruleset was deployed to the RES. 

These times can be roughly the same if you push from directly form Decision Center to the RES, but for any other process of manually uploading or with additional controls that require sign off for deployments these timestamps end up being wildly different.

    While there is a short term workaround, a longer term solution would be to extend the RES DB model with an upload date for each ruleApp.

    Hello,

    I checked with the ODM dev team, and I confirm there is no storage or management of an 'upload' date for ruleApps in the RES database.

    That being said, one possible workaround to add such a date would be to use the ruleApp properties and define one with that upload date, as part of a script that deploys the ruleApp archive to a RES instance. This can be automated via REST APIs.

    Could that be a solution for your ruleApp deployments ?
