Are you using ODM in Message Broker?

    Are you using ODM in Message Broker?  Do you have an ODM or Business Rules Center of Excellence?  If so, how do you coordinate the work with the Broker team?  I don't have enough clients using business rules in Broker to get an accurate sense of the community Best Practices.  What are yours?

    Hi Glen,  here are 3 things to consider when decising how to implement and manage the decisions

    1.  Determine whether the logic in the Broker flow that is implemented as a rule based decision should only be updated and refreshed when the broker flow is updated
    2.  Determine whether the logic in the Broker flow that is implemented as a rule based decision is normally created / updated by the Broker flow developer or a separate business person (financial / risk role)
    3.  Determine how frequently the rule based decisions will change compared to the broker flow

    This should result in roughly one of 2 options

    a) The integration developers create, change the rule based decisions in step with doing integration flows  and both always get deployed together

    b) Separate rule authors implement the rule based decisions, which will probably change at a different frequency to the integration flows. Have the integration flows call out to decisions which can be changed at a different rate to the integration flows. This optimizes decision agility  and empowers the teams who own the decision logic, which is required from the integration flows.

    You have to determine for each use case which is the right model to use.
