Connecting Appian to a Decision table rules engine

Hi Vivek

Appian can expose its rules via WebAPIs. Conversely Appian can invoke rules in other BREs if they can expose them via, say, a REST API.

Hi Stewart ,

Can we Connect the APPIAN with IBM ODM and use the rules in Appian ?

This is possible only when the third party system allows Appian to call the rule engine services remotely and should provide API for the same

Hi Juan - there isn't enough information provided to answer your question. There are so many factors that need to be taken into consideration:

can Appian "see" the BRE (Business Rules Engine) from an infrastructure perspective?
does the BRE expose services to allow you to call it remotely?
if it can expose services what format is that in? SOAP? REST? other?
if not does it have an API you can program against to deliver the necessary services? Do you have the knowledge/skills to do this?
if you can invoke the BRE remotely does it perform adequately for your needs? Does it scale adequately?

...and I'm sure there are more I haven't thought of...
