1 Installation — Overview
This guide gives you the information needed to install SAP NetWeaver Decision Service Management
(DSM). DSM is an add-on based on SAP NetWeaver. It extends the capabilities of the ABAP-based business
rules engine Business Rule Framework plus (BRFplus), which is a part of SAP NetWeaver release 7.02
(or higher). With DSM, you can completely separate the process of rule modeling from rule processing.
To accomplish this, you set up a system landscape with a dedicated design time system for rule modeling
and administration (SAP NetWeaver release 7.31 SP 4 or higher). In this system, you run the following
tools:
■ BRFplus workbench
This is the rule modeling environment provided by BRFplus.
■ Decision Service Manager
This is the administration tool provided by DSM. It is used to associate a BRFplus application in
the design time system with another system in your landscape (so-called managed system; the
managed system can be a test system, your productive system, or any other system to which you
want to connect). With that, the BRFplus application can access the Data Dictionary of the managed
system rather than the data in the design time system. Once the functions defined in the BRFplus
application have been tested successfully, they can be deployed as services to one or more managed
systems.

1.1 Installation — Step by Step
2013-07-09 PUBLIC 5/18
PrerequisitesSAP NetWeaver Decision Service Management is an add-on based on SAP NetWeaver. For a proper
installation of the add-on, you need a system with the following software components installed:
DSM Release SAP NetWeaver Releases
DSM 1.0 SP00 NW 7.31 SP05
NW 7.40 SP02
DSM 1.0 SP01 NW 7.31 SP05
NW 7.40 SP02
DSM 1.0 SP02 NW 7.31 SP08
NW 7.40 SP03
The releases and support packages listed above represent minimum requirements. SAP recommends
to always use the latest NW SP before installing DMS.
NOTE
You can also use DSM SP02 functionality – with minor restrictions – without installing Support
Package 2. For more information, see the following SAP Notes:
■ 1832797 – BRFplus: Deployment approval workflow preparation
■ 1832759 – DSM: Workflow enablement for approval/deletion
Integration
Required Documentation
The following sections describe the documentation you need for the installation:
■ SAP Installation Notes
■ Information in the SAP Service Marketplace
SAP Installation Notes
You must read the following SAP Notes before you start the installation. These SAP Notes contain the
most recent information on the installation, as well as corrections to the installation documentation.
Make sure that you have an up-to-date version of each SAP Note. You can find SAP Notes in the SAP
Service Marketplace at http://service.sap.com/notes:
SAP Note Number Title Description
1688842 Installation DECSERMG 100 Describes in detail the technical steps of installing Decision Service Management
Reuse of BRFplus Services
While DSM is a NetWeaver add-on with respect to the software component stack, it is, at the same time,
a functional extension to Business Rule Framework plus (BRFplus), which is part of SAP NetWeaver.
As a consequence, DSM uses several objects and services that are already provided by BRFplus. This is
true, for example, for the logging functionality where DSM makes use of the same application log
objects as BRFplus. For more information, see the BRFplus application help topic Tracing.

■ DECSERMG 100
In addition to this, the following prerequisites must be fulfilled:
■ In the DSM system, WebDynpro ABAP must be active.
■ The following roles are assigned to your user profile:
● SAP_BC_FDT_ADMINISTRATOR (rule modeling and setting up connections to managed systems)
● SAP_DSM_ADMINISTRATOR (working with the Decision Service Manager)
1 Installation — Overview
1.2 Installation Procedure
2013-07-09 PUBLIC 7/18
■ A system that you want to set up as a managed system must be based on SAP NetWeaver 2004
(software component SAP_BASIS 640) or higher.
Procedure
For each system in your system landscape that you want to make available as a managed system for
BRFplus, you have to run through all the steps described below:
Define an RFC Connection
1. In the Decision Service Manager system, create an RFC connection (transaction code SM59) to the
managed system with the following settings:
■ Type: 3 (ABAP connections)
■ Logon & Security: Either define a user with the password stored directly in the settings of the RFC
connection, or choose Trust Relationship = Yes.
Make sure the user that you enter in the RFC connection has the SAP_BC_FDT_ADMINISTRATOR role
assigned.
2. Save your settings and leave the transaction.
Transfer the Public Key Defined for Decision Service Management to the Managed System
1. In the DSM system, start the Trust Manager (transaction code STRUST).
2. In the list of keys, select the System PSE node.
3. Doubleclick the value shown in the Owner field. The system populates the fields in the Certificate
group with the data that belong to the selected certificate.
4. Choose Export certificate to export the key data to a local certificate file.
5. In the managed system, start the Trust Manager transaction and select the System PSE node.
6. Choose Import certificate to import the key data from the certificate file that you have created in the
previous step.
7. Choose Add to Certificate List to include the imported key to the list of trusted certificates of the
managed system.
8. Save your settings and leave the transaction.
Set up a Managed System Based on the Previous Steps
1. In the DSM system, start the Decision Service Manager (transaction DSM).
2. Click Edit to enter the DSM edit mode.
NOTE
In Decision Service Manager, only one user can use the tool in edit mode. All other users are
restricted to read-only mode as long as there is one user logged on in edit mode.
3. Click New to create a new managed system. Enter a system name and a description of your choice.
For the RFC Destination, enter the technical name of the RFC connection that you have created as
described above.

4. In the Details section of the newly created managed system, go to the Applications tab.
5. Click Add to associate one of the already existing BRFplus applications with the managed system,
or click New to create a new application that is associated to the managed system.
6. Save your settings.
Once you are done with the steps described above, business users can start modeling rule applications
in the BRFplus workbench, thereby accessing the ABAP Dictionary objects that are stored in the
managed system to which the application is associated.
