Decision Server Rules for z/OS

Marshaller file generation (introduced in V8.9.0.1)

The COBOL and PL/I management feature in Rule Designer now generates marshaller JAR files in the /resources/cobol/marshallers and /resources/pli/marshallers folders (instead of /cobol-xom and /pli-xom). These files are synchronized into Decision Center along with the other elements in a rule project, and no longer have to be regenerated when downloaded back into Rule Designer. Projects created with previous versions of the product must have their COBOL and PL/I XOMs generated once to apply this change. New information Learn more...
