Chapter 3. New features

Starting with Red Hat Decision Manager 7.12, IBM Power supports Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.10 using Open JDK 11. For a complete list of supported configurations, see Red Hat Decision Manager 7 Supported Configurations.

A new KIE Server system property, org.kie.executor.jms.jobHeader, was added to Red Hat Decision Manager. If the value of this property is set to true, the jobId JMS header property will contain the request identifier.

For a list of KIE Server system properties, see Managing and monitoring KIE Server.

The following quickstarts are included in the Red Hat Decision Manager 7.12.0 Kogito and OptaPlanner 8 Decision Services Quickstarts download (rhdm-7.12.0-kogito-and-optaplanner-quickstarts.zip):

Red Hat build of OptaPlanner exposes metrics through Micrometer, a metrics instrumentation library for Java applications. You can use Micrometer with popular monitoring systems to monitor the OptaPlanner solver. For information about using Micrometer with OptaPlanner, see Developing Solvers with Red Hat Decision Manager.

When you deploy Red Hat Decision Manager on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform using the operator installer, by default the deployment uses the OpenShiftStartupStrategy setting. You can now switch to the Controller startup strategy in the configuration user interface if necessary.

You can now set custom hostnames for external routes by using the routeHostname property.

You can now enable or disable SSL in the operator and expose the SSL route.

You can now specify whether to use a default or user customized CORS configuration.

When deploying Red Hat Decision Manager on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform, LDAP security configuration now uses the Elytron subsystem. To support the Elytron subsystem, the following configuration settings were removed:

The following configuration settings were added:

When deploying a high-availability Red Hat Decision Manager environment on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform, you can now configure the user name and password for the Red Hat Data Grid component.

When deploying Red Hat Decision Manager on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform, running post-configuration scripts on Red Hat JBoss EAP on the Business Central and KIE Server pods is now supported. You can use these scripts to configure Elytron users.

When deploying Red Hat Decision Manager on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform, you can now configure role mapping for Red Hat Single Sign-On or LDAP configuration by entering the configuration directly in the settings, without using a role mapping configuration file. The use of a role mapping configuration file is now optional but still supported.
