Release notes for Red Hat Decision Manager 7.13

Red Hat Decision Manager 7.13

Abstract

This document contains release notes for Red Hat Decision Manager 7.13.

Preface

These release notes list new features, features in technology preview, known issues, and issues fixed in Red Hat Decision Manager 7.13.

Making open source more inclusive

Red Hat is committed to replacing problematic language in our code, documentation, and web properties. We are beginning with these four terms: master, slave, blacklist, and whitelist. Because of the enormity of this endeavor, these changes will be implemented gradually over several upcoming releases. For more details, see our CTO Chris Wright’s message.

Chapter 1. Product overview

Red Hat Decision Manager is an open-source decision management platform that combines business rules management, complex event processing, Decision Model & Notation (DMN) execution, and Red Hat build of OptaPlanner for solving planning problems. It automates business decisions and makes that logic available to the entire business.

Business assets such as rules, decision tables, and DMN models are stored in a central repository. This ensures consistency, transparency, and the ability to audit across the business. Business users can modify business logic without requiring assistance from IT personnel.

Red Hat Decision Manager 7.13 provides increased stability, several fixed issues, and new features.

Red Hat Decision Manager is fully supported on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform and can be installed on various platforms.

For information about the support policy for Red Hat Decision Manager, see the Release maintenance plan for Red Hat Decision Manager 7.x and Red Hat Process Automation Manager 7.x.

Chapter 2. New features

This section highlights new features in Red Hat Decision Manager 7.13.

2.1. Unified product deliverable and deprecation of Red Hat Decision Manager distribution files

In the Red Hat Process Automation Manager 7.13 release, the distribution files for Red Hat Decision Manager will be replaced with Red Hat Process Automation Manager files. Note that there will not be any change to the Red Hat Decision Manager subscription and the support entitlements and fees will remain the same. Red Hat Decision Manager is a subset of Red Hat Process Automation Manager, and Red Hat Decision Manager subscribers will continue to receive full support for the decision management and optimization capabilities. The business process management (BPM) capabilities are exclusive to Red Hat Process Automation Manager and will be available for use by Red Hat Decision Manager subscribers but with development support services only. Red Hat Decision Manager subscribers can upgrade to a full Red Hat Process Automation Manager subscription at any time to receive full support for BPM features.

Red Hat Decision Manager container images are now deprecated with unified deliverables. Red Hat Decision Manager subscribers can upgrade or install the latest Red Hat Process Automation Manager images from version 7.13 onward instead.

4.12. Support for HACEP

High available (HA) event-driven decisioning, including Complex Event Processing (CEP), is deprecated due to end of support for AMQ Streams 1.x.

Chapter 5. Technology preview

This section lists features that are in Technology Preview in Red Hat Decision Manager 7.13. Business Central includes an experimental features administration page that is disabled by default. To enable this page, set the value of the appformer.experimental.features property to true.

Important

These features are for Technology Preview only. Technology Preview features are not supported with Red Hat production service level agreements (SLAs), might not be functionally complete, and Red Hat does not recommend using them for production. These features provide early access to upcoming product features, enabling customers to test functionality and provide feedback during the development process.

For more information on Red Hat Technology Preview features, see Technology Preview Features Scope.

5.1. Deploying a high-availability authoring environment on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.x

You can deploy a high-availability Red Hat Decision Manager authoring environment on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.x using the operator.

5.2. OpenShift operator installer wizard

An installer wizard is provided in the Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform operator for Red Hat Decision Manager. You can use the wizard to deploy a Red Hat Decision Manager environment on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform with the operator.

5.3. Authoring perspective customization

You can perform the following tasks to customize the Business Central authoring perspective:

Open a Business Central project directly using an URL path parameter, without going through a list of spaces and projects.
Hide or show the project toolbar, Metrics tab, and Change Request tab according to your requirements.
Enhance the pagination.
Customize the number of assets present on the project screen.

5.4. Red Hat build of OptaPlanner new constraint collectors

In order to provide a full implementation of some pre-existing OptaPlanner examples using the Constraint Streams API, the standard library of constraint collectors has been extended to include the following constraint collectors:

One constraint collector takes point values such as dates, orders them on a number line, and makes groups of consecutive values with breaks between the groups available downstream.
Another constraint collector takes interval values such as shifts, creates clusters of consecutive and possibly overlapping values with breaks between clusters, and makes the clusters available downstream.

These new collectors are in technology preview. Their interfaces, names, and functionality are subject to change. They have been placed in an experimental package outside of the public API to encourage public feedback before they become an officially supported part of the OptaPlanner public API.

5.5. Red Hat build of Kogito and Kafka integration

Red Hat build of Kogito decision microservices integration with managed Kafka by using the org.kie.kogito:kogito-addons-{quarkus|springboot}-events-decisions event-driven add-on is now available as technology preview. On Red Hat build of Quarkus, you can add the io.quarkus:quarkus-kubernetes-service-binding dependency to the application to handle the service binding created by the managed Kafka. On Spring boot, you must add the mappings field to the created service binding which must contain the required environment variables needed by the application. Another solution is to use the custom configuration maps available in the Red Hat build of Kogito operator.

Chapter 6. Known issues in Red Hat Decision Manager 7.13

This section lists known issues with Red Hat Decision Manager 7.13.

6.1. Spring Boot

Wrong managed version of Spring Boot dependencies [RHPAM-4413]

Issue: The Spring Boot version (2.6.6) in the Maven repository is not certified by Red Hat yet. Therefore, you will receive a mismatch for the Narayana starter in productized binaries.

Workaround: In your pom.xml file, define the following properties to override the current versions:

<version.org.springframework.boot>2.5.12</version.org.springframework.boot>
<version.me.snowdrop.narayana>2.6.3.redhat-00001</version.me.snowdrop.narayana>

6.2. Red Hat build of Kogito

Red Hat build of Kogito is aligned with a non-supported Spring Boot version [RHPAM-4419]

Issue: Red Hat build of Kogito Spring Boot versions are managed in the kogito-spring-boot-bom file, which imports dependency management from the org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-dependencies BOM. The currently aligned version is 2.6.6, which does not map to any Red Hat supported versions. The latest supported version is 2.5.12. You must override dependency management with a BOM aligning to the Red Hat supported version which is 2.5.12.

Workaround:

To maintain the order of the imported BOM files, first include the Spring Boot BOM and then include the Red Hat build of Kogito specific BOM file:

<dependencyManagement>
    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>dev.snowdrop</groupId>
            <artifactId>snowdrop-dependencies</artifactId>
            <version>2.5.12.Final-redhat-00001</version>
            <type>pom</type>
            <scope>import</scope>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.kie.kogito</groupId>
            <artifactId>kogito-spring-boot-bom</artifactId>
            <version>1.13.2.redhat-00002</version>
            <type>pom</type>
            <scope>import</scope>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>

Align the version of spring-boot-maven-plugin to the same version in your project build configuration file:

<plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.kie.kogito</groupId>
        <artifactId>kogito-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>1.13.2.redhat-00002</version>
        <extensions>true</extensions>
      </plugin>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>2.5.12</version>
        <executions>
          <execution>
            <goals>
              <goal>repackage</goal>
            </goals>
          </execution>
        </executions>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>

Red Hat build of Kogito on Spring Boot leads to misalignment of Kafka-clients version [RHPAM-4418]

Issue: The Kafka-clients dependency version for Red Hat build of Kogito Spring Boot is by default managed by the org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-dependencies BOM. Depending on which Spring Boot version is used, users might end up with an unsupported or vulnerable version of Kafka-clients. You must override the default dependency in your kogito-spring-boot-bom to make sure you have the expected Kafka-clients version.

Workaround: In your projects, define dependencyManagement explicitly for org.apache.kafka:kafka-clients dependency to use the version released by AMQ Streams.

Chapter 8. Known issues in Red Hat Decision Manager 7.13.1

This section lists known issues with Red Hat Decision Manager 7.13.1.

8.1. Business Central

Unable to deploy Business Central using JDK version 11.0.16 [RHPAM-4497]

Issue: It is not possible to deploy Business Central if your installation uses JDK version 11.0.16.

Actual result: Business Central does not deploy when launched.

Expected result: Business Central deploys successfully.

Workaround: Use a previous JDK version such as 11.0.5 or earlier.

8.2. Form Modeler

Date type process variable is empty when the process is started using Business Central form with the showTime set to false [RHPAM-4514]

Issue: When you use the default form rendering in Business Central and the process variable field has showTime=false, the started process instance shows that the variable is empty. The affected types are java.time.LocalDateTime, java.time.LocalDate, java.time.LocalTime, and java.util.Date.

Steps to reproduce:

Define the process variable with a specific type.
Generate a form.
Open a form and set showTime=false for a specified field.
Deploy the project.
Open the process form.
Specify the value in the process form.
Check the process instance variables. The value for the specified variable is empty.

Workaround: None.

Form in KIE Server with a java.util.Date field does not allow the time to be inserted [RHPAM-4513]

Issue: When a process has a variable of type java.util.Date, the generated form, if the showTime attribute is true, does not allow inserting the time part. Then after submitting the Date variable shows all zeros in the time part of the datatype.

Workaround: None.

8.3. Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform

PostgreSQL 13 Pod won’t start because of an incompatible data dirctory [RHPAM-4464]
