Compiling multiple Decision Services
Using the Multiple Compilation feature, you can compile multiple Decision Services using directives specified in an XML file.
Table 35. usage: corticonManagement --multicompile
Argument
Description
-i,--input file
XML file containing directives for Ruleflow (.erf files) to compile
Example usage:

corticonManagement --multicompile
-i C:\precompile.xml
Template
The following template, provided as [CORTICON_HOME]\Server\bin\multipleCompilation.xml, presents the settings for the logs and the pattern for each of several Ruleflows to compile:

<MultipleCompilation>
<CompilationLogDirectory>
**Fully qualified path to directory
where log will be placed**
</CompilationLogDirectory>
<CompilationObjects>
<CompilationObject>
<DecisionServiceName>
**Name of the Decision Service**
</DecisionServiceName>
<RuleflowPath>
**Explicit path to the Ruleflow to compile**
</RuleflowPath>
<OutputDirectory>
**Explicit path to output directory for the .eds file**
</OutputDirectory>
<OverrideIfExists>
**true/false: Determines whether to
overwrite a matching file in the output directory**
</OverrideIfExists>
<DatabaseAccessMode>
**empty value/R/RW: Determines if and
how the Rules will be compiled for EDC compatibility**
</DatabaseAccessMode>
</CompilationObject>

<CompilationObject>
...
</CompilationObject>
</CompilationObjects>
</MultipleCompilation>
The following example of multipleCompilation.xml specifies two Ruleflows to compile, each as its own Decision Service.

<MultipleCompilation>
<CompilationLogDirectory>C:\Corticon\Compilation_logs</CompilationLogDirectory>
<CompilationObjects>
<CompilationObject>
<DecisionServiceName>Cargo</DecisionServiceName>
<RuleflowPath>C:\Corticon\staging\Ruleflows\cargo.erf</RuleflowPath>
<OutputDirectory>C:\Corticon\staging\DecisionServices</OutputDirectory>
<OverrideIfExists>true</OverrideIfExists>
<DatabaseAccessMode>RW</DatabaseAccessMode>
</CompilationObject>
<CompilationObject>
<CompilationObject>
<DecisionServiceName>GroceryStore</DecisionServiceName>
<RuleflowPath>C:\Corticon\staging\Ruleflows\grocery.erf</RuleflowPath>
<OutputDirectory>C:\Corticon\staging\DecisionServices</OutputDirectory>
<OverrideIfExists>true</OverrideIfExists>
<DatabaseAccessMode></DatabaseAccessMode>
</CompilationObject>
<CompilationObject>
</CompilationObject>
</CompilationObjects>
</MultipleCompilation>
Once the compilation objects are defined, launching multipleCompilation.bat compiles each of the Ruleflows into its target Decision Service.
