        * 80
        hostname 80

      ...to, for example...

        * 8181
        hostname 8181

      On each node, add entry for nodehost.mydomain.com on port 49019. Used by /teamserver and /decisioncenter.

      Remove definitions for ports you do not need.

      Save changes

    4. Run...

        Environment | Update global Web server plug-in configuration | OK

  15. Installation Options

    16. The installation manager of the enterprise console provides access to the main options of Decision Center...

    Modifying the build storage option limits the memory usage and stores on disk the cache of compiled business rules so this cache is persistent. To get those results, navigate to the installation manager and set the configuration parameter "teamserver.build.archive.storage" to file instead of memory...


  16. Project Options

    17. The options of a project are configurable in the Project tab of the enterprise console...

    Tuning of the rule project limits memory consumption and CPU usage at rule edition and compilation time. Use the following steps to tune the rule project build:

    1. Disable the Archive parsing flag option. This can be accessed by selecting Project -> Edit project options -> Check the ruleset archive

    2. Use Automatic build to avoid a huge ruleset generation cost at first ruleset generation

    3. Disable Rule analysis checks.
