Deactivate a Decision Model

In some cases, the system automatically deactivates decision models, but in other cases, you need to deactivate them manually when required.

Within a major version family (for example, 1.x.x), only one decision model can be active at a time. If version 1.0.0 is active and you activate version 1.0.1, the system automatically deactivates 1.0.0 and sets 1.0.1 as active.

However, you may require to manually deactivate a decision model in specific scenarios, such as:

  • Error mitigation: In case of unforeseen errors, deactivation is a quick way to prevent a faulty model from impacting business processes. You can edit the model to correct errors and reactivate it.
  • Model replacement: When a new, major version of a decision model is ready for production, you may need to retire the older version.
  • Maintenance: During system maintenance or troubleshooting, you may pause a decision model to prevent errors from system unavailability.
To deactivate a decision model:
  1. In your project, click Decision Decision icon in the left toolbar to view the list of decision models.
  2. In the Decisions box, point to the decision model you want to deactivate, click Options icon, and click Deactivate.
  3. In the Deactivate decision dialog, click Deactivate.
A confirmation message appears, indicating that the decision model has been submitted for deactivation.
