Installing a USoft Rules Service

A USoft Rules Service is an API for connecting to the Rules Engine of a USoft application for web-based (as opposed to: client-server) access:

• USoft-defined web pages.
• Web services provided by the USoft application.
• Services offered by a USoft Services Platform.

Once installed, a USoft Rules Service is listed in the Services console of the Control Panel (Administrative Tools).

Before you install a USoft Rules Service, you must determine which port number it is to use. This must be a port number that is not already in use. It is possible that you need multiple Rules Services on the same machine (the same Rules Server).
