Abstract

There are provided systems and methods for hardening of rule data object version for smart deployment. A service provider, such as an electronic transaction processor for digital transactions, may utilize different decision services that implement rules for decision-making of data including real-time data in production computing environments. Rules may correspond to coded statements that perform an automated decision-making service for the computing services and platforms of the service provider. When writing rules different variables for data objects are used, which are updated over time. Thus, a rule authoring application may be updated over time to have more and newer variables, which requires updating of the decision services. To optimize updating of the decision services when deploying new rules, the service provider may determine compatible versions of specifications for the variables. Thereafter, the service provider may determine whether a device service's variable specification requires updating.

Dependent claims

A system comprising:

a non-transitory memory;
and
one or more hardware processors coupled to the non-transitory memory and configured to read instructions from the non-transitory memory to cause the system to perform operations comprising:
receiving a data package comprising a first rule having one or more first variables from a rule data object (RDO) specification, wherein a first version of the RDO specification comprises a plurality of variables that is utilized by a rule authoring application for a generation of the first rule;
determining the one or more first variables used by the data package based on at least the first rule;
determining one or more second variables comprising one or more unused ones of the plurality of variables from the first version of the RDO specification based on the one or more first variables and the first version;
determining, from a plurality of versions including the first version of the RDO specification, at least one compatible version of the RDO specification for the data package based on the one or more first variables and the one or more second variables;
determining a second version of the RDO specification used by a first rule decision service;
determining whether to update the second version of the RDO specification used by the first rule decision service based on the at least one compatible version for the data package;
and
deploying the data package to the first rule decision service based on the determining whether to update the second version used by the first rule decision service.

8 more elements

A method comprising:

accessing, by one or more hardware processors, a rule package comprising at least one rule including a plurality of data object variables corresponding to a rule data object (RDO) specification, wherein the plurality of data object variables is associated with data objects that load data associated with the at least one rule for performing at least one decision-making operation, and wherein the rule package is designated for deployment to a decision service for the performing the at least one decision-making operation;
determining at least one version of the RDO specification that is compatible with the rule package based on the plurality of data object variables and a plurality of versions available for the RDO specification;
determining, from the plurality of versions available for the RDO specification, a first version that is utilized by the decision service;
determining whether to update the first version of the RDO specification for the decision service based on the at least one version of the RDO specification that is compatible with the rule package;
and
deploying, by the one or more hardware processors, the rule package to the decision service based on the determining whether to update the first version of the RDO specification for the decision service.
