Configuring the Adaptive Decision Manager service

You must configure the Adaptive Decision Manager (ADM) service to create and run ADM models which develop knowledge about customer preferences through their interactions in real-time.

1. Click Designer Studio > Decisioning > Infrastructure > Services > Adaptive Decision Manager.
2. Add a node:
   1. Click Add node.
   2. In the window that is displayed, select the check box for the decision data node on which you wish to add the ADM service.
   3. Click Submit.
   4. Refresh the landing page until the status of the node changes to NORMAL.

   Note: You need at least one decision data store node to run the ADM service. If you add an ADM node and no nodes are on the Decision Data Store tab of the Services landing page, a node is automatically added on that tab to support running the ADM service. You can configure only one ADM service node.

3. Click Edit settings to configure the default settings of the ADM service:
   • Data mart settings

     The ADM data mart is populated by periodically triggering the ADMSnapshot agent that runs the activity (pzGetAllModelDetails) that captures the state of models, predictors, and predictor binning.

     • Configure the adaptive model data storage preferences by selecting one of the following options:
       • With every update – Keeps all snapshots of ADM models. This option is required when leveraging model snapshots for time-based reporting (for example, trend detection).
       • With most recent update – Keeps only the most recent snapshot of ADM models.
     • Configure the predictor binning storage preferences by selecting one of the following options:
       • With most recent update – Keeps only the most recent snapshot of the predictor binning state.
       • None – Disables capturing the state of predictor binning.
       • With every update Keeps all snapshots of the predictor binning state.
   • Adaptive models update frequency

     In the Models section, enter the frequency for updating adaptive management models in seconds, minutes, or hours.
   • Failsafe mechanism

     Select the Enable failsafe mechanism check box to enable the mechanism that prevents the loss of certain ADM-related events in case of service unavailability.
   • Agent schedule

     Click Edit agent schedule to modify the default agent schedule configuration of the Pega-DecisionEngine agents:

     • UpdateAdaptiveModels - Enabled by default
     • ProcessBatchJob - Disabled by default
     • ADMSnapshot - Disabled by default
     • InitializeDSMFeatureToggles - Enabled by default
     • StartDSMServices - Enabled by default
4. Optional:  Display the details of the ADM node by clicking the row for that node. You can view the node ID, total number of adaptive models on the node, number of active models, and the number of processed responses.
5. Optional: Manage the ADM service node by selecting an action from the Execute menu.
