Test FlexRule Server with a Sample Project

1. In your local machine, install FlexRule Designer

2. Deploy a project using the Package Builder

For instance, you can try the Delivery Cost Calculator example.

When building the package,

• Server address: Use the masterAddress we defined under Workbench Setup. In our example, it is http://flexruleserver.australiaeast.cloudapp.azure.com:9000.
• User Account: admin
• Password: the password that you defined during the Default Account setting in FlexRule Server Master configuration
• Select Grant the package ownership to the current login, Enable the package, and Grant the below applications ownership for execution
• Applications Login: app1

Test with Postman

1. Once you deploy the example, you can see it as a service under Execution Server –> Services.

2. Change the Client Secret to the App1 password that you defined during the Default Account setting in FlexRule Server Master configuration.

Type the input JSON.

 [
  {
    Name: "car",
    Value: {
      Airbags: "Driver, FrontPassenger",
      ModelYear: 2007,
      Made: "Hyundai",
      Model: "IX35",
      Style: "Sedan"
    }
  }
 ]

If your input parameter is a JSON, but you have not specified a type in your deployed project, you must use Type: "json" in the input JSON.

e.g.
[
{
Name: “InputJson”,
Type: “json”
Value: {
……

3. Check step-by-step guide to test in Postman.

At the end, you will be able to see the output as follows.

For example,

URL: http://frs-test.eastus.cloudapp.azure.com:9000//api/services/execute/car_insurance/2/Car_Flow

Request:

{ 
  "inputs": [
  {
    "Name": "car",
    "Value": {
      "Airbags": "Driver, FrontPassenger",
     "ModelYear": 2007,
      "Made": "Hyundai",
      "Model": "IX35",
      "Style": "Sedan"
    }
  }
 ]
}

Output:

"outputs": [
  {
     "name": "car",
     "value": " 
{\"Model\":\"IX35\",\"Price\":0.0,\"BasePremium\":400.0,\"AutoPremium\":1450.0,\"Style\":\"Sedan\",\"ModelYear\":2007,\"HasRollBar\":false,\"Convertible\":false,\"Age\":0,\"HasMedicalCoverage\":false,\"UninsuredMotoristCoverage\":false,\"OccupantInjuryCategory\":\"Moderate\",\"TheftCategory\":\"High\",\"Airbags\":\"Driver, FrontPassenger\",\"Made\":\"Hyundai\"}"
   },
   {
     "name": "isValid",
     "value": "true"
   },
   {
     "name": "probList",
     "value": "[\"Honda-CR-Z\",\"BMW-E63\",\"Ford-Pickup\",\"Austin-Mini\",\"Hyundai-Tucson\",\"Aprila-RS250\",\"Suzuki-RGV250\",\"Yamaha-TZR250\",\"Hyundai-IX35\",\"Honda-Passport\",\"Honda-CRF250l\",\"Kawasaki-KR1\",\"Suzuki-RMX450Z\"]"
   }
