In this tutorial, we are going to add a new package to your FlexRule Server. We will upload the sample decision package and enable the status of the uploaded package.
A package can be uploaded in two ways.
- Directly from the Designer
- Upload a package file (.frdp)

Decision Scenario
This tutorial is based on one of our default sample projects, Car-Insurance-Sample.
This is a car insurance premium calculator based on two inputs:
- Input from operator/user about their cat information
- Input from a database for a list of high-risk cars
Prerequisites
Database preparation
Follow the instruction at Car-Insurance-Sample and prepare your database, tables, and sample records.
Download Decision Module Package
Download the decision package using the attachment (car-insurance-sample-package.zip) at the end of this page.
FlexRule Server
Make sure you have FlexRule Server installed and configured.
Run FlexRule Server
Run your FlexRule Server as in the console mode and open the FlexRule Workbench application in your browser.
Get It Started
Login to the Workbench as Admin
Using the admin user account and the password you had set during configuration log in to Workbench. When you are logged in you will see the following page
Upload Package
Then from the left side navigation menu, select Execution Server and then choose Packages.

As you can see in the package list (Execution Server --> Packages), the status of the newly uploaded package is “off”
You can also toggle between on and off using the status button or select the action and choose “Start” like below
Now if you have a look at your package list, the status has changed to “on” 
and you can see the following notification message
