Assign a Worker to Run Services
The FlexRule Server enables assigning specific services to a worker. To assign services to a Worker, navigate to the Services tab, which displays all the services available on your server. By default, a Worker is granted access to run all services.
To customize this, you can uncheck the “Compatible with All Services” option and select the specific services you wish to assign. After making these changes, the Worker will be restricted to running only the selected services and will not have access to others.

DMN Compatibility
To run packages related to DMN models, users must specify a Worker that supports the DMN compatibility feature. To grant the Worker access to run DMN packages, the user needs to tick the option on the Edit page.
Packages with DMN compatibility must use Workers configured for DMN compatibility. Conversely, packages without DMN compatibility must operate with Workers that disable the DMN compatibility feature.
