Xpress Executor in FICO Decision Management Platform

FICO Xpress Executor is a component that allows users to deploy optimization as a service within the FICO Decision Management Platform (DMP). The component owner can configure the Xpress Executor component either with a fixed Mosel model, or to accept optimization problems in standard LP or XMPS formats, and the optimizations will be executed asynchronously in response to SOAP or REST webservice requests.

This document assumes that the reader is a registered user of the FICO Analytic Cloud and has access to at least one Xpress Executor component. For general information about DMP solutions, components, lifecycle stages and more, please consult the Decision Management Platform help by clicking the "Help" link on the DMP website. Below are summary definitions of some DMP terminology used in this document, but please consult the DMP help for full information.

• Solution - a named collection of Components and Services.
• Component - a component provides capabilities that can be added to solutions. Components typically expose a UI that can be interacted with directly, or webservices that can be called from an external application.
• Component Lifecycle - a component has three lifecycle stages - design, staging and production. You will edit your configuration in the design stage, submit the configuration to staging for testing, and deploy to production once you are satisfied. There is a different webservice URL for interacting with each lifecycle stage of a component.
• DMP Manager - the web site that allows you to manage your solutions and components.
