Covered Topics
  • The Model
    FICO® Xpress Insight executes the model by sending it as a job to an Xpress Insight worker.
  • The App
    The implementation of a FICO® Xpress Insight app is structured as a zip archive which can be uploaded into the Xpress Insight server.
  • Mosel Execution Modes
    Every app is assigned (and must implement behavior for) two standard execution modes:
  • Configuration with Annotations
    Annotations provide a way of including metadata in the model to configure the way in which the model and its entities are manipulated by the system.
  • Using Attachments
    Attachments are files that are attached to an individual scenario or the app itself and are accessible to the end user for upload, download and editing. The web client provides a user interface for end users to interact with file attachments.
  • Development Workflow
    Xpress Insight offers several tools to help implement a development workflow.
