You can make scripted calls to the Web Console on Windows and Linux to deploy Decision Services. This combined with ability to build and test Decision Services from a script allow you to automate the deployment of your Decision Services. The scripting is a command line utility that makes REST calls to the Web Console to perform actions, and then returns codes that identify success or failure.

Note: If you did not apply a license during the installation of the Corticon Utilities, add a valid license at: C:\Progress\Corticon_Utilities_Work_7.x\license\utilities
Note: you might need to set JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-21

To run the utility, open a command prompt at C:\Progress\Corticon 7.x\Utilities\bin, and then enter Web Console deployment commands in this general format:

corticonWebConsole {command} {command options}

Commands supported in this utility are as follows, where many commands and options allow either their short form or long form, denoted by double dashes:

corticonWebConsole -help



Lists the syntax of the commands.

corticonWebConsole -login

You must first login to the Web Console before the other commands can be applied.



Authenticates the user on the specified Web Console server. No other commands have any effect until this command executes successfully. Choosing to omit the password will prompt for its entry through standard input.

Note: The login command stores an encrypted login token in your work directory so that, when you later perform commands, you can do so without logging in. When using a batch process to perform deployment, you will need to have this login token available in the work directory of the Corticon install used by the batch process.

corticonWebConsole -logout



The logout command closes the connection to the Web Console.

corticonWebConsole -ds


corticonWebConsole -ds -add

The database options (--datasource, --dbaccessmode, and --dbreturnmode) are used when the Decision Service is configured for database connectivity.

Adding --deploy will deploy the specified Decision Service to each Server or Server Group that includes the specified application.

Adding --overwrite to the command will replace a corresponding Decision Service that exists.

corticonWebConsole -ds -delete

Adding --undeploy will undeploy the Decision Service from each Server or Server Group that includes the specified application.
