You can create the RulePoint objects in the user interface and save it for later deployment. You can group the objects and deploy them in chunks, or deploy all the objects together. For example, you can combine a source, rule, and responder and deploy the objects as a unit or you can deploy an entire set of objects together.

In a default topology, when you deploy objects, you do not have to map objects to the application services. The grid manager deploys sources in the default source controller, responders in the responder controller, and rules in the event processor. If you plan to configure RulePoint for scalability, you can create multiple services and deploy the objects across the service instances. You can also map the objects to application services that are configured for high availability.

If you configure multiple service controllers and event processors, you have the option to map the object to a specific service controller or event processor. During deployment, the grid manager packages all the objects together along with their dependencies and deploys objects into the respective services in the run time. The grid manager opens the deployment package, retrieves each of the configuration details, and proceeds to deploy the objects into the respective service instances. The grid manager deploys the objects in an orderly manner such that it deploys all the dependent objects first, followed by the primary objects.
