What is the purpose of a RuleApp?

A RuleApp is the fundamental deployment and management unit for the IBM Rule Execution Server (RES). It serves as a container that packages one or more related rulesets, allowing them to be deployed, versioned, and managed as a single, cohesive unit. This packaging simplifies the lifecycle management of business rules, as client applications can call the rulesets contained within the deployed RuleApp.

B. The entry point for clients is a specific ruleset within the RuleApp, not the RuleApp container itself.
C. A RuleApp is designed to contain one or more rulesets, not just a single one, enabling logical grouping.
D. A RuleApp can contain the rulesets for multiple decision operations, making it a management unit, not just a container for a single operation.

You deploy RuleApps to a Rule Execution Server so that client applications can call the rulesets." This section explicitly defines the RuleApp as a "manageable unit."
