Decision Service References from other Decision Services

It is now possible for decision services to reference other decision services. You add decision service references by mapping data into and out of any available decision service’s contract.

This may be helpful:

• On projects where you have a need to combine decision services as part of a broader process. For example, if you have a decision service diagnosing an issue with an IoT device and another decision service determining next steps based on that diagnosis, you could have a decision service that calculates both in a single call based on references to the other two decision services.

• On projects with site-specific parameters. For example, if you have a url that needs to have a different value on a user acceptance testing (UAT) environment to a production environment. That URL could be contained within a decision service that has a different value on your UAT and production Hubs. Other decision services will be able to call that decision service to get the correct value for that environment and can be promoted through to production without needing to be updated themselves.
