Is it possible to define your own Node Type?
I know there are five extra Node Type (Custom1, Custom2...) for your own purpose but is it possible to actually name it? "Custom" is not descriptive and it would be better to create new one with descriptive name.
Thanks,

When you use -DapplicableNodeTypes, you will also have to add all of WebUser, BackgroundProcessing, Search, and Stream instead of just defining your own node type. Otherwise Pega throws an error and can't get started. So, JVM option looks like:
-DapplicableNodeTypes=WebUser,BackgroundProcessing,Search,Stream,MyNodeType
-NodeType=MyNodeType
Thanks,
Yes, you can use -DApplicableNodeTypes JVM argument to define your own. I found this Pega client article very detailed: https://myknowpega.com/2020/06/08/nodes-in-pega-2-node-classification/#:~:text=Pega%20personal%20edition%20server%20is,make%20use%20of%20node%20classification.
