Pega 7.3.1 - Node Classification
Hi,
I need to classify a node with NodeType "BIX" so bix related agents should run on just this one node. Where do we set this jvm argument? We are running on websphere 8.5. Do we set it as Generic JVM arguments in "Application servers > server1 > Process definition > Java Virtual Machine" or somewhere else?
After setting the node type, I think only other step is to associate the agent with node type. Is this correct or need some further configurations?
Thanks
Hi Sandesh,
Yes to configure a Node to start with a specific Node Type, one has to start the node with, for example, -DNodeType=<BIX>
If a Node has to behave as a combination of multiple Node Types then comma separated values for Node Types can be passed, for example, -DNodeType=<BIX>,<Background>
To effectively use node classification, you must map agents and listeners to node types. You can use the Node Classification landing page, the Agent rule form, and the Listener rule form to manage the associations. On the Node Classification landing page, you can view the list of agents and listeners across the cluster with their associated node types.
If a node is not started with a node type, node classification does not apply on that node, and the node starts with the Untyped node type. Any default associations of agents to node types do not affect the behavior of agents, and the agents run based on the Data Agent Queue configuration for that node. The listeners do not have any default association to node types, but if you mapped them to a node type, they do not run if the node is started with the Untyped node type.
So you are thinking in right way.
Thank you
