Question
stream node
I am new to 8.3 (7.2.1 background) and have a question on nodetypes. The install documentation (Tomcat/Oracle) indicates the following:
Set the node type with the JVM argument: -DNodeType=<node type>.
To support queue processing, Pega Platform requires at least one stream node (node type Universal
or Stream). In a single node cluster, set the node type to Universal, otherwise set the node type to
Stream; for example, -DNodeType=Stream.
We are creating four jvms on four servers (one jvm per server). Will setting the nodetype to Stream on one of those jvms limit that jvm to just stream processing? Will it still handle user interaction, etc.?

Hi Mark,
Dedicating one node ( out of 4 ) to stream node, will have only stream services on this node. It will not cater user interaction.
I suggest you configure PDC ( https://community.pega.com/knowledgebase/products/predictive-diagnostic-cloud) to monitor nodes to see where they are utilized.
