Creating specialized node types for on-premises environments
Determine whether you need specialized node types in addition to the Pega-provided node types. For example, you might want to dedicate a node type to database inquiries.
To add specialized node types, use the -DapplicableNodeTypes
JVM
argument as a master list to specify all node types, both Pega-provided and your specialized node types. The system
only recognizes the node types specified in this argument.
Use the
-DapplicableNodeTypes
JVM argument to specify a
comma-delimited list of node types. This list must be the same across all nodes
in your cluster and must include both all Pega-provided node types as well as your specialized node types:
-DapplicableNodeTypes=NodeTypeA,NodeTypeB
Note: To ensure that all the resources that you associate with node types run
correctly in your production environment, list the same node types in the
-DapplicableNodeTypes
argument when you create clusters
in you development and production systems. As you create these clusters, do
not to include the RunOnAllNodes or Universal or node types in the
-DapplicableNodeTypes
argument.Result: Adding your specialized node types to the
-DapplicableNodeTypes
argument creates the node
type.
