Node types
Pega Platform provides a set of node types. You can associate these node types with agents, listeners, job schedulers, and queue processors to optimize resources and improve performance.
| Node type | Description | Configuration string |
|---|---|---|
| BackgroundProcessing | Runs the agents, listeners, job schedulers, and queue processors on a background node. |
-DNodeType=BackgroundProcessing
|
| BIX | Runs agents, listeners, job schedulers, and queue processors on a BIX node for BIX jobs. |
-DNodeType=BIX
|
| Search | Runs the agents, listeners, job schedulers, and queue processors on a search node for search jobs. |
-DNodeType=Search
|
| WebUser | Runs the agents, listeners, job schedulers, and queue processors on a web user node for web user jobs. |
-DNodeType=WebUser
|
| Stream | Runs agents, listeners, job schedulers, and queue processors on a Stream node for Stream jobs. | -DNodeType=Stream |
| Universal | Runs all the agents, listeners, job schedulers, and queue processors on that node. |
-DNodeType=Universal |
| Custom1, Custom2, Custom3, Custom4, Custom5 | Additional five node types that can be used for other purposes. Each custom node runs the agents, listeners, job schedulers, and queue processors associated with this node type. |
-DNodeType=Custom1, -DNodeType=Custom2,
-DNodeType=Custom3, -DNodeType=Custom4,
-DNodeType=Custom5
|
| Default | If you do not assign a node type, the system associates this node with the default node types. | -DNodeType=WebUser,BackgroundProcessing,Search,Stream |
