Unable to add a node to the Decision Data Store service (deprecated)

Updated on May 17, 2024

This content applies only to On-premises and Client-managed cloud environments

Note:

Starting in Pega Platform version 8.6, the use of an internal Cassandra database is deprecated. On-premises and client-managed cloud systems that have been updated from earlier versions of Pega Platform can continue to use Cassandra in embedded mode. However, to ensure future compatibility, do not create any new environments using embedded Cassandra.

When adding a node to the Decision Data Store service, the JOIN_FAILED status message displays.

When you add a node to the Decision Data Store service, Pega Platform deploys a Cassandra database on that node. For nodes running the Windows operating system, Cassandra requires that the script execution policy be set to Unrestricted, which permits loading all files and running all scripts. If the execution policy is set to any other level while a node is added to the Decision Data Store, the operation fails and the JOIN_FAILED message is displayed. At the time of the failure, your application logs record a message similar to the following:

  1. In the PowerShell console of the failed node, enter Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
  2. Remove the failed node from the Decision Data Store service:
    1. In the header of Dev Studio, click ConfigureDecisioningInfrastructureServicesDecision Data Store.
    2. In the Decision data store nodes section, locate the node that did not join the service as a result of an incorrect execution policy level.
    3. In the Action column for that node, click ExecuteDecommission.
  3. Add the node back to the Decision Data Store service.
