On the Services landing page, you can enable the key decision management services, define the connection between the Pega Platform and decision data nodes that store analytical data from a variety of sources, and monitor the state of each service.
Any node that is a part of an outer cluster of the Pega Platform can be a D-Node. The cluster infrastructure detects if there are Pega 7 nodes configured to operate as D-Nodes. The capability of adding D-Nodes to a service is disabled if the nodes are already part of the cluster or if no nodes are configured to be D-Nodes. The Services landing page lists the nodes that can participate in the following Decision Management functional areas:
You can add nodes to each service, display relevant information about the node, and provide the possible actions that can be performed on the node.
