Pega node types
Pega Platform provides a set of default node types. You can associate these node types with agents, listeners, job schedulers, and queue processors.
| 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
|
| 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
|
| Untyped | If a node is not configured with any node type, the node classification feature does not apply to that node. In that case, the node starts with the Untyped node type, the agents run based on the Data Agent Queue configuration for that node, and the listeners associated with a node type do not run. | N/A |
