Customizing node types

You can customize the list of node types that are available to use with servers.Customize node types when you want to associate processes with different node types than the default configuration offers.

You can create new node types, and rename or delete existing node types in order to fit the needs of your deployment.

To customize node types:

  1. In a text editor, open the Core.ntypes file.
    The contents should look similar to the following:
    <NodeTypes>
   <NodeType description="Allows a node to participate in HTTP session load balancing" name="web"/>
   <NodeType description="Allows a node to participate in server side processes e.g. object queues" name="batch"/>
   <NodeType description="Allows a node to participate in exchange sync processing" name="exchange"/>
</NodeTypes>
  2. Add, edit, and delete <Node Type> tags to specify your desired node types.
    Note: Ensure that you include a name and description property in each tag.
  3. When you are finished, save your changes to the file.
The list of node types is customized.
Before you can use your modified node types, you must associate them with the desired processes by editing the relevant component files.
