Error starting up stream node after installing Pega Infinity 24

Hi, I was encountering an error while starting Pega 24.1 (vm based installation). When I was starting Jboss, I got an error related to the Stream Service initialization. I was having only one node of type “Universal”

ERROR - com.pega.pegarules.pub.PRRuntimeException: Startup Task: [INITIALIZE_STREAM_SERVICE] has failed after retries or with error

After searching in Pega community, I got to know that from Infinity 23 onwards, Pega is expecting that it would be using external kafka as default and since I am not using external kafka, I have to explicitly set below setting in prconfig.xml

After setting the above, the node successfully came up.

However, my question is, can I use DSS instead of prconfig to make same change and will it still work? I am planning to add below DSS-

Owning Ruleset: “Pega-Engine”

Setting Purpose: “prconfig/services/stream/provider/default”

Value: “Internal”

Thank you in advance for any comment/suggestion.

@SomnathM0769 you can use DSS to set the stream service provider to “Internal”. However, you need to ensure that this setting is not overridden by a different setting in prconfig.xml. If there is a conflicting setting in prconfig.xml, it will take precedence over the DSS setting.
