How to enable decisioning services Pega 7.4

Hi community

I am trying to enable decisioning services in a production environment, but the “Edit Settings” and “Add Node” button is not enable, is this normal behavior due to production level on environment? Should the nodes be added automatically? How can this configuration be achieved? Im using v7.4.

Any help is greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

The Add node button is disabled by default if you have a Production level greater than 3. This is as per design.

Check the nodes exist in Cluster Management, the nodes need to have a Nodetype - eg DDS/ADM. You can make use of the JVM setting -DNodeType and set the values for DDS, ADM and Real time Data grid nodes accordingly. The values are set as DDS, ADM ,RTDG for the node where you want these services running.

Perform either of the following local-changes:

  • Use the NodeType Java System Property to enable Add Node button. This specifies the services that must start on that node (for example, -DNodeType=DDS,ADM). [Recommended]
  • Save the pyAddEnabled When rule (of Data-Decision-Service class) in the application ruleset. Remove the pyIsProductionNode When rule which evaluates to false.

This is documented in a support article

@MarijeSchillern Thank you for your quick reply!, I will check the node type config in our cluster today.
