The agent can create a default local cluster on the agent machine so that you can begin developing and running advanced functionality on small data sets to test mapping logic.
When you run a mapping in advanced mode using an agent that's not associated with an
advanced configuration
, a default
advanced configuration
is created and associated with the agent. The agent can use the default configuration to create a default local cluster that can process the mapping.
A default
advanced configuration
is created in the following situations:
You run a mapping in advanced mode.
You create a
mapping
task based on a mapping in advanced mode and select a runtime environment.
You preview data in a mapping in advanced mode.
You can view the
advanced configuration
for the default cluster on the
Advanced Clusters
page in Administrator. You can edit the configuration to modify the staging location, log location,
mapping
task timeout, and runtime properties. You can also monitor the default local cluster on the
Advanced Clusters
page in Monitor.
A default
advanced configuration
is not created if the operating system on the agent machine can't host a local cluster. In this case, you need to manually create an
advanced configuration
in Administrator and associate the
advanced configuration
with the runtime environment.
When your organization is ready to run mappings to process production-scale workloads, complete the following tasks:
Set up your cloud environment to host a larger
advanced cluster
.
Create an
advanced configuration
for the cluster.
Edit the default
advanced configuration
and dissociate it from the runtime environment.
Edit the new
advanced configuration
and associate it with the runtime environment.
A larger cluster can also resolve memory and performance issues that developers encounter during testing.
