A service process is the physical representation of a service running on a node. When the Metadata Access Service runs on multiple nodes, the service process can run on each node with the service role. You can configure the service process properties differently for each node.
To configure properties for the Metadata Access Service processes, click the
Processes
view. Select a node to configure properties specific to that node.
The number of running service processes depends on the following ways that you can configure the Metadata Access Service:
Single node
A single service process runs on the node.
Primary and back-up nodes
A service process is enabled on each node. However, only a single process runs at any given time, and the other processes maintain standby status.
When you edit the service process properties, changes take effect when you recycle the Metadata Access Service.
