A service process is the physical representation of a service running on a node. When the Data Integration Service runs on multiple nodes, a Data Integration 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 Data Integration 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 Data Integration 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.
Grid
A service process runs on each node in the grid that has the service role.
You can edit service process properties such as the HTTP port, result set cache, custom properties, and environment variables. You can change the properties while the Data Integration Service process is running, but you must restart the process for the changed properties to take effect.
