The Resource Manager Service manages computing resources in the domain and dispatches jobs to achieve optimal performance and scalability. The Resource Manager Service collects information about nodes with the compute role. The service matches job requirements with resource availability to identify the best compute node to run the job.
The Resource Manager Service communicates with compute nodes in a Data Integration Service grid. Enable the Resource Manager Service when you configure a Data Integration Service grid to run jobs in separate remote processes. The Resource Manager Service does not require a license object before you enable the service.
The Resource Manager Service is highly available. High availability enables the Service Manager and the Resource Manager Service to react to network failures and failures of the Resource Manager Service. The Resource Manager Service has the restart and failover high availability feature. If a Resource Manager Service becomes unavailable, the Service Manager can restart the service on the same node or on a back-up node.
