Supported Node Roles

Supported Node Roles

When a Data Integration Service grid runs jobs in separate remote processes, the nodes in the grid can contain the service role only, the compute role only, or both the service and compute roles.
A Data Integration Service grid that runs jobs in separate remote processes can contain nodes with the following roles:
Service role
A Data Integration Service process runs on each node with the service role. Service components within the Data Integration Service process run workflows and profiles, and perform mapping optimization and compilation.
Compute role
DTM processes run on each node with the compute role. The DTM processes run deployed mappings, mappings run by Mapping tasks within a workflow, and mappings converted from a profile.
Both service and compute roles
A Data Integration Service process and DTM processes run on each node with both the service and compute roles. At least one node with both service and compute roles is required to run ad hoc jobs, with the exception of profiles.
Ad hoc jobs include mappings run from the Developer tool or previews, scorecards, or drill downs on profile results run from the Developer tool or Analyst tool.
The Data Integration Service runs these job types in separate DTM processes on the local node.
In addition, nodes with both roles can complete all of the tasks that a node with the service role only or a node with the compute role only can complete. For example, a workflow can run on a node with the service role only or on a node with both the service and compute roles. A deployed mapping can run on a node with the compute role only or on a node with both the service and compute roles.
The following table lists the job types that run on nodes based on the node role:

If you associate a Content Management Service with the Data Integration Service to run mappings that read reference data, each node in the grid must have both the service and compute roles.
