The Resource Manager Service is a system service that 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.
You can configure the service to run on multiple nodes. Designate the primary node to run the service. All other nodes are back-up nodes for the service. If the primary node is not available, the service runs on a back-up node.
