Manage the PI Integrator Worker Nodes

PI Integrator for Business Analytics provides a Cluster Manager which you can use to view the status of the cluster and to manage the worker nodes. For each node, it displays the following:

• Service Name – Name of the worker node service. The default worker node is named PI Integrator Worker Node 1. Each subsequent worker node is identified with a number, for example, PI Integrator Worker Node 2, PI Integrator Worker Node 3, and so on.

  Note: The PI Integrator Worker Node services are installed with Startup Type set to Manual. The PI Integrator Framework service automatically restarts the service as needed; therefore, it's not necessary for users to restart the service.

• Status – Shows whether the node is up or down. The PI Integrator Framework service will restart the worker node service within one minute.

• Address – A unique identifier used internally that indicates the TCP location for the process. This identifier changes each time the worker node service starts up.

The jobs running on each node are displayed with the following information:

• Job ID – GUID that is assigned to the job

• Job Name – Name of the view

• Job Status – Displays the status of the job, for example, Scheduled, Publishing, Streaming

• Last run time – Timestamp of the last publishing of the view

You can perform the following management tasks:

• As necessary, you can redistribute jobs more evenly across worker nodes by clicking Rebalance Nodes.

• Click on a job to go to the My Views page where you can get more details about the view, including log messages and run statistics.
