Enabling dynamic configuration file support without enabling PXRuntime

You can enable dynamic configuration file support in DataStage® without the need to enable PXRuntime, so you can run jobs with nodes that have highest resources available.

About this task

By enabling dynamic configuration file support on the PXEngine side, you can run jobs with improved performance because pods are dynamically decided based on the availability of resources on them at that time of running the job. So, you can ensure that your job is run by using nodes that have highest resources available.

Procedure

In the file wlm.config.xml set the parameter metricsEnabled to true.

This parameter is set to false by default. Setting the parameter to true enables the collection resource metrics of Workload Manager (WLM), which is used for allocating pods to dynamic nodes.
