Registering the Data Processing Service

Before the Application Server can use a newly installed Data Processing Service (DPS), you must register the DPS with the Application Server. When you register a DPS, the Directory Server verifies a copy of the certificate that is assigned to the DPS host. The certificate is then used to secure communications with the DPS. When you register the DPS, you can also configure the DPS settings.

Note:

The first DPS you register should be assigned to the Load Balancer role.

To register the Data Processing Service

  1. In the System Topology > Map View or System Topology > Grid View, click Register DPS.

  2. In the Data Processing Service Selection panel, select one or more DPS hosts to register.

    Click Next.

  3. In the Site Selection panel, select the site to which the DPS hosts should be assigned. You can use an existing site or create a new site. To create a new site, click Create Site and enter a site name.

    Click Next.

  4. In the Role Selection panel, select the roles to which the DPS should be assigned. You must assign the DPS to at least one role.

    You can also change the port the DPS uses to communicate with the Application Server. The default port is 3993.

    Click Next.

  5. In the Confirm or change the DPS to Use for Synchronizing the Reporting Database panel, select the DPS that should perform synchronization of the reporting database.

    Click Next.

  6. If you selected the DPS Collector role, in the Data Collector Selection panel, select the data collectors that the DPS should use.

    Click Next.

  7. In the Summary panel, click Next.

  8. Do one of the following:

    • If you assigned a DPS to the DPS Collector role, in the Finished panel, click Advanced Settings for registered components.

    • If you did not assign a DPS to the DPS Collector role, in the Finished panel, click Close.

  9. If you clicked Advanced Settings for registered components, in the Categories area of the Component Settings dialog box, configure any DPS Collectors to collect data.

  10. Click the name of the setting to configure.

    Enter any information that is required on the panel.
