Assigning a role to a Data Processing Service

Each instance of the Data Processing Service (DPS) is assigned to one or more roles. A role controls what tasks the DPS performs.

You can assign a DPS to one or more of the following roles:

DPS Load Balancer
DPS Collector
DPS Evaluator
DPS Reporter

DPS Collectors list the enabled data collectors. Only enabled data collectors have configuration tabs available. If you make changes to the selected data collectors, you must close and reopen the dialog for the changes to take effect.

For information on how to choose which DPS computers to assign to which roles, see the Symantec Control Compliance Suite Planning and Deployment Guide.
