Before you can complete this procedure, the AX Server Data directory must be configured to use a shared folder. If it is not configured, a message is displayed in the Add Engine Node panel, and you are prevented from accessing the controls to add an AX Engine Node server. For more information, see Configuring a shared data folder.
Note
Before adding an AX Engine Node in the AX Server Configuration web application, make sure the engine node is running on the server where it is installed.
In Windows Services, make sure ACL Analytics Exchange Service has a status of Running. If necessary, start the service.
- Sign in to the AX Server Configuration web application and locate the Engine Nodes panel.
- In the Add Engine Node panel, enter the following information:
- New Engine Node IP address or computer name: the hostname or IP address of the server where the AX Engine Node is installed
- Jobs (max): the maximum number of analytic jobs that the engine node can process at one time
Note
Jobs are queued until the number of concurrently running jobs falls below the maximum.
- Click Add Engine Node.
- Click Update Engine Node Settings.
Result: The AX Engine Node is now used to process analytics. If it is the first AX Engine Node, processing is transferred from AX Server to the new node.
If you add multiple instances of AX Engine Node, scheduled jobs are distributed among the instances.
