Decision campaign deployment on RTDM nodes

ravindrrapaal — Wed, 29 Jul 2020 16:56:54 GMT

Hello ,

I have 4 RTDM nodes on production environment for my decision campaigns.

Just wanted to know, is there any way i can deploy my decision campaigns in one go across all the 4 nodes rather than manually deploying one by one node by selecting from drop down.

Attached are the nodes

This means you actually have 4 Remote Runtime Environments (RRE), rather than 4 nodes in a single environment. This does mean you have to deploy to each RRE independently as you've pointed out. The benefits of this architecture, though, are that you can manage each of those completely independently - upgrading versions, applying hotfixes, etc. This is definitely what I recommend as a best practice. Even the fact that you CAN deploy decision independently to different nodes can be beneficial if you want to test a new decision with only a portion of your audience, for example.

If you want to streamline deployment across all RREs, I suggest looking in to the command line options for deploying decision campaigns so you can set something up to do it all with a single command.

Thanks shill for explaining the current configuration correctly. Can i request you to share the command line sytax for deploying the diagram across all four servers in one go.

There's a section on Command Line Utilities in the RTDM Administrator's Guide that should outline all the pieces. I think there are some examples that ship with the product as well.
