Configure a Precisely Agent pipeline engine to run quality pipelines on-premises. This is useful when you work with local databases that cannot access cloud environments or when you want to run pipelines within a JDBC Agent-enabled private environment.
Before you configure a Precisely Agent pipeline engine, ensure that you have set up your Agent and configured it properly.
When you configure a Precisely Agent pipeline engine, you specify the agent, driver memory, executor settings, and optional Spark properties to optimize performance for your on-premises workloads.
Suggested Spark properties to reduce disk usage
Consider implementing the following Spark properties to help minimize disk requirements during on-premises agent profile executions:
spark.shuffle.compress: Set totruespark.shuffle.spill.compress: Set totruespark.io.compression.codec: Usezstdspark.io.compression.zstd.level: Set to3
Enabling these properties ensures that data written to disk during Spark jobs is compressed, effectively reducing overall disk usage.
