Disabling a REST or SOAP service on Pega 7 cluster node ?
Colleagues,
Is there a particular way in Pega 7 to disable a REST or SOAP service on a given node ? May be a prconfig settings or similar ?
Context is as follow : while deploying the same application on several cluster nodes with a shared DB, we would like to disable some Http services on Pega nodes deployed in a Semi-Trusted network zone.
Thanks,

Hi Djibril,
If we wanted to disable all the services on a given node, we can remove the entry for PRRestService but if it is only for some few services, then we might need handle as part of service activity.

I don't think there is any OOTB way to limit the REST/SOAP requests to specific nodes in a clustered environment, unless you provide different URL pattern for REST/SOAP request and configure the load balancer to dispatch REST/SOAP request to the right destination based on that special URL pattern.

Thanks for your replies.
It has been helpful.
I confirm that it's not possible out-of-the-box to restrict services unless you restrict ALL services by disabling PRRestService servlet.
Eventually we plan to use a custom access restriction code implemented in the service activity. The service will use the node classification feature where you can flag a node with a classification by updating prconfig.
At runtime, service activity will retrieve the value of dynamic system setting to allow or deny access to the service based on the node value.
Construction is on going.
Thanks again for your inputs.
