Load Node Level data page during Pega Node Startup
I have seen some posts around this subject but none of them did answer our question.
Our Pega Application hosts an API service that is heavily called the moment that a node has started up. This API uses a node level data page containing lots of data, so this takes around 30 seconds to load an a node. As a result the first couple of API calls will time out because of this load.
We want to make sure that a node only becomes available for the load balancer once this data is loaded. How can we do that? So we want to add the node level data page loading as a startup task of the node.
Note there will not be any user login to this node, so activities like ApplicationProfileSetUp will not help us here.
