If you configured this intermediary node as the cluster controller, your work is done and
the extended node cluster is ready to start receiving and processing batches submitted
by Apple Qmaster.
If, instead, you want the extended nodes to be part of a cluster that includes regular
service nodes, use Apple Qadministrator to add this intermediary node to that cluster.
You add an intermediary node in the same way you add other service nodes, as described
in the Distributed Processing Setup Guide, available in Apple Qmaster Help.
Setting Environment Variables in Apple Qmaster
You may want to set or change an environment variable for submitting certain jobs.

immediately. This gives you an easy way to do things such as setting common directory
paths or plug-in-specific environment variables for Apple Qmaster jobs.
