Directives

Directives are essentially functional roles/responsibilities that you assign to Didact Engine. Each directive has Didact Engine perform different functions in the job orchestration process.

If a directive is not specified in Didact Engine's runtime environment variables, then a Default directive is assigned to Didact Engine.

As stated elsewhere, in order for Didact Engine to run database migrations, it must be assigned the Leader directive.

The possible directive values are shown below:

Name	Explanation
Default	The default directive if one is not specified.
Leader	The directive indicating that Didact Engine is the lead node. This directive will run the database migrations.
