Setting up normalization

In a server group environment, you need not duplicate the normalization configurations for primary and secondary servers that use the same database. This is because the normalization configurations are saved to the database. The Normalization Engine runs on every server in the group but the normalization jobs are scheduled only on the primary server.

Do not run a batch normalization job simultaneously on the same dataset on the primary and secondary servers to avoid possible errors.
