The easiest way to create a new node is to install a new instance of Lifecycle Query Engine and configure the external data source. Lifecycle Query Engine indexes all the data sources (and vocabularies) that have been configured from any LQE node using the same external data source. Using this method, each new LQE node indexes from the beginning of the TRS; this is referred to as base indexing. This method is not the most efficient way to add new nodes to a system that uses large or older data sources.
