limited. Additionally, you may launch up to 256 engines for Print Content generation, but Email
and Web may only use the number of engines permitted by your license.
Note
Changes made to the following settings will be applied on the run (when the Apply button is
pressed), and do not require the OLConnect_Server service to be restarted.
l
Use one internal engine: Check to limit to a single instance of the server. Useful for
computers that run below the recommended System requirements, or demo machines.
l
Total Engines Available: Read-only box indicating the current number of engines that
are active or available.
l
Engines Launched: Enter the total number of Merge Engines desired on this server.
When changing the number of engines, it is necessary to save this dialog (Apply) to
actually apply the changes.
l
Reserved Count: Read-only box indicating the total number of "Reserved" engines, as
set in the Speed unit reservations area below.
l
Restart After (mins): Due to a currently un-fixable memory leak in some libraries used by
PlanetPress Connect, it is necessary to restart our engines after a certain amount of time.
The default is generally sufficient for all our clients. Only change on the advice of a
technical support agent.
l
Parallel Engines/Speed Units per job: This area determines how many engines and
speed units are used for each job that runs through it. In short, if any specific type of job
has more than one parallel speed unit assigned to it, that many engines will be used to
run each of its jobs. This is in fact a multiplier of speed, however it is a divider of the
number of jobs that can be run simultaneously. You cannot attribute more parallel speed
units than what you have available for any specific type of job, and you require at least
that number of floating speed units, or reservations, for the required parallel speed units
required.
l
Engine reservations:This area is used to reserve engines specifically for certain types of
jobs. Reserved engines cannot be used by any other type of job.
l
Floating: Read-only box indicating the number of floating engines that can be used
for any type of job. This number is equal to the Total Engines Available -
Reservations. For example if 6 engines are launched and 4 are reserved for small
jobs, 2 will be Floating.
