l
Local 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.
Best practice is to keep the number of engines equal to the number of cores, to not
overload the machine and negatively affect performance. Do not include the number of
logical processors when running under virtualization.
l
Reserved Count: Read-only box indicating the total number of "Reserved" engines, as
set in the Engine reservations group below.
l
Memory per engine (mb): Specify the maximum amount of random access memory
(RAM) in megabytes that will be used per engine in order to make optimal use of the
machine's memory.
Note
This setting only controls the maximum size of the Java heap memory that an
engine can use; the total amount of memory that will used by an engine is actually a
bit higher.
Also keep in mind that the Connect Server and the operating system itself will need
memory to keep running.
l
Restart after group:
l
Time limit (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 considered sufficient for all our clients.
Only change on the advice of a technical support agent.
l
Memory limit (mb): An engine restart will be performed when the total amount of
memory used by the engine process exceeds the defined maximum.
The default value is 0 megabytes, which means there is no limit.
