Performance considerations
InordertogetthemostoutofPlanetPressConnect,itisimportanttodeterminehowbesttomaximize
performance.ThefollowingguidelineswillbehelpfulinextractingthebestperformancefromPlan-
etPressConnectandtheygivearoughindicationwhenitwouldbeusefultostartlookingintohardware
upgradesorextraPlanetPressConnectPerformancePacks.
Performanceanalysisdetails
Connect'soutputspeedislimitedtoacertainnumberofoutputitems(webpages,emails,orprinted
pages)perminute.Whatthemaximumtotaloutputspeedwillbeisdeterminedbyyourlicenceand
anyadditionalPerformancePacksyoumighthave(see"Speedquota:PagesPerMinute"onpage88).
TogetanindicationoftheactualPrintoutputspeed,outputaPrinttemplatetoaPDForPSfile,using
onesingleWeaverengineandthemaximumtargetspeedperjob(see"ParallelProcessingpref-
erences"onpage95).
Next,openthelogfileoftheWeaverengine.Bydefault,thelogfilesarelocatedinthisfolder:
C:\Users\[username]\Connect\logs\WeaverEngine,where[username]isyourownWin-
dowsusername.
Searchthelogfilefor"PPM"(pagesperminute).Repeatthisafewtimestodeterminetheaverageout-
putspeed.
Likewise,theoutputspeedforanEmailorWebtemplatecanbefoundbyrunningitwithoneMerge
engineandthemaximumtargetspeedperjob.IntheMergeengine'slogfile,searchfor"PPM".
Ifyourjobsarenotrunningatthelicensedspeed,theremaybeseveralwaystoimproveperformance,
asdescribedbelow.Makesuretoaddressallissuesmentionedinthistopicbeforedecidingthatyou
needtoinvest.Notehoweverthatitisnotguaranteedthatthelicensedspeedcanbeachievedwithany
job.Creatingoutputfortemplateswithverycomplexscriptsorcomplexgraphicsresourceswilltakea
certainamountoftime,evenonhigh-endhardware.
Improvingperformancebeyondwhatcanpossiblybereachedbyusingthemethodsdescribedbelow
requirespurchasingeitheraPerformancePack(seePerformancePacks)orupgradingtoPReSCon-
nect.
Foradvicepleasecontactyourlocalsalesoffice(seeObjectifLune'sContactpage).
