Apart from enabling communication between the various parts of PlanetPress Suite, the PlanetPress Suite Messenger also man-
ages local instances of the PlanetPress Suite Alambic.
The available Messenger user options are as follows:
l PlanetPress Alambic options group
l Let me set up how many instances to run: Select this option if you want to limit the number of instances
of the Alambic that PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools can run. Then enter the number of instances, a value rang-
ing from 1 to 32, in the box below. When this option is not selected, PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools starts a
minimum of three instances and a maximum of eight, based on the number of CPUs available on the server.
Note that this does affects self-replicating processes. Self-replicating processes will create threads in the Plan-
etPress Workflow service, while Alambic threads are under the PlanetPress Messenger service.
l Close inactive instances after: If you want the PlanetPress Suite Messenger to close inactive instances of
the Alambic after a given number of minutes, enter a value in this box. Enter a value of ”0” if you do not want the
PlanetPress Suite Messenger to terminate idle instances of the Alambic.
l Logging options group

ice logs. Each log covers a 24-hour period and is kept in the Log folder, which is located in the PlanetPress Suite
installation folder.
