Virus protection on this folder and contents may have an impact on the speed of the
whole Connect suite.
l
%USERPROFILE%\Connect\temp: Storage folder for temporary data, usually
intermittent files in multiple folders.
Virus protection on this folder and contents might have a serious impact on the
performance of Connect.
l
%USERPROFILE%\Connect\workspace: Usually containing settings and helper files
and folders.
Virus protection on this folder and contents should not have too much of an impact on the
speed of the whole Connect suite.
Database 1
Depending on the components installed, a database instance is created in a folder called
"connect.database" under the Windows system temp folder. The temp folder is accessible via
the standardized system variable %TMP%.
Usually, folders holding temporary files and folders should be excluded from a virus protection,
because this influences the overall performance of the whole system at all. However the
responsible person for the computer protection has to decide about the monitoring of such
temporary folders following the company guidelines.
Database 2
Another database instance is used by Connect.This is the Connect back-end database. The
path to this folder is stored in the standardized system variable %PROGRAMDATA%. The
Connect back-end database is located in the subfolder "Connect\MySQL".
As this database will be in constant use when Connect is running, virus protection on this folder
and its sub-folders may have a serious impact on the performance of Connect.
Database Considerations
This page describes the different considerations and pre-requisites for the database back-end
used by PrintShop Mail Connect, whether using the MySQL instance provided by the installer,
or pre-existing (external) instance.
Using the MySQL Instance from the Installer
The MySQL Instance provided in the Installation Wizard is already pre-configured with options
to provide the most stable back-end setup.
