AMerge enginemergesthetemplateandthedatatocreateEmailoutput,ortocreateaninter-

mediaryfileforPrintedoutput.TheintermediaryfileisinturnusedbyaWeaver enginetopre-

parethePrintoutput.

Generally,launchingarelativelyhighnumberofMergeenginesresultsinbetterperformance,as

Mergeenginesareinvolvedinthecreationofoutputofallkinds(Print,EmailandWeb)and

becausecontentcreationisrelativelytime-consuming.

Note: TheConnectinstallerautomaticallysetsthenumberofMergeEnginesbasedupon

themachineCPUs/Processors(thenumberofcores)andavailableMemory(RAM).The

defaultsettingwilllikelybeenoughformostusers.

However,virtualmachinescanprovideanexceptiontothis.Insomevirtualenvironments

theConnectinstallercannotaccuratelydeterminethenumberoflogicalcoresactually

availabletothevirtualmachine,andwillthususealessernumberthanthatwhichcould

actuallybesupported.

YoucanconfirmhowmanyMergeenginesarerunningonyourmachinebyrunningTaskMan-

agerandlocatingthemergeengine.exeentriesinyourprocesslist.

NotethattherewillbeanextraMergeandWeaverengineinyourtaskmanagerifyouarerun-

TheMergeengineisresponsibleforthepluginsCreatePrintContent,CreateEmailContentand

CreateWebContent.

LicenserestrictionsonlyapplytotheMergeenginewhencreatingEmailorWebcontent.Theydo

notapplyforCreatePrintContent.Thismeansyouareallowedtostartaninfiniteamountof
