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.
AddingextraWeaver(Output)engine(s)mightbeusefulwhenlargePrintjobsaretoberunsim-
ultaneouslywithsmallerPrintjobs.However,toomanyrunningengineswillwastepreciousRAM
andCPUcyclestoidleprocesses,whilsttoofewcouldcreateabottleneck.
Memory
ThisgroupisonlyavailableifEngineswereselectedastheprocessingarchitecture.
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.
TheselectionsmadeherewillapplytoallEnginesofthattype.
Note: Thesesettingsonlycontrol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.
Bydefault,eachengineissettouseuptoapredeterminedamountofRAM.Tomakeoptimumuseofa
machine'scapabilitiesitmightbeusefultoincreasetheamountofmemorythatthevariousenginescan
use.
HerearesomesimplescenarioswhereyoumightwanttoincreaseanEngine'smemoryusage:
l
DataMapperenginesmayperformbetterwithgreatermemorywhenrunningjobscontainingalot
ofdata.
l
Forcomplextemplateswithalotofpagesperdocument,thereisachancethatMergeengines
willrunbetterwithmorememory.
l
ThemaximummemoryusageofaWeaverenginecanberelevantforjobswithheavygraphics;
orforjobsthatuseCut&Stackimpositioning;orforjobsusingparticularvariablesthatentail
pagebuffering(see"Contentvariables"onpage873).
TheoptionsavailableintheMemorygroupare:
