Table Of Contents
Request Timeout: To specify the maximum number of minutes the QuarkXPress Server
Manager server should wait for a response from a QuarkXPress Server instance, enter
a value in this field. When this time has elapsed, the QuarkXPress Server Manager
server retries the request (unless the Max Retries value has been reached).
Connection Timeout: To specify the maximum number of seconds the
QuarkXPress Server Manager server should spend attempting to establish a connection
with a particular QuarkXPress Server instance, enter a value in this field.
Max Connections Per Host: To specify the maximum number of connections the
QuarkXPress Server Manager server should open for a particular QuarkXPress Server
instance before it begins queuing requests, enter a value in this field.
Max Total Connections: To specify the maximum number of connections the
QuarkXPress Server Manager server should open for all hosts before it begins queuing
requests, enter a value in this field.
Ping Interval: To set the amount of time the QuarkXPress Server Manager server
should wait between ping attempts (see "Determining QuarkXPress Server instance
availability"), enter a value in this field.
Ping Type: To indicate whether QuarkXPress Server Manager should use a simple ping
or a ping document to test a QuarkXPress Server instance, choose an option from this
drop-down menu.
Ping Document: To indicate which QuarkXPress project the QuarkXPress Server
Manager server should use for ping document requests, enter the project file name in
this field. Make sure a copy of the project file is in each QuarkXPress Server instance's
document pool. Note that individual QuarkXPress Server instances can override this
this value by providing another document name. Note also that a ping document is
used only if Ping Type is set to Ping Document.
Common Document Pool Usage: Check this box if all managed QuarkXPress Server
instances are using the same document pool. If this box is checked, then upload,
delete, and saveas requests are sent to one of the available servers. If this box is
unchecked, then upload, delete, and saveas requests are sent to all managed servers.
Note that you must manually set each server to point at the common document pool.
Platform-specific Rendering: A QuarkXPress Server Manager server can send requests
that involve Mac OS project files to a Mac OS-based QuarkXPress Server instance, and
send requests that involve Windows project files to a Windows-based
QuarkXPress Server instance. Setting up the server in this manner can be desirable if
the project files involved use fonts that are available on only one platform or the other.
To enable platform-specific rendering for the QuarkXPress Server Manager server,
check this box.
Inactive Host E-mail Notification: To automatically generate an e-mail message when
a QuarkXPress Server instance becomes inactive, check this box. The e-mail message
is sent to the address specified in the SMTP Settings pane.
Saving a server configuration
Changes that you make to a server configuration in the QuarkXPress Server Manager
client are not made to the QuarkXPress Server Manager server until you click Save All
Settings in the Global Settings pane of the QuarkXPress Server Manager interface.
