Configuring QuarkXPress Server for launch
To configure QuarkXPress Server prior to launch, open the file [QuarkXPress Server
application folder]/conf/ServerApp.properties folder) and modify it as
follows:
To make the server run without loading any network interface, use the -nonetwork
option with the qxpservercore.serverRendererParameters. In this mode, the
only transactions a server can run are those passed to it by another process.
To control whether renderers are monitored, set
qxpservercore.monitorrenderers.value to true or false.
To specify the query interval for monitoring renderers, set
qxpservercore.monitorrenderers.queryinterval.value to a value in seconds.
To specify the number of retries for monitoring renderers, set
qqxpservercore.monitorrenderers.noofretries.value to an integer. If a
renderer process has been attempting to fulfill a request for the specified number of
retries (with the specified query interval in seconds between retries), the renderer
monitor recyles that process.
To control how many renderers the master process launches, specify a number for
qxpserver.subrenders. Note that the number of renderers you can launch depends
on your license.
To force the renderers to restart on a periodic basis, specify a value in hours for
qxps.render.recycle.interval. The default value is 24, or 24 hours. Decimal
values are permitted. Renderers restart serially, so one renderer doesn't restart until
the other is finished restarting. If a renderer is busy, the master process waits for 15
minutes, and then if the renderer is till busy, postpones the restart until the next
interval elapses. Set this value to zero to turn the automatic restart feature off.
Launching QuarkXPress Server
On Windows, you can install QuarkXPress Server as an application or as a service
(Quark recommends that you always run it as a service). On Mac OS, QuarkXPress
Server always runs as an application.
If you install QuarkXPress Server on Windows as an application, you can launch it
using the Start menu or by double-clicking the "ServerStartup.bat" in the QuarkXPress
Server application folder.
If you want to launch QuarkXPress Server as an application on Windows Server 2008
Quark recommends executing "ServerStartup.bat" as an administrator.
