•
qxpsm_context: Set this value if you need to use it in a custom load balancer.
•
qxpsm_maxtries: This parameter lets you specify a maximum number of retries for
a specific request. If this parameter is absent or set to 0, the global maximum retries
value is used. To disable maximum retries for a request, use the value –1.
•
qxpsm_password: The value of this parameter, if supplied, is used as the "Admin
Password" value when the request is forwarded to a QuarkXPress Server instance.
•
qxpsm_responseasurl: By default, QuarkXPress Server Manager writes responses as
temporary files in the cache folder and returns a URL to the client. This approach
prevents the performance degradation that can result from sending binary data using
SOAP. However, you might want QuarkXPress Server Manager to return the response
directly if you are creating an application that processes that response (simple or
multipart) with its own logic. To make QuarkXPress Server Manager send a response
to the browser rather than the URL of the temporary files in the cache, set this value
to false. (Note that setting this value to false might result in decreased performance.)
•
qxpsm_responseredirect: If you use servlet methodology to send a request to
QuarkXPress Server Manager with qxpsm_responseasurl=true, QuarkXPress Server
Manager returns a frameset page with one or more frames. If the response is not
multipart, the frameset contains a single page with a URL pointing to a response file
in the temporary cache. This can be problematic if, for example, you want to use the
returned URL as an image link in an HTML page. In such situations, submit the request
with both qxpsm_responseredirect=true and qxpsm_responseasurl=true. If
you do this, QuarkXPress Server Manager returns the URL of the rendered file in the
temporary cache instead of returning a frameset page. Note, however, that if the request
results in a multipart response (such as the response returned by the boxes parameter),
QuarkXPress Server Manager ignores the qxpsm_responseredirect=true parameter
and returns the frameset page.
•
qxpsm_servername: By default, the target QuarkXPress Server instance for each request
is determined by the QuarkXPress Server Manager server's load-balancing system. To
send a request to a specific QuarkXPress Server instance, set this parameter to the name
or IP address of that QuarkXPress Server instance. Note that if you use this parameter
with an IP address, you must also submit the port number using the qxpsm_serverport
parameter.
•
qxpsm_serverport: If you use the qxpsm_servername parameter with an IP address,
supply the corresponding port number as this parameter's value.
•
qxpsm_timeout: This parameter lets you specify a timeout (in milliseconds) for a
specific request. If this parameter is absent or set to 0, the global timeout value is used.
To disable timeout for a request, use the value –1.
•
qxpsm_usecache: If you set this value to false, the request will be rendered regardless
of whether it is cached and regardless of whether caching is enabled at the global level.
•
qxpsm_username: The value of this parameter, if supplied, is used as the "Admin User"
value when the request is forwarded to a QuarkXPress Server instance.
•
qxpsm_userpassword: The value of this parameter, if supplied, is used as the "Admin
User" password when the request is forwarded to a QuarkXPress Server instance. Default
value is null, which means no password information. If this is not null, you must also
provide qxpsm_username.
