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.
