onfiguring QuarkXPress Server for launch
T
o 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
t
his 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
qxpservercore.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 still busy, postpones the
restart until the next interval elapses. Set this value to zero to turn the automatic
restart feature off.
The request timeout at Renderer lets you specify the timeout value for rendering.
It is set to 10 minutes by default.
qxpserver.renderer.request.timeout.name = requestTimeout
qxpserver.renderer.request.timeout.value = 10
To control whether the server should collect performance metrics, set
qxpserver.CollectPerformanceMetrics=true to collect and false to not
collect metrics.
To set the number to transactions after which performance metrics data will be
flushed to file:
qxpserver.CollectPerformanceMetrics.flush.transactioncount =
100
To send JMX notifications when performance metrics change set:
qxpserver.CollectPerformanceMetrics.sendjmxnotifications =
true
Enable this flag to automatically refresh admin ui through JMX notifications
qxpserver.CollectPerformanceMetrics.adminui.autorefresh = true
