QUARKXPRESS SERVER MANAGER
A Guide to QuarkXPress Server 2017 | 429
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.
