QUARKXPRESS SERVER MANAGER
A GUIDE TO QUARKXPRESS SERVER 2020 | 393
QuarkXPress Server Manager
QuarkXPress Server Manager is a server application that efficiently routes rendering
requests in an environment that uses one or more QuarkXPress Server applications.
QuarkXPress Server Manager uses load-balancing methods to determine which
server in the QuarkXPress Server pool can best process a document request, and uses
caching to improve speed and efficiency. QuarkXPress Server Manager also provides
failsafe capability by reliably resubmitting failed requests, either to the same
QuarkXPress Server instance or to a different one (depending on the error message
returned by the server instance).
QuarkXPress Server does not require QuarkXPress Server Manager, but a
QuarkXPress Server Manager server can coordinate multiple QuarkXPress Server
applications so that they work together with maximum speed, reliability, and
availability.
QuarkXPress Server Manager also provides a Web services interface that allows
developers to use QuarkXPress Server features without having to use the HTTP
interface.
To configure a QuarkXPress Server Manager server application, you must use the
QuarkXPress Server Manager Web client. The topics below explain how the
QuarkXPress Server Manager Web client works and provide examples for using it.
Understanding QuarkXPress Server Manager
Before you begin, take time to review the topics below so that you understand how
this chapter is structured and how you can get the most out of it.
Load balancing
Load balancing ensures that each rendering request is sent to a server that is likely
to be able to handle it quickly. QuarkXPress Server Manager lets you use choose
from three load-balancing settings:
Dynamic Load Balancer: The QuarkXPress Server Manager server considers file •
size and throughput requirements for each request. For example, assume the
following series of requests is sent to QuarkXPress Server Manager in an
environment that uses two QuarkXPress Server instances:
Request Size
1 8MB
2 1MB
