• The same application preferences (each subrenderer has its own preferences files, but
QuarkXPress Server keeps them synchronized)
• The same document cache in memory
• The same memory cache
• The same server XTensions modules (a separate instance of each XTensions module runs
with each subrenderer)
• The same server document pool (if defined in the QuarkXPress Server preferences or if a
document provider is used in place of the document pool)
If a subrenderer unexpectedly quits, the master QuarkXPress Server restarts the subrenderer
without requiring any action from you.
By default, QuarkXPress Server launches in master-subrenderer mode. You can change this
setting by changing the parameters in the "QuarkXPress Server.config" file. For more
information, see "Launching QuarkXPress Server."
The Keepalive script
A script called the keepalive script can monitor a QuarkXPress Server application and restart
the application if it fails. To use this feature, launch QuarkXPress Server by running the
"keepalive.sh" script (Mac OS) or "keepalive.bat" (Windows) script. Note that the keepalive
script works only if you run it before you launch QuarkXPress Server. You can also manually
restart QuarkXPress Server using this script.
On both platforms, information about unexpected shutdowns (including the error date,
time, code, and description) is stored in an error log file. For more information about
logging, see "Logging (Tab)"
Understanding QuarkXPress Server XTensions software
QuarkXPress Server ships with a collection of XTensions software that adds capabilities to
QuarkXPress Server. For example, PDF Export XTensions software lets QuarkXPress Server
serve content in PDF format; Modifier XTensions software lets you retrieve, manipulate,
and reconstruct XML representations of projects; and QuarkCopyDesk® Renderer XTensions
software lets you create QuarkCopyDesk articles. Telegraph XTensions software works with
QuarkXPress to allow designers to name boxes in template files so that those boxes can
be addressed by URLs.
For more information about XTensions software included with QuarkXPress Server, see
"QuarkXPress Server XTensions software" and "Telegraph XTensions software."
The QuarkXPress Server XTensions API
In addition to the XTensions modules included with QuarkXPress Server, developers can
create custom XTensions software that add features. The complete server XTensions
Application Programming Interface (API) documentation is available in the
QuarkXPress Server XTensions Developer's Kit (XDK).
