• Instantiate document time: The time required to carry out the dynamic publishing
process.
• Total of rendering process time: The total amount of time spent rendering a project.
• Time required to generate an image of the QuarkXPress document: The time required
for the generation of files that use JPEG, PNG, or any other compressed format.
• Closing QuarkXPress document time: The time required to close a QuarkXPress project.
• Data ready and all sent to client: The difference between the time when all data for the
page return has been processed and is ready to be sent and the time when the last bit of
data is sent to the client.
Server XTensions software can be configured to add module-specific timing entries to the
transaction log.
Check Log Server Events to record QuarkXPress Server events that are not related to error
conditions in the transaction log. Server events include the following:
• Server Started: The date and time at which the server was started.
• Server Stopped: The date and time at which the server was stopped.
• Errors Starting Up: The server records errors, such as issues loading XTensions software,
in the error log. In no-UI mode, errors that cause an alert to display in the console mode
are recorded in the error log.
• Exceptions Caught (Windows only): Any exceptions logged by the server.
• Application exception-type errors: An "exception masked" notice and a code. You can
use this information for troubleshooting.
Check Log Document Problems to include problem descriptions in transaction log files.
Logged problems include the following:
• Missing Fonts: If fonts are missing from a project that has been requested for rendering,
a one-line description of each missing font is added to the error log. If QuarkXPress Server
receives a request to render a project and does not have access to the fonts required by the
project, it uses the font specified in the Fonts tab of the Preferences dialog box (see
"Preferences — Application — Fonts"). If this font is also unavailable, QuarkXPress Server
substitutes Helvetica (Mac OS) or Arial (Windows). This behavior is the same as it is in
QuarkXPress.
• Missing SXTs: If a required server XTensions module is missing when a rendering request
is received, a one-line description of each missing module is added to the error log. If the
name of the missing module is not returnable, the XTensions module ID number is
returned.
• Text Encoding/Character Set Problems: If text is sent to a text box in the template and
the system does not have access to the correct font glyph, the issue is logged. The log data
indicates the character set that the system attempted to convert. For example, the log
entry might show that a request for Japanese characters was sent to an English project.
