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:
