Note
This does not limit the number of requests that can be received, just how
many are processed in parallel. Additional requests are buffered and are
processed as capabilities allow.
The default setting is twice the number of processing cores available to the
computer. This can be expanded, if the limitation is deemed a bottleneck.
l
Dedicated Internal Connection checkbox:
Set the internal connection HTTPcommunication setting values. These settings are
purely for Connect inter-engine communication.
If used, local security settings (including firewalls) must be taken into consideration.
l

Primary connection port number.
l
Maximum threads:Sets the maximum number of HTTPthreads for processing
requests.
This entry should only be changed in consultation with OL.

This entry should only be changed in consultation with OL.
Engine configuration
The Connect Server cooperates with different engines to handle specific tasks. A DataMapper
engine extracts data from a data file.A Merge engine merges the template and the data to
create Email and Weboutput, or to create an intermediary file for Printed output. The
intermediary file is in turn used by a Weaver engine to prepare the Print output. (For more
information see:"Connect: a peek under the hood" on page146).
Settings for these engines are made in the Connect Server Configuration tool (see "Server
Configuration Settings" on page111). These 'Scheduling Preferences' allow you to control
precisely how the PlanetPress Connect Connect Server handles jobs.
Connect allows for the parallelization of jobs. This means you can allocate 1 or more engines
to process jobs. The number of each type of engine is configurable, as well as the amount of
engines than can work together on the same job (determined by job size:small, medium or
large) and at what maximum speed.
