Engines preferences
Background
A Merge engine merges the template and the data to create Email output, 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.
This page appears in the Designer Window>Preferences dialog. It allows control over Merge
and Weaver (output) engines.

Tasks handled by:
Select how Connect jobs are to be processed. The choices are between:
l
Engines (separate processes):Select to have a number of separate engines (for
Merging and Weaver, as appropriate) to process jobs.
Note
This is the best choice for production environments.
l
Connect Designer (uses less memory):Select to have a single Connect Designer
handle processing.
Note
This option should only really ever be used for low memory, non-production
(testing) environments.
