Weaver Engines selection: This option is read-only in PrintShop Mail Connect Designer
Preferences.
Select the desired amount of Weaver (Output)Engines.
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.
Adding extra Weaver (Output) engine(s) might be useful when large Print jobs are to be
run simultaneously with smaller Print jobs. However, too many running engines will waste
precious RAM and CPU cycles to idle processes, whilst too few could create a
bottleneck.
Memory
This group is only available if Engines were selected as the processing architecture.
Specify the maximum amount of random access memory (RAM) in megabytes that will be used
per engine in order to make optimal use of the machine's memory.
The selections made here will apply to all Engines of that type.
Note
These settings only control the maximum size of the Java heap memory that an engine
can use; the total amount of memory that will used by an engine is actually a bit higher.
Also keep in mind that the Connect Server and the operating system itself will need
memory to keep running.
By default, each engine is set to use up to a predetermined amount of RAM. To make optimum
use of a machine's capabilities it might be useful to increase the amount of memory that the
various engines can use.
Here are some simple scenarios where you might want to increase an Engine's memory usage:
