how many engines of each type to launch " below.
4.
Click OK or Apply.
It is advised that you do not configure more engines than can be backed by actual processing
power. This adds overhead while not adding processing power.
Deciding how many engines of each type to launch
When jobs run in parallel, different types of engines may run at the same time. It depends on
the usage situation which type of engines has the biggest impact on performance.
The more and the larger operations of a kind need to be performed simultaneously with smaller
operations, the sooner you will see a performance increase when using multiple engines.
Merge engine
Generally, launching a relatively high number of Merge engines results in better performance,
as Merge engines are involved in the creation of output of all kinds (Print, Email and Web) and
because content creation is relatively time-consuming.
DataMapper engine
Adding a DataMapper engine might be useful when large data mapping operations have to run
simultaneously with many smaller jobs, and also:
l When frequently using PDF-based or XML input, especially XML with large individual
records.
l When the All-In-One plugin is used often in Workflow configurations and there are more
than 2 Merge engines running.
Note
The Connect MySQL database needs a fast storage system (SSD or other fast devices)
to be able to keep up with two or more DataMapper engines. When the database is
