5,000 and a job of 7,000 records is already running, then this existing job will
now be considered a Large job.
Scheduling preferences per engine
Scheduling preferences can be applied to the distinct engines used in the Connect production
process. A DataMapper engine extracts data from a data file. A Merge engine merges the
template and the data to create Email and Web 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.
Each of these engines has its own Scheduling Preferences page. These are as follows:
l "DataMapper engine scheduling" below
l "Merge engine scheduling" on page120
l "Weaver engine scheduling" on page124
DataMapper engine scheduling
A DataMapper engine extracts data from a data file. A Merge engine merges the template and
the data to create Email and Web 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 preferences page defines how many Datamapper engine instances are launched on the
machine.
For an explanation of the various engines, the terminology and their settings, see "Engine
configuration" on page108.
For some performance tips, see "Performance considerations" on page27.
