Hardware configuration
When processing speed is important, the following is suggested before looking into
Performance Packs to enhance performance (and after addressing the other issues mentioned
in this topic).
l
Antivirus exclusions. Sometimes, virus scanners, other security software or indexing
services can interfere. It can help to disable those kinds of tools for the areas where
Connect stores intermediate files. You could exclude the entire
C:\Users\<connectuser>\Connect folder. See also: "Antivirus Exclusions" on
page17.
l
Use a high-performance, low-latency hard drive. Connect benefits from fast I/O. This is
especially true for DataMapper engines (see "DataMapper engine" on page111).
Preferably use a Solid State Drive (SSD) or similar for storage.
l
Use at least 8+ GB High-Quality RAM. Check memory usage while the Print command is
being executed to see if you need more than the minimum of 8GB. Assuming that the
Connect Server and the Connect database need 1GB each, and that each engine needs
1GB as well, you can roughly estimate how much memory is needed.
l
Consider using a physical machine instead of a virtual machine. When running on a
Virtual Machine, the machine may report that it has sufficient hardware (cores) available,
but in a virtual environment you need to make sure that this hardware is not being shared
with lots of other virtual machines.
l
Consider using hardware with more physical cores. PlanetPress Connect doesn't limit
the number of Merge engines that is used for a Print job, so if the number of physical
cores is low, it makes sense to see if that can be increased. When running on a virtual
machine, this is usually easy. When running on a physical machine, it means that you
may have to switch hardware.
l For both virtual and non-virtual environments, make sure the machine is not busy with all
kinds of other processes.
