This gives you, as solution developer or application manager, full control of how to apply a
machines power. For example, you can share the available resources to process multiple jobs
at once or allocate all resources to process one job as fast as possible, or anything in between.
Connect distinguishes 5 type of jobs:
1. Small Print
2. Medium Print
3. Large Print
4. Email
5. Web
Connect categorizes incoming print jobs on the number of records inside it. The boundaries
between a Small to Medium job and Medium to Large job can be configured per server (see
below, "Allocating processing power to jobs" on page118).
There is no distinction between small, medium and large jobs for Email and Web output.
This topic explains all of these settings and the principles behind them, and it provides
guidelines for letting the Server manage the workload in such a way as to achieve the highest
possible output speeds.
Factors to take into account are:
l
Your licence, which imposes a speed quota (see "Speed quota: PPM and speed units"
on the next page).
l
The processing power of your machine. How many cores it has determines how many
engines can be launched (see "Launching multiple engines" on page116).
l The size and number of jobs of one kind that need to be handled, sequentially or
simultaneously. In other words, your use case. By allocating processing power to jobs of
different sizes you can make the setup match your usage situation (see "Allocating
processing power to jobs" on page118).
Tip
Other ways to enhance performance are described in another topic: "Performance
considerations" on page31.
