Improvementsinthewayenginescommunicateinamultithreaded environmentwhichshould

seeareductioninthenumberoftimesanenginefailstoregisterwiththeserver.(SHARED-

Connect2018.2ServerEnhancements

Engine Setup

ThesettingsforthenumberofConnectServerenginestolaunchhasbeenremovedfromthe"Schedul-

ing"settingspage,whichcontrolshowtheenginesareactuallyused.Theyhavebeenmovedintoa

new"EngineSetup"pagethatcontrolshowmanyenginesofeachtypearetobelaunched.Thisalso

simplifiestheSchedulingpreferencespage.

Automatic Engine Restarts

TosafeguardserveravailabilityrestartingtheConnectenginesperiodicallyisrecommended.Pre-

viouslyConnectengineswouldrestartevery8hoursbydefault,andallwouldrestartsimultaneously.

Connect2018.1addedtheabilitytohaveenginesrestartincaseofverybadmemoryusageaswell.

Connect2018.2hasnowintroducedseveralimprovementstoallowfurthercontroloverenginerestarts:

l

Rolling restart

Causesenginestorestartonebyone,insteadofallatonce.Onsystemswithmanyenginesthis

reducestheimpactofrestartsandincreasesengineavailability.

l

Schedule restarts in quiet hours

Insteadofrestartingenginesafteracertainamountoftime,theycannowberestartedduringa

specifiedtimeperiod.Thisallowsenginerestartstobescheduledoutsideofbusinesshours.

Improvements for high workload situations

Onbusysystems,withmanyrequeststothePlanetPressConnectServer(suchashundredsofsim-

ultaneousPDFpreviewrequests),theinternalcommunicationbetweentheConnectServerandthe

enginescannowbesettouseadifferentportfromtheprimaryconnectionport.Thispreventsthe

enginesfrombeingstarvedfromconnectionstotheConnectServeriftheexternalconnectionsarenot

closedfastenough.

Thesesettingsarelocatedonthenew“Connections”pageoftheConnectServerConfiguration.The
