l
Always run in background:Thisoptioncorrelateswiththe"Alwaysruninbackground"option
selectableinthe"DocumentBoundariesRefresh"dialogand"PrintviaPrintServer"dialog.
Wheneitherofthesedialogsisusedandtheoptionischecked,itwillalsobecheckedhere.To
preventtherefreshboundariesandprintviaprintserverdialogstoautomaticallyrunasback-
ground,uncheckthisoption.
TheGeneralpreferencesalsoprovidesyouwithbuttonsto:
l

Clean-up Service preferences
TheClean-upServicedefineshowtheConnectdatabaseandthetemporaryfilescreatedduringCon-
nectproductionrunsarecleanedupaftertheproductionrunhasfinished.
AspartofthejobproductionprocessPlanetPressConnectusesadatabaseforintermediatestorage
andalsocreatesvarioustemporary"managed"files.Thesefilesincludedataextractions,configuration
filesandanyintermediatefilescreatedduringtheproductionprocess.Connectkeepstrackofallthese
filesthroughreferencesheldwithintheConnectdatabase.
Allthefilescreatedandthedatabasereferencestothemarestoredforasetamountoftimeinorderto
allowConnecttoreusethem.However,wedonotwanttostoretheseindefinitely,becausethedata-
basewouldrunoutofspace.Thesolutionistousethe"Clean-upService"toremovethetemporary
dataandfilesoncetheyarenolongerneeded.Thisclean-upserviceisusuallymanagedbytheServer
Engine.
Themoreitemsthatarepresentinthedatabase,andthelargertheyare,themoretimeandprocessing
power(CPU)thatwillberequiredforcleaningthemup.ThusaregularClean-upofthedatabase(as
oftenaspossible)isrecommended.
Thisisespeciallythecaseifitemsarenotgoingtoberetrievedfromthedatabaseatalaterdate.i.e.If
theConnectjobisnotgoingtobere-run.
Theclean-upcanalwaysbesettorunoutsideofbusinesshours(seethe"Runaccordingtothecron
