Messenger plugin preferences

Apart from enabling communication between the various parts of Connect Workflow, the Connect Workflow Messenger also manages local instances of the Connect Workflow Alambic.

The Messenger service uses the SSL 2.3 protocol.

Preferences

• PReS Alambic options group
  • Let me set up how many instances to run: Select this option if you want to limit the number of instances of the Alambic that Connect Workflow can run. Then enter the number of instances, a value ranging from 1 to 32, in the box below. When this option is not selected, Connect Workflow starts a minimum of three instances and a maximum of eight, based on the number of CPUs available on the server. Note that this does affects self-replicating processes. Self-replicating processes will create threads in Connect Workflow service, while Alambic threads are under the PReS Messenger service.
  • Close inactive instances after: If you want the Connect Workflow Messenger to close inactive instances of the Alambic after a given number of minutes, enter a value in this box. Enter a value of ”0” if you do not want the Messenger to terminate idle instances of the Alambic.
• Logging options group
  • Delete log files after: Enter the number of days after which to delete the Messenger service logs. Each log covers a 24-hour period and is kept in the Log folder, which is located in the installation folder.
  • Verbose log: Select this option if you want the log to contain a maximum amount of information.
