2.3.3 Calculating Timeouts

As content is processed by a refinery, it is allotted a certain amount of processing time based on the size of the file and the settings on the Timeout Settings Page . The timeout value, in minutes, is calculated in the following manner: timeout value [in minutes] = [file size in bytes] x timeout factor 60,000 In order to determine what file to use, Inbound Refinery first looks to see if the previous step produced a file, and if so that file is used in the timeout calculations. Otherwise, the native file is used. If the previous step outputted more than one file for example, Excel to PostScript, the sum of the file sizes is used. The content item to be processed is allotted at least the number of minutes indicated in the Minimum column, but no more minutes than indicated in the Maximum column. If the calculated timeout value is lower than the minimum value, the minimum value applies. If the calculated timeout value is larger than the maximum value, the maximum value applies.

2.3.3.1 Timeout Calculations

The following examples show how timeouts are calculated: ■ Example 1 File size = 10 MB 10485760 bytes or 10240 KB Minimum = 2 Maximum = 10 Factor = 3 Calculated Timeout = 10485760 3 60000 = 524.288 minutes = 8.74 hours In this case, Inbound Refinery will wait only the maximum of 10 minutes. ■ Example 2 File size = 200 KB 204800 bytes Minimum = 2 Maximum = 30 Factor = 2 Calculated Timeout = 204800 2 60000 = 6.83 minutes In this case, Inbound Refinery will wait only the calculated 6.83 minutes and not the Maximum of 30 minutes. ■ Example 3 File size = 50 KB 51200 bytes Minimum = 2 Maximum = 30 Factor = 2 Calculated Timeout = 51200 2 60000 = 1.71 minutes In this case, Inbound Refinery will wait the minimum of 2 minutes and not the calculated timeout or the Maximum of 30 minutes

2.3.4 Setting Accepted Conversions

To set the conversions that the refinery will accept and queue maximums, complete the following steps: Managing Conversions 2-23 1. Log into the refinery.

2. Select Conversion Settings, Conversion Listing. The

Conversion Listing Page is displayed. 3. Set the total number of conversion jobs that are allowed to be queued by the refinery. The default is 0 unlimited. 4. Enter the maximum number of conversions allowed to wait for pick up by a content server before Inbound Refinery will no longer accept conversion jobs from that content server. The default is 1000. 5. Enter the number of seconds that the refinery should be considered busy when the maximum number of conversions has been reached. The default is 120 seconds. When the maximum number of conversion jobs for the refinery has been reached, content servers will wait this amount of time before attempting to communicate with the refinery again. 6. Enter the maximum number of conversions that the refinery should process at the same time. The default is 5. 7. Select the check box for each conversion that you want the refinery to accept. ■ By default, all conversions are selected and will be accepted. ■ To select all conversions, select the Accept check box in the column heading. ■ To clear all conversions, clear the Accept check box in the column heading. 8. Set the maximum number of jobs across all refinery queues for each conversion type. The default is 0 unlimited.

9. Click Update to save your changes.

10. Restart each content server that is an agent to the refinery to effect your changes in the content server’s queuing immediately. Otherwise, the changes in refinery’s accepted conversions will not be known to the content server until the next time it polls the refinery. For additional details about using content server and refinery settings to manage conversion queues, see Managing Refinery Conversion Queues on page 2-31.

2.3.5 Setting Multi-Page TIFF Files as the Primary Web-Viewable Rendition

Inbound Refinery includes Outside In Image Export, which enables you to convert files to multi-page TIFF files as the primary web-viewable rendition. This enables users to view the files through standard web browsers with a TIFF viewer plugin. Other conversion options, such as PDF Export, enable you to create other types of renditions as the primary web-viewable rendition. When conversion options that can generate a web-viewable rendition are enabled, additional options for the options are available. To set multi-page TIFF files as the primary web-viewable rendition that the refinery will generate, complete the following steps:

1. Log into the refinery.

Important: The Ichitaro and LegacyCustom conversions are not supported for this version of Inbound Refinery. 2-24 Administrators Guide for Conversion

2. Select Conversion Settings, Primary Web Rendition. The

Primary Web-Viewable Rendition Page is displayed.

3. Select Convert to multi-page Tiff using Outside In to convert files to multipage

TIFF files as the primary web-viewable rendition.

4. Click Update to save your changes.
