If roughly 20 parallel print jobs or more are used (depending on the efficiency of the server), we recommend installation of the Worker Services so that computer performance will be distributed among other systems.
Important: When using PostgreSQL as a database system (for the system database), the IP address of the Worker Service system must be stored in the pg_hba.conf file of the PostgreSQL installation before you start installing the Worker Service. For more information, see https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/auth-pg-hba-conf.html.
Tip: combit Report Server must be installed first!
Installation will require administrator rights. The installation program must perform the installation process.
1. Prior to installation, close any applications that are running on the system. During the installation procedure, disable all anti-virus software.
2. Start the installation for the Worker Service on the computer where the Worker Service should be installed.
3. Destination folder: Enter the installation directory.
4. Feature selection: Select "Install Worker Service".
5. The next step will select the configuration file for the Worker Service (WorkerSettings.config). If this file is not yet available, create the file with the help of combit Report Server. The file must be created on the client on which the Worker Service is to be installed. To do this, open the combit Report Server in the browser. Go to the Management > Worker Services pane. Then select "Install Worker Service" to add a new Worker Service. Step 2 of the configuration process will offer the option of downloading the configuration file.
Tip: The downloaded configuration file will contain strictly confidential information that is used to protect the combit Report Server data. Make sure that this file is deleted immediately after it has been used for installation of the Worker Service. Do not create any unnecessary copies of this file. Never send this file by email!
