Important Notes Performance and Reliability Considerations

To achieve optimal performance and reliable operation of the uProduce server, you are required to install it on a dedicated machine. The uProduce server should not contain any applications that are not essential to the XMPie production. Applications that use IIS and or .NET framework are known to interfere with the proper operation of the uProduce server. An examples of such application includes Microsoft Visual Studio. We strongly recommend excluding non-XMPie software from the uProduce servers. Anti-virus Software 1. Installing and running anti-virus software on the uProduce server environment can cause significant performance degradation and - in some cases - software failures. Therefore, make sure to use a server-based anti-virus product for Windows that is specifically designed for high-performance corporate servers. 2. The uProduce server environment is a closed system (by “closed system” we mean that only uProduce server components are sharing network and file system resources). Therefore, there is no need to install anti-virus software on any uProduce Extension server but only on the Director or Solo server and where the main file system is located (if it’s separated). 3. If you intend to install anti-virus software on the uProduce server environment, make sure to EXCLUDE the following files and folders from being scanned by the anti-virus: » » $:\Temp\ » » %windir%\Temp\ » » C:\inetpub\wwwroot\ » » $:\Users\\AppData\Local\XMPie\
