Hi,
We have a requirement to publish almost 9000 Publication objects, but SDL is able to publish maximum three in parallel.
We don't how long would it take for 9000 Publication objects to complete the publication. We are using API to trigger the Publication.
Is there any way we can speed up this process. Help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
PaulGregory
Hi PaulGregory,
Based on "maximum three in parallel" I'm guessing you are on version 2014/11.0.x or earlier... so based on MSMQ/InfoShareConfig.xml
The default configuration of 3 is to protect your system, it is not about limiting you. If I ask you how long it would take to copy 9000 files, you would ask me how big those files are... so how big are your publications (1000 topics per pub, or 20000 topic per pub)? Are they relying on DITA-OT, or other transformation engines?
What is the bottleneck you envision (IO, memory, RAM,...). How is your system currently behaving - underused or already under load?
So unfortunately the only generic answer to offer is
Hope this helps,
Dave
Hi PaulGregory - Dave is right - publishing speed has tons of variables - number of files, cross-references, images, etc. impacts publishing speed.
One thing we have done at FICO is to select "Keep default attributes" in each output format (found in the web UI > Settings > Output Formats > Properties).
Per SDL: This option, when checked, means that the attributes which have fixed defaults in DTD (#FIXED) are added to the XML file when they are exported during publishing. This results in the DTD not needing to be loaded again, since the needed attributes are in the XML document at publish time.
You need to select this for each output format.
I hope this helps!
