Tuning step templates

Tuning a step template lets you specify how much system resource the step requires for processing.

Some step templates installed by features (including document processing features) can only run on the primary server. If your environment includes RICOH ProcessDirector application or secondary servers, you must tune these step templates to run only on the primary server:

  • CreateInserterReprints
  • CreateJobsFromDocuments
  • CreateOrdersFromFile
  • CreateReprints
  • GroupDocuments
  • InsertJobs
  • ReadBarcodeData
  • ReadDocumentsFromDatabase
  • ReadDocumentsFromParent
  • SendInserterControlFile
  • SetDocPropsFromConditions
  • SetInsertProperties
  • SetJobPropsFromOriginal
  • UpdateDocumentsInDatabase
  • WaitForDocumentCompletion
  • WriteDocumentsToDatabase
  • WriteInserterControlFile
  • WritePropsToReportsDatabase

To tune a step template:

  1. Click the Workflow tab.
  2. In the left pane, click Step Templates.
  3. Click the name of the step template that you want to tune.
  4. Click the Tuning tab.
  5. In the Concurrent step limit section, specify where the limits are set for the number of steps created from the step template that can run at the same time.
  6. Click OK.
