How to override batching settings on Tracker machines

Trackers send print jobs to Collectors in batches, in order to reduce load on the network.

The operation of the batching process is configured in Blueprint Administrator at Tracker > Settings > Basic Settings tab; however, these settings can be overridden on an individual Tracker machine by editing the machine's registry. (This may be necessary for diagnosing problems with batching.)

To override batching settings on a Tracker machine, create the following REG_DWORD values on the machine:

HKLM\Software\PharosSystems\OutputManagement\PrintTracker\OverrideMaxBatchSize

This value determines the maximum batch size on the machine, overriding the Maximum Batch Size value set in Blueprint Administrator. It can be set to any number. Set it to a low value for live diagnosis of batching problems.

HKLM\Software\PharosSystems\OutputManagement\PrintTracker\OverrideSendOnBatchSizeReached

This value determines whether or not batches should be sent to the Collector as soon as the maximum batch size is reached, overriding the Send jobs as soon as maximum batch size is reached value in Blueprint Administrator. It can be set to 1 (send batches when maximum size is reached) or 0 (do not send when maximum size is reached). Set it to 1 for live diagnosis of batching problems.
