Internal communication

These preferences configure advanced settings related to the communication between Switch application components. Do not change these settings unless you understand why you need to change them.

Property

Description

Server name

The name of this instance of the Switch server as it is displayed to users of SwitchClient.

Port for Switch designer

The port used for communication between Switch server and Switch flow designer, in the range of 49152 to 65535.

Port for SwitchClient

The port used for communication between Switch server and SwitchClient instances, in the range of 49152 to 65535.

Secure SwitchClient communication

If set to yes, communication with SwitchClient instances uses the secure https protocol; using the secure protocol introduces a performance overhead of approximately 20%

If set to no (the default), regular http is used instead

Compress client jobs

If set to yes (the default), jobs transferred from and to SwitchClient instances are compressed (higher processing time and lower bandwidth consumption)

If set to no, jobs are not compressed (lower processing time and higher bandwidth consumption); this is meaningful for high-speed local networks
