Farming / REST / RunAsApplication
Posted: Wed Jan 23, 2019 2:11 pm
Hi there,
as a noob on Network things, can anybody help me setting up my farm correct, please?
Hardware:
1. Scanner-PC. Win10pro 24/7. This one creates .AVI and is connected to the Switch
2. NAS_01. Synology 6.2. This NAS has all Watchfolders and is the home of FFAStrans. Connected to the Switch.
3. Renderer_1 and Renderer_2. Both PC running win10pro 24/7 (they do not restart automatically on new updates). Connected to the Switch.
4. NAS_02. Synology 6.2. This NAS is the destination for all FFAStrans-Outputs. Connected to the Switch.
I start FFAStrans on both Renderers directly from NAS_01.
-------CONFIG-----------
in FFAStrans CONFIGURATION-Window
General:
Global media-cache is set to NAS_01.
Environment is left empty.
Host:
Local host media cache is set to "use global shared media cache"
Web REST service is set to "Run as application"
Resources
is not enabled
----------END CONFIG-------------
with this settings enabled, I have a Farm working. But...
What is REST? What is the advantage to "install as windows service"? What url?
Can I improve stability or workflow by enabling REST? I have no opportunity to set up a second Farm, so experimenting is a no-go... (
I often get "cannot execute exe.manager" or something like that on both renderers (message appears in german - sorry.). Is it possible, that I missed a setting?
Any help appreciated.
regards,
tom
