Adjusting Office Conversion Settings for Optimal Performance

Windows: &nbsp;C:\Prizm\PCCIS\Watchdog\watchdog.config
Linux: &nbsp;/usr/share/prizm/pccis/Watchdog/watchdog.config

Prizm Services use an internal component called Office Conversion Service for converting Office documents, such as Word, PowerPoint and Excel.

To customize Office Conversion Service settings, edit the Watchdog configuration file located in the following default directories:

To achieve optimal performance for document conversion, please consider adjusting values for the following parameters:

Example	Copy Code
"officeConversionService": { ... "officeInstanceCount":4, "threadCount":8, "officePortCount":16, ... },

officeInstanceCount - Represents the number of office document converter processes the service can run. It is recommended to use as many Office conversion instances on the system as there are CPU cores available.
threadCount - Number of working threads created by service to handle document processing requests. Recommended value: 2 * officeInstanceCount. Setting to 1 or values much smaller than officeInstanceCount, may make the service less responsive. Setting to values greater than 2 * officeInstanceCount will not improve performance but will increase resource usage.
officePortCount - Represents the number of ports which can be used internally for communication with the Office Conversion instances. Recommended value: 4 * officeInstanceCount.
