Resource compression
For AFP and Metacode, determines the method that Content Manager OnDemand uses to compress resources.
- LZW12
- Resources are compressed by using a 12-bit LZW algorithm.
- LZW16
- Resources are compressed by using a 16-bit LZW algorithm.
- OD77
- Resources are compressed by using an LZ77 algorithm. The is the recommended compression method for resources that are not already compressed. Content Manager OnDemand compresses the resources before loading them into the system. When a user selects a document for viewing, Content Manager OnDemand sends the compressed resources over the network and decompresses the resources on the client.
- OD77Lite
- OD77Lite can be used to reduce the amount of processing cycles needed to decompress the object. The compression ratio is not as good as OD77. You need to decide which expense to reduce when making the decision about an application's compression type. If processing cycles are expensive and the data compression ratio is not a concern, use OD77Lite. If storage is expensive and you can afford the processing cycles or objects are small, use OD77.
- OD77HW
- If OD77HW is selected, an attempt will be made to use hardware compression. If hardware compression is not available, OD77 will be used instead.
- OD77LiteHW
- If OD77LiteHW is selected, an attempt will be made to use hardware compression. If hardware compression is not available, OD77Lite will be used instead.
- Disable
- Content Manager OnDemand does not compress
the resources. Choose this option when the resources are already compressed.
PDF files are already compressed. The resource compression value in the application is ignored because Content Manager OnDemand always uses Disable as the compression value.
- None
- Content Manager OnDemand does not compress the resources when loading them into the system. When the user selects a document for viewing, Content Manager OnDemand compresses the resources before transmitting them over the network and decompresses them on the client.
