Starting the Batch Processing Queue on Windows
When you launch a Harmony module, there are functions that applications perform in the background that you generally do not see. Two of these functions are as follows:
• | tbprocess: Manages requests for batch processing of vectorized drawings or rendered scenes. |
When you ran the Harmony Configuration Wizard, you had the option of having batch processing on your system. If you selected the Yes option and you have a valid license, the tbprocess starter is ready to run; otherwise, you cannot perform batch processing on Harmony.
• | tbdbserver: When you have a Server/Standalone configuration, the tbdbserver controls the entries that you make to the Harmony database (like adding new scenes to a job). |
When you run the Toon Boom Harmony Configuration Wizard, it automatically configures your system to launch the tbdbserver, so you do not need to configure anything else.
