Hi @leo.r , the challenge of mounting comes into the game when the previews for tenant A are all processed and now the previews for tenant B should be processed. Then we would mount a volume that is unique per tenant, but for each tenant there is just one specific mount folder (to make sure all the links are valid). So my question regarding mounting is more about: did someone do this already or did someone experience a behaviour with the InDesing Server that will result in problems when the mount is gone and will appear again. I m thinking about caching issues, delays, indexing tasks, etc... With the question 5) if mounting is a good aproach I want to ask for maybe better solutions like API Calls where all assets linked in the document are provided (pre chosen by the script calling the API) as one option I could think about. As we are quite good in scaling and multi-tenant environments we only have little experience with the InDesign server and all problems that could come with it. This is why I m asking here for sharing feedback & experience to not run into stupid and IDS specific issues that we could have sorted out before. Regards, Daniel

Hi All, I need some help in designing a good and reliable multi-tenant InDesign Server architecture: We run a multi-tenant infrastructure with multiple Digital Asset Management instances. No we'd like to add InDesign File processing with this features: * Preview creation (small, medium, large) of the first 300 pages * full text analysis including frame positions (so what text is where on what page) * link analysis including frame positions (so what image / linked ressources is where on what page) Today we have an InDesign Plugin that does all that already. No we d like to do this without user interaction automated in the cloud. Technical situation: Each tenant has ist own logical volume in a Ceph based file storage cluster. Each tenant is aware of when what file changes, so we can trigger preview generation if a new file appears of something changes. Questions we have: 1) What is the best and most reliable OS to run the InDesign Server on 2) Can the InDesing Server reliably run in a virtualized Environment? VMWare or better Proxmox? 3) Is the InDesign Servce License "Premium" the license to go for? Is it limited in terms of parallel server executions? 4) Any good / best practices on how to dynamicly mount the file volumes on the indesign server? 5) is dynamically mounting volumes the right approach as we do not know which links are in the InDesign Document so we have to mount the whole volume 6) Any suggestions for me when planning or processing this? Many thanks for your ideas!

Hi Peter, thanx for your answer. This already looks good. But under which attribute of the pageItem can I later read the set labels? The label itself is only a string...

What is the best way to add additional information to a pageItem? Do i have to use the assiciatedXMLElement or is there any "more nice" way where I can assign real, not XML based objects (parameter) to a pageItem? (Mainly for InDesign) Many thanks, Daniel.
