The processes such as transcoding, proxy creation, indexing, etc. take long time and use too much CPU sources. They can be performed by other computers in the network.

2 Add Server : To select a Process Server, press the Add Server button in the Process Server level. In a pop up window all the computers in the network are listed. Browse and select the computer you will use as a Process Server and thenclick the OK button.You can add any machine in the network as a MPS server. The Metus Process Server service must be running on it (Metus Process Server.msi must be installed there). If you need to add more MPS servers (quicker processes as well as running simultaneously more tasks), you can add them the same way as adding MAS servers.

4 Remove : It is used to remove selected Process Server.
5 Connect : Press the Connect button to connect to a MPS server after the network (a possible reason for disconnection) is already available.
No matter how many MPS servers you have added to the system, Metus MAM always lists the local machine as an MPS server, as well. The local MPS could never be deleted from the list. The Local MPS is used when the global (network) MPS server cannot reach the local folder set for the task given to the MPS server.
6 Manage MPS : Select a MPS and press the Manage Server button. A dialog opens. Into it you can see details about tasks proceeding or processed. From the Server drop-down list select the MPS – here are listed all the MPS servers which you have added to the system. For the selected server watch details about either all the projects that the server had served or only of a separate project – select it from Project drop-down list. The info displayed in this dialog can be filtered more – show either the tasks currently running (Job Status = In Progress) or the completed tasks (Job Status = Finished). The Refresh button is used to update the status of the tasks as they are running meanwhile and the status is changing quickly.
