Dispatcher

[selvaganesh]

 Can we have more than one dispatcher for one publish instance ?

From the link http://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/dispatcher.html

While a single Dispatcher will usually be able to saturate the capacity of the available Publish instances, for some rare applications it can make sense to additionally balance the load between two Dispatcher instances. Configurations with multiple Dispatchers need to be considered carefully, since an additional Dispatcher will increase the load on the available Publish instances and can easily decrease performance in most applications.

It's mostly depends on the no of publishers you have accommodated for your application.For my applicaiton 6 publishers and 2 dispatchers.

Hi,

the number of dispatchers is independent from the number of publish instances. My personal recommendation is a 1:1 connection between dispatcher and publish, thus you have always the same number of dispatcher and publish instances. That's my rule of thumb and it worked quite well.
