Configuring and Starting PIMSI Dispatcher

PIMSI Dispatcher runs as a job on a Siebel Server computer. This topic describes how to create and run the PIMSI Dispatcher job and how to configure PIMSI Dispatcher by creating PIMSI Dispatcher user groups. This topic also describes the parameters that affect PIMSI Dispatcher behavior when the PIMSI Engine components stop working and the PIMSI Dispatcher enters recovery mode.

About PIMSI Dispatcher Recovery Mode Parameters

PIMSI Dispatcher runs for a certain amount of time for each dispatching cycle. The amount of execution time is dependent upon your current configuration, for example, the number of active users and the computer configuration.

If PIMSI Engine components stop working, the PIMSI Dispatcher enters recovery mode. In recovery mode, the PIMSI Dispatcher sends a number of requests to the PIMSI Engines to respond. The number of requests that are made is determined by the value of the NotificationFrequency parameter. If the Engines fail to reply after the specified number of response requests are issued, the PIMSI Dispatcher attempts to remove old PIMSI Engine job requests from the server request queue so that synchronization can resume.

When PIMSI Dispatcher enters recovery mode, you can determine how much additional time the PIMSI Dispatcher requires to complete its run by multiplying the value specified for the NotificationFrequency parameter by the value specified for the ReconciliationDuration parameter. The ReconciliationDuration parameter determines how many seconds the PIMSI Dispatcher waits after signalling a PIMSI Engine.

For additional information on the NotificationFrequency and ReconciliationDuration parameters, and on the other parameters that influence PISSI Dispatcher operation, see Tuning SSSE Siebel Profile Parameters.
