Title: problem: one dispatcher doesn't work
Post by: cogtrack on 10 May 2011 08:23:06 PM
environment is 3 server with dispatcher installed on each, server 1 is content manager, load balance using round robin, 1:2:2.
but all the report request been processed on server 1 and 2, server 3 didn't process anything,
from admin portal, I can see 3 dispatchers are all available. why dispatcher 3 did not process any request? Any comments are Welcome.

thank you

Hi there

Where is the gateway sitting and what have you set for the dispatcher list?  Does it contain all 3 servers or only one?
Normally, in the gateway you would only list the primary, secondary and further dispatchers and not the content manager.  Although the content manager as a separate install has an inbuilt dispatcher it is not recommended to include this in the gateway dispatcher list.

Hope this helps
Cheers

The gateway is on separate server(IHS), the gateway contains 3 cognos servers.
actually the server3 is primary dispatcher, gateway traffic first directed to server3 and then distributed to other dispathers.
--thanks a lot
