Failover for Multiple Dispatchers

In a distributed IBM® Cognos® software installation, you can configure each of your gateway components to communicate with more than one dispatcher for failover purposes.

The gateway components scan their associated dispatchers to ensure that requests are routed to dispatchers that are in service and responding correctly. You can set the frequency with which these scans are executed.

For information about configuring multiple dispatcher, see the "Configuring Gateway Computers" topic in the IBM Cognos Business Intelligence Installation and Configuration Guide.
