Dispatcher

Dispatcher

The CIO wants to improve the system response of each SAP server, so he is thinking of adding more dispatchers and work processes. He asks you, "How many dispatchers can exist per application server (instance)?".

a) 2
b) 1
c) 8
d) 16

ANSWER: B

Only one dispatcher can exist per application or instance server. On the other hand, many work processes can exist per dispatcher. Also, a physical server can have more than one instance and therefore, more dispatchers.
