Dispatcher components

Dispatcher Client This component provides the framework to extract and load data to Teamcenter. It provides the communication mechanism to use the other Dispatcher Server components. Scheduler This component manages the distribution of translation requests across modules. Translation tasks are submitted to the scheduler by Teamcenter via RMI communication. The scheduler tracks which modules are available and the translators available with each module. It uses this information to distribute the translation tasks to keep each module running to its maximum capacity. The scheduler is a Java™-based RMI application. It comprises exposed interfaces used by the Dispatcher Client to send and receive information about Dispatcher requests. The scheduler communicates with the module using RMI. Module This component is used for sending tasks to specific translators required for the translation tasks. It provides the infrastructure for a common way to plug in and execute any translator and support the various command line options, parameters, and configuration files unique to each translator. The module is a Java-based RMI application. It has exposed RMI interfaces used by the scheduler to send and receive information about translation requests. Translators The translators used in the Dispatcher system are a combination of translators developed by Siemens Digital Industries Software and those developed by a third party. Translators can be driven by the Dispatcher system to use specific configuration files or parameters to support translation-specific behavior. Dispatcher request administration console This component manages and monitors the status of a task submitted for translation. You can use the Dispatcher request administration console in the rich client to: View all translation requests. Resubmit a translation request for processing. Delete a translation request.
