Manage Dispatcher requests using filters

You can manage Dispatcher requests using Dispatcher filters. The following are the main types of available filters. Other filter types are also supported. For more information, see the Filters section in DispatcherRoot\DispatcherClient\conf\service.properties. Filter type Description TranslatorFilter Filters out all Dispatcher requests without one of the specified provider or translator name pairs. Translator properties are specified as comma separated values. PriorityFilter The Dispatcher client processes all Dispatcher requests with the specified translators. Translator properties are specified as comma separated values of provider and translator name. TranslationArgsFilter Processes Dispatcher requests only if the specified translation arguments are available. For information about customizing filters, see What are filter classes? Example: In this example, the TranslatorFilter is used. You can edit the Filters section in DispatcherRoot\DispatcherClient\conf\service.properties to specify these values. Example for Dispatcher Client1 (Machine2 and Machine3): Copy Service.Filters=TranslatorFilter Service.TranslatorFilter.Provider=SIEMENS,SIEMENS,SIEMENS Service.TranslatorFilter.Translator=Translator1,Translator2,Translator3 In this example, the TranslatorFilter is applied and only Dispatcher requests intended for the SIEMENS Translator1, SIEMENS Translator2, and SIEMENS Translator3 services are processed for Machine2 and Machine3. Both these machines share Dispatcher Client1. Example for Dispatcher Client2 (Machine4 and Machine5): Copy Service.Filters=TranslatorFilter Service.TranslatorFilter.Provider=SIEMENS,SIEMENS,SIEMENS,SIEMENS Service.TranslatorFilter.Translator=Translator2,Translator4,Translator5, Translator6 In this example, the TranslatorFilter is applied and only Dispatcher requests intended for the SIEMENS Translator2, SIEMENS Translator4, SIEMENS Translator5, and SIEMENS Translator6 services are processed for Machine4 and Machine5. Both these machines share Dispatcher Client2. Example for Dispatcher Client3 and Dispatcher Client4 (Machine6): Copy Service.Filters=TranslatorFilter Service.TranslatorFilter.Provider=SIEMENS,SIEMENS,SIEMENS,SIEMENS,SIEMENS Service.TranslatorFilter.Translator=Translator2,Translator7,Translator8,Translator9,Translator10 In this example, the TranslatorFilter is applied and only Dispatcher requests intended for the SIEMENS Translator2, SIEMENS Translator7, SIEMENS Translator8, SIEMENS Translator9, and SIEMENS Translator10 services are processed for Machine6.
