Why use Dispatcher?

Dispatcher comprises the integration of two components: Dispatcher Server and Teamcenter. Dispatcher enables Teamcenter users to manage job distribution and execution. With Dispatcher, you can: Asynchronously distribute jobs to machines with the resource capacity to execute the job. (The jobs can also be done in a synchronous manner on the local client machines, but this can introduce performance and administration issues based on the job load.) Reduce server load by distributing resource-intensive activities. Schedule high-CPU or high-memory jobs for off-hours processing. Get a grid technology solution to manage the job distribution, communication, execution, security, and error handling. You can scale and customize the Dispatcher system to meet specific site requirements. Dispatcher is used to translate data files that are managed by Teamcenter to 3D or 2D file formats. You can: View, edit, and mark up data without requiring the original data’s authoring tool. Share the data with other companies without distributing the original raw data (such as CAD and MS Office). Generate a lightweight data format known as visualization data. The visualization data can be attached along with the raw data and can be viewed by Teamcenter viewers or by third-party applications capable of reading and displaying the format.
