Child elements

SystemName Element for Distributor (ADF)

ThreadPoolSize Element for Distributor (ADF)

QuantumDuration Element for Distributor (ADF)

Remarks

An application can have one distributor on a server. You can define multiple distributors if the SystemName value for each distributor is unique.

Having multiple distributors on a server does not increase distributor performance. If you define multiple distributors for a single server in the application definition file (ADF), Notification Services fails when you create or update the application.

Example

The following example shows the Distributor elements. The distributor is on the server CPANDL, uses a single thread, and uses a distributor quantum period of 30 seconds.

<Distributor>
    <SystemName>CPANDL</SystemName>
    <ThreadPoolSize>1</ThreadPoolSize>
    <QuantumDuration>P0DT00H00M30S</QuantumDuration>
</Distributor>
