How many Spool processes are required in each system
At least one but more than one can be configured
How many update processes are required in each system
At least one but more than one can be configured
How many background processes are required in each system
At least one but, if you will be doing transports in the system you need at least 2. More than this can be configured
How many enqueue processes are required in each system
At least one but more than one can be configured provided they are all on the same instance
So think of it like this, all enqueue processes must be attached to the same dispatcher, but that dispatcher can have more than one enqueue process
What 4 min things does the dispatcher do?
Distributes the requests among the work processes
Integrates the presentation layer
Organizes communication activities
Processes the requests on a first in/first out basis
