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 a populated Distributors node. One distributor is on the server THORFINN, uses a single thread, and uses a distributor quantum period of 30 seconds. The other distributor is on the server BIFROST, uses three threads, and uses a distributor quantum period of 15 seconds.
<Distributors>
<Distributor>
<SystemName>THORFINN</SystemName>
<ThreadPoolSize>1</ThreadPoolSize>
<QuantumDuration>P0DT00H00M30S</QuantumDuration>
</Distributor>
<Distributor>
<SystemName>BIFROST</SystemName>
<ThreadPoolSize>3</ThreadPoolSize>
<QuantumDuration>P0DT00H00M15S</QuantumDuration>
</Distributor>
</Distributors>
