dispatcher timer
Dispatcher is a process that enables many clients to connect to the same server without the need for a dedicated server process for each client. A dispatcher handles and directs multiple incoming network session requests to shared server processes.
Database server can be configured in two ways. One is Dedidated Server and another is shared server. In dedicated server one server process that is dedicated to one client connection. In a shared Server, a database server is configured to allow many user processes to share very few server processes, so the number of users that can be supported is increased. With shared server configuration, many user processes connect to a dispatcher. The dispatcher directs multiple incoming network session requests to a common queue. An idle shared server process from a shared pool of server processes picks up a request from the queue. This means that a small pool of server processes can serve a large number of clients.
Waits for dispatcher timer means that the dispatcher is idle and waiting for some work to arrive. Wait Time:
