Defining an Exclusive Message Dispatcher for the Coordination Server

In a multi-Message Dispatcher network, which implies multiple Encyclopedias, you may want to define a Message Dispatcher that is dedicated to the coordination server for network control purposes. Having this dedicated Message Dispatcher allows you to start and stop multiple Encyclopedias and to maintain independent access to the coordination server.

Note: In a single Encyclopedia network, having a dedicated message dispatcher is a waste of CPU resources.

You can edit the Message Dispatcher <iefmd.ini> file using any text editor.
