How to configure Dispatcher Flush Agents on Publisher?

Normally the dispatcher flush agents are configured on the author under the section ‘Agents on Publish’ and activated for it to be replicated to publish instances where it takes effect. This works when the same configuration is needed on all the publish instances as any node that gets replicated would get replicated to all publishers for which a replication agent is configured

For cases where the configuration of dispatcher flush agent(s) needed on each publish instance differs we can use one of the below approach

Direct configuration on Publish instances

Make the configuration directly on Publish instance. This involves logging in to each publish instance with admin credentials and creating the required dispatcher flush agent configuration for that instance. Avoid using this approach for higher environments. Could be a useful approach for development and test environment to get the configuration done quickly.

Using CURL scripts to create dispatcher flush agents

Use CURL to create dispatcher flush agents needed on each publish instance. This is the most widely used approach and the CURL scripts can be maintained for recreating instances in case of server rebuilds.

Using packages to install the configuration on publish instances

Configure all the dispatcher flush agents needed on Author. Create packages – one for each publish instance with flush agents needed for that instance. Install the created package on the corresponding publish instance.
