  2. A machine configured with an event monitor, a dispatcher and one or more SEPs operates with configurations 1 and 5.
  3. A machine configured with an event monitor and a dispatcher operate with configurations 1, 4, and 5. Network load balancers manage traffic between:
    • The listeners and the dispatcher.
    • The dispatcher and the SEPs on a configuration 4 machine.
  4. As described in configuration 3, a machine configured with an event monitor and an SEP operates with configurations 1, 3, and 5.
  5. You can configure the installation's database server on a single machine, or it can operate over multiple machines.
