Answer 1

Hi,
Upon restarting the host system I found the application server to be running normal.
I am not sure if there were any pending configuration requiring the host system to be restarted and causing the dispatcher not to become operational.
Thanks a lot for your response though.
If I get the error again, I would surely paste both the logs here in my question.
Best Regards,
OI
