  Key Concepts: 
  Session dispatching is a feature of the BC-CST-IC Internet Communication Manager (ICM) component of SAP. It is used to manage the distribution of incoming requests from web clients to the appropriate server. The ICM uses a set of rules to determine which server should handle the request, based on criteria such as load balancing, server availability, and user preferences. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The ICM is configured with a set of rules that define how incoming requests should be dispatched. These rules can be based on criteria such as load balancing, server availability, and user preferences. The ICM then uses these rules to determine which server should handle the request. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When configuring session dispatching, it is important to consider the performance and scalability of your system. You should also consider how the rules will affect user experience, as different rules may result in different performance levels for different users.
