Configure a bootstrap member policy for a bus

By configuring a bootstrap member policy for a selected service integration bus, you control which servers respond to bootstrap requests from client applications.

Mixed-version environment: If the bus is in a mixed-version cell, the deployment manager must be at a v7.0 or later level.

A bus can use bootstrap members to service connection requests from client applications. In this task, you define a bootstrap member policy for a selected bus that defines which servers can bootstrap into the bus. The default bootstrap member policy is all cell members that have the Service Integration Bus Service enabled. We can restrict bootstrap membership to bus members only, or to bus members, and nominated bootstrap members. These are servers that are not bus members, but have been nominated as bootstrap members.

1. Log onto the dmgr console.

2. Click Service integration -> Buses -> bus_name. The configuration panel for the selected bus is displayed.
3. Choose one of the following bootstrap members policies for the bus:

   All members of the cell with the Service Integration Bus Service enabled

   This is the default option. All the servers in the cell that have the Service Integration Bus Service enabled are bootstrap members.

   Bus members and nominated bootstrap members

   Bootstrap membership is restricted to servers that are bus members, or have been nominated as bootstrap members.

   Bus members only

   Bootstrap membership is restricted to servers that are bus members.

4. Click Apply.

5. Save your changes to the master configuration.
   

Results

Requests from client applications to connect to the bus are serviced by the servers in the cell that meet the criteria set by the bootstrap member policy we have configured for the bus.

Use the dmgr console to list, nominate or delete bootstrap members for the selected bus.
