With dynamic reloading of configuration files, any updates to the configuration information are dynamically passed to the server, and therefore made available to messaging engines whether or not they are started.
The information that defines the configuration of service integration buses and their resources is saved in a set of configuration files. When a server starts up, it uses the current information about service integration read from those configuration files. When a messaging engine is started, it uses the information in the server that it is running in.
If the information in the configuration files is changed while the server is running, the server must either be dynamically updated or restarted to use the updated information.
With dynamic reloading of configuration files, any updates to the configuration information are dynamically passed to the server, and therefore made available to messaging engines whether or not they are started. You can enable dynamic reloading of configuration files for servers and for service integration buses.
If you choose not to enable dynamic reloading of configuration files, you need to restart the server to pick up any changes to the configuration files.
