A service integration bus can have bootstrap members. These are bus members, cell members for which the Service Integration Bus Service is enabled, or nominated cell members that can service requests to bootstrap into the bus, depending on the bootstrap policy configured for the bus.
By configuring a bootstrap member policy for a selected service integration bus, you control which servers respond to bootstrap requests from client applications.
Use this task to find out which servers in the cell are available to service requests from clients to connect to a particular service integration bus. The list of available servers is restricted by the bootstrap member policy configured for the bus.
You can nominate one or more servers on cell nodes as bootstrap members for a selected bus. When the Bus members and nominated bootstrap members policy is configured for the bus, the nominated bootstrap members can service requests from client applications to connect to the bus.
Deleting a nominated bootstrap member from a selected service integration bus prevents the server from servicing requests from client applications to bootstrap into the bus.
