useBBSON.py script
Intelligent Management uses the bulletin board service overlay network (BBSON) by default, which alleviates the dependency on the WebSphere® Application Server Network Deployment (ND) high availability manager and its required core group configuration. Run useBBSON.py to disable the usage of BBSON, enabling the ND high availability manager instead. You can also use the script to enable BBSON if it was previously disabled.
Purpose
Use the useBBSON.py script to disable the usage of BBSON, enabling the ND high availability manager instead. You can also use the script to enable BBSON if it was previously disabled. For restrictions and considerations, see the BBSON bulletin board.

Location
The useBBSON.py script is located in the app_server_root/bin directory.
Usage
To enable BBSON, run the following
command:
./wsadmin.sh -lang jython -f useBBSON.py
To
disable BBSON, and to use the ND high availability manager instead,
run the following command:
./wsadmin.sh -lang jython -f useBBSON.py -useHAMBB
Note: After running theuseBBSON.py script,
