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.

For transitioning users: The Intelligent Management command that equates to useBBSON.py is useWVEBB.py. If you are making the transition from WebSphere Virtual Enterprise, you can continue to use the useWVEBB.py command, which operates the same as the useBBSON.py command.

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, synchronize your change, stop and start the cell again.
