Bridge Instances

A bridge instance implements the bridging policy defined in a bridge configuration file. A bridge instance is a generic shell that derives its configuration from a .tbc file. Only one instantiation of a given bridge configuration can be running at any time, which means that you cannot run several instances for the same source and destination repository. However, you can run any number of different configuration instances on a particular host.

Depending on the logging level set in the configuration, you can monitor the status and activity of a bridge instance by inspecting the log file generated locally. In addition, you can monitor startup, shutdown, and critical error messages remotely from a designated Event Manager Message Console.
