Hi Jennifer,

As far as i know bootstrap only generates the profiles... I never heard of any other utilization... What do you have in mind?

Hi Jennifer,

I think they called it bootstrap because it check the profiles while starting the system... or during the SAP booting process...

Quote from wikipedea,

"Bootstrapping (computing), starting a computer or building complex tools after building simple tools that allow for the creation of the more complex tools. Shortened to booting to describe the process of starting up a computer"

Hi Jennifer,

Bootstrap process synchronize all required binaries for the Java nodes from the database with the file system. This is required because Class Loading is performed using the file system in the Java. The DB always contains the

deployed binaries and distributes to Java node when starting.
