Configure the General Broker Properties

Use the fields at the top of the Broker tab to configure these properties:

• In Service—Use to specify whether the Sparkplug Publisher Broker item is active or inactive (see Placing an Item In Service).

  If you take a Sparkplug Publisher Broker item out of service, the Sparkplug Publisher item that is associated with the Broker also becomes out of service (although its configuration remains unchanged).

• Confirm Disable/Enable—Users with the required permissions can disable a Sparkplug Publisher Broker item that is In Service, or enable a Sparkplug Publisher Broker item that is not In Service. Such actions are carried out using the Disable Broker and Enable Broker pick actions.

  Use the Confirm Disable/Enable combo box to specify whether a confirmation dialog box is displayed whenever an operator requests that this Sparkplug Publisher Broker item is disabled or enabled (see Requesting Confirmation of Action Requests).

  You use the Disable Broker pick action to take a Sparkplug Publisher Broker item out of service. When a Sparkplug Publisher Broker item is taken out of service, the Sparkplug Publisher item that is associated with the Broker also becomes inactive.
