Disable Publisher
Associated with: Sparkplug Publisher items
Security permission required to access this pick action: Disable Points
NOTE: The 'Disable...' series of pick actions are assigned the 'Disable Points' security permission so that users with that permission can disable database items without necessarily being given the full 'Configuration' security permission. A user, such as an operator, whose User Account is given the 'Disable Points' permission but not the 'Configure' permission can disable a database item, but is prevented from altering the rest of that item's configuration.
Use this pick action to take a Sparkplug Publisher item Out of Service.
The Disable Publisher pick action clears the Publisher's In Service property, so that the Publisher is no longer active.
You might want to disable a Publisher database item, for example, if Geo SCADA Expert has detected a problem with the publishing device that the database item represents. Once the problem has been rectified, use the Enable Publisher pick action to place the Publisher back In Service.
Geo SCADA Expert logs an entry in the Event Journal whenever either pick action is used. The entry indicates whether the Publisher has been enabled or disabled.
When the Publisher is disabled, Geo SCADA Expert ignores any messages that it receives from that publisher.
