You can change the state of a multi-node listener on all nodes in an Integration Server cluster from any node in the cluster. When a multi-node listener is enabled, disabled, or suspended on all nodes in the cluster, the action that a particular node takes depends on:

For example, if a multi-node listener has already been suspended on node A, and then on node B you disable the listener on all nodes in the cluster, node A takes no real action. Node A only shows the state as disabled because the listener thread has already stopped running.

The following table shows what change occurs in the state of a multi-node listener on a particular node in the cluster when you enable, disable, or suspend the listener on all nodes.
