Disabling a Messaging Connection Alias

You might disable a Universal Messaging connection alias to:

Edit the messaging connection alias.

Prevent services from publishing messages to a messaging provider.

Stop receiving messages from a particular messaging provider.

Stop all webMethods messaging triggers that use a particular messaging provider.

Because a Universal Messaging connection alias does not require an Integration Server restart for the change to take effect, disabling the alias is a quick way to stop the sending, retrieval, and processing of messages from the Universal Messaging server in the alias.

To disable a messaging connection alias

1. Open the Integration Server Administrator.

2. Go to Settings > Messaging.

3. Under webMethods Messaging Configuration, click webMethods Messaging Settings.

4. In the webMethods Connection Alias Definitions list, locate the messaging connection alias that you want to disable.

5. Click the Green check mark

icon in the Enabled column to disable the messaging connection alias.

For a Universal Messaging connection alias, Integration Server Administrator replaces Green check mark

with No.

For a Broker connection alias, Integration Server Administrator replaces Green check mark

Yes with

No [Pending Restart].

6. If this is a Broker connection alias, restart Integration Server for your changes to take effect.
