Activating and Deactivating Service Definitions in Bulk

This section describes activating and deactivating service definitions in bulk.

The Service Administration – Service Activate/Deactivate page (IB_HOME_PAGE9) in the Service Administration component enables you to activate and deactivate services in bulk.

This page enables you to quickly activate or deactivate services. If any problems occur during activation, the system displays a message indicating a problem activating a certain object, for example routing, handler, and so on. If such a message occurs, you must look at the corresponding object definition to determine the problem. This page is not intended to be used to debug activation problems or problems with integration metadata definitions.

This example shows the Service Administration – Service Activate/Deactivate page.

When you activate one or more services, all of the default service operation associated with the services become active. In addition, the handlers, routings and queues associated with the service operations become active as well.

When you deactivate one or more services, all selected services become deactivated. The default service operations for the services become deactivated as well. In addition, the handlers and routing definitions associated with the service operations become deactivated. Queues do not become deactivated, since they can be shared with other service operations.
