Disable EoN Node
Associated with: MQTT Sparkplug™ B EoN Nodes
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 Configure 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 an MQTT Sparkplug B EoN Node Out of Service.
The Disable EoN Node pick action clears the EoN Node's In Service property, so that the EoN Node is no longer active.
You might want to disable an EoN Node database item, for example, if Geo SCADA Expert has detected a problem with the node (client) that the database item represents. Once the problem has been rectified, use the Enable EoN Node pick action to place the EoN Node back In Service.
Geo SCADA Expert logs an entry in the Event Journal whenever either pick action is used. The entry indicates whether the EoN Node has been enabled or disabled.
Be aware that disabling an MQTT Sparkplug B EoN Node also de-activates its dependents, although their configuration will remain unchanged. Dependents include items such as MQTT Sparkplug B Devices and points that are associated with the EoN Node.
When the EoN Node is disabled, Geo SCADA Expert ignores any messages that it receives from that node.
If using this pick action with the Automation Interface, you need to specify the method name Disable.
