Overview
The Enable/Disable feature allows you to temporarily turn an Integration Bridge on or off without deleting it.
This functionality helps you pause, manage, and control bridge operations while preserving all existing configurations.
When enabled, the bridge operates normally. When disabled, it enters a paused state where most actions are restricted.
What Does Enable/Disable Do?
The Enable/Disable toggle controls whether an Integration Bridge is active or paused.
It determines if the bridge can run, process data, and perform operational tasks.
- Enabled (Default): The bridge works normally. You can start, stop, run, view logs, share, copy, and refresh.
- Disabled: The bridge is placed in a draft or paused mode. It remains listed with all settings preserved, but most actions are blocked.
This feature is useful for temporarily putting a bridge on hold when it is not ready for use or needs to be paused.
When to Use
The Disable option should be used when you want to pause an Integration Bridge without removing its configuration.
- When the bridge is still under development
- For seasonal or temporary workflows
- When testing is complete but deployment is postponed
- When you need to pause operations without data loss
How It Works
When the Integration Bridge is enabled, all operational features are active.
When it is disabled, the system restricts most actions while preserving configuration and history.
- The bridge remains visible in your list
- All settings and configurations are retained
- Most integration action buttons are disabled
- Editing remains available
If a bridge is running when it is disabled, the system automatically stops it and moves it to an inactive state.
How to Configure / How to Use
To enable or disable an Integration Bridge, use the built-in toggle option available in edit mode.
Steps to Find the Enable/Disable Toggle
- Open any Integration Bridge in Edit mode
- Navigate to the Summary section (final step)
- Locate the toggle labeled Disable Integration Bridge
- Switch the toggle to enable or disable the bridge
- Click the update button at the bottom of Summary page
Changes take effect immediately after switching the toggle.
What Happens When You Disable a Bridge?
When a bridge is disabled, most actions become unavailable until it is enabled again.
| Action | Available When Disabled? |
|---|---|
| Start Integration Bridge | No |
| Stop Integration Bridge | No |
| View More (Details) | No |
| View Logs | No |
| Download Logs | No |

Why Use Disable Instead of Deleting?
Disabling a bridge provides a safer and more efficient alternative to deleting it.
- All configuration work remains preserved and intact
- No need to recreate the bridge later
- Supports temporary and seasonal workflows
- Allows quick reactivation when needed
This approach helps maintain continuity and reduces reconfiguration effort.
Troubleshooting
Most issues related to disabled bridges are caused by restricted access to actions.
- If you cannot start a bridge, verify that it is enabled
- If logs are unavailable, check the bridge status
- If operations are blocked, confirm the toggle is set to Enabled
Re-enabling the bridge restores full functionality.
