Service Broker provides queuing and reliable messaging for the Database Engine. Service Broker uses an endpoint for communication between instances, which opens a TCP/IP port on the server. Enable the Service Broker endpoint only if your applications use Service Broker to communicate between instances. Returns TRUE when a Service Broker endpoint exists and is in the STARTED state. Returns FALSE when Service Broker does not exist on the computer or it exists but is not started. Configure the endpoint to TRUE to start a stopped or disabled endpoint. The operation will fail if the endpoint does not exist on the server. Configure the endpoint to FALSE to disable the Service Broker endpoint.
