Surface Area Configuration for Features (Service Broker) - Database Engine
Microsoft SQL Server uses a Service Broker endpoint for Service Broker communication outside the instance of SQL Server.
An endpoint is a SQL Server object that represents the capability for SQL Server to communicate over the network. Each endpoint supports a specific type of communication. For example, an HTTP endpoint lets SQL Server process specific SOAP requests. A Service Broker endpoint configures SQL Server to send and receive Service Broker messages over the network.
Service Broker endpoints can be started, stopped, or disabled. You can use this dialog to start or stop and disable the Service Broker endpoint for an instance.
