Turning the Queue off will result in VDEF HL7 message generation for the Queue being suspended until such time when the Queue is turned back on. NOTE: Turning off a Request Queue will not prevent VDEF from adding requests to it. Turning a VDEF Request Queue off for a prolonged period of time may result in a significant number of VDEF Requests accumulating in that Queue and causing disk space problems. If VDEF messaging is to be completely turned off for a Request Queue, the associated VDEF Requestor should be turned off via menu option VDEF (De)Activate Requestor.
