How to Verify if Broker Services is enabled and how to enable it?

How to check if Broker Service is enabled in SQL Server?

To Verify if the Broker Service is enabled on SQL Database, run the following Query:

select is_broker_enabled from sys.databases where name = '<yourdbname>'
If the value is set to 1, it means the Broker service is enabled.

use master
alter database <dbname> SET ENABLE_BROKER
