Enhancement Number
Cause
This is expected behavior not a defect.  

In order for a broker to be able to detect and handle dynamic changes, the broker needs to be started with the allowRuntimeUpdates property set to 1.
The default value is 0.  The broker will need to be restarted when this property is changed.  In OpenEdge Explorer or OpenEdge Management, the property is located in the broker section of the configuration screen and is called:  Enable dynamic property updates. 
Resolution
  1. Modify the ubroker.properties file for the broker to have:  allowRuntimeUpdates=1
  2. Restart the broker for this change to take effect.
or
  1. Modify the "Enable dynamic property updates" in OpenEdge Explorer or OpenEdge Management as seen in the image below:
Enable dynamic property updates
  1. Restart the broker for this change to take effect.
All changes made to properties that are listed in the ubroker.properties.README file as being dynamic, should now be detected and handled when they are changed either via the ubroker.properties or via OEE (OpenEdge Explorer) or OEM (OpenEdge Management) for this specific broker.
