A Module is an archive file that bundles a set of classes, related libraries and third-party library dependencies. After adding a module to the system, you can engage it to activate a module for your services. WSO2 Carbon provides a user friendly interface to engage and disengage modules.
Engaging Modules
If the module is not already engaged, use this option to engage the module.
Tip
The "WS-Addressing" module is always globally engaged.
Modules can be engaged on two levels:
- Service level - A module can be engaged only for a certain service.
- Global Level - A module can be engaged for all the services (as described here.)
Follow the instructions below to engage a module on a global level.

2. Click the Main tab and select List under Modules.
3. The Deployed Modules page appears. Select a module to engage from the Modules list and click Engage.
4. Click OK.
5. The engaged module appears in the Globally Engaged Modules list.
Disengaging Modules
If a module is already engaged, you can disengage it. Follow the instructions below to disengage a module on a global level.

2. Click the Main tab and select List under Modules.
