If this object does not exist, its default values are still used by IBM MQ for ASPARENT attributes that are not resolved by parent topics further up the topic tree.

Setting the PUB or SUB attributes of SYSTEM.BASE.TOPIC to DISABLED prevents applications publishing or subscribing to topics in the topic tree, with two exceptions:

1. Any topic objects in the topic tree that have PUB or SUB explicitly set to ENABLE. Applications can publish or subscribe to those topics, and their children.
2. Publication and subscription to SYSTEM.BROKER.ADMIN.STREAM is not disabled by the setting the PUB or SUB attributes of SYSTEM.BASE.TOPIC to DISABLED.
