Disabling and enabling Recording

Recording of data is enabled by default but can be disabled by modifying the server.conf.yaml file.

About this task

You might want to temporarily stop recording for an integration server for performance reasons, or to modify the integration server. You can disable recording for your integration server by modifying the server.conf.yaml file.

Procedure

Modify the server.conf.yaml file to disable or enable recording for your integration server by completing the following steps:

  1. Stop the integration server. See Stopping an integration server.
  2. Open the server.conf.yaml configuration file for your integration server by using a YAML editor.

    You can edit the file by using the built-in YAML editor that is provided in the IBM App Connect Enterprise Toolkit, either by double-clicking the file in the Application Development view or by right-clicking the file and selecting Open with > YAML editor. If you choose to edit the file by using a plain text editor, ensure that you do not include any tab characters (which are not valid in YAML) and use a YAML validation tool to validate the contents of your file.

    The property that you need to set is in the RecordReplay section of the server.conf.yaml configuration file:
    RecordReplay:
          
    #recordReplayEnabled: 'true' # Valid values are true and false.
  3. Set the recordReplayEnabled property to false.
  4. Start the integration server. See Starting an integration server.

What to do next

You have now disabled recording for your integration server. When you are ready to start recording again, repeat the above procedure, and set the recordReplayEnabled property to true at step 3.
