Disabling the SQL log auto-import function in ARM


THE INFORMATION IN THIS ARTICLE APPLIES TO:

  • EFT Server Enterprise version 6.3 and later

EFT v8.0 and later store Advanced Properties in a JSON file. When you upgrade from EFT v7.4.x to EFT v8, the non-default settings that you have defined in the registry will be added to the Advanced Properties file during upgrade. (Default settings become part of the EFT configuration files.) For a more on how to use advanced properties, and a spreadsheet of the advanced properties, please refer to the "Advanced Properties" topic in the help for your version of EFT.

DISCUSSION

Starting with EFT Server v6.3, you can use a registry override to disable the SQL log auto-import feature in ARM. If this override is set, ARM will not automatically import the SQL log files. A service restart is not necessary after setting this value.

To disable the auto import feature in ARM

 In EFT v8 and later

Add the advanced property to the advancedproperties.json file in EFT's \ProgramData\ directory as described in the "Advanced Properties" topic in the online help for your version of EFT.
