Idea: RA agents - add option to disable sending solution-specific reports to AE DB

[Michael A. Lowry]

With ordinary OS agents, one can disable the automatic transmission of job reports (logs) to the Automation Engine server.

However, this is not possible for all agents.

Rapid Automation agents have many report types that are specific to the particular RA solution. All of these reports are sent from the RA agent to the Automation Engine server, and stored in the RT table in the AE database. It is not currently possible to disable the automatic transmission of these reports. For instance, RA Informatica jobs have an Integration Reports section with above Job Report options. However, these options have no effect on some report types, including the PowerCenter Workflow Log (WWF1) report type. Reports of this type are always sent to the AE DB, regardless of the Job Report settings.

I believe the Automation Engine should offer the capability to disable transmission of RA solution-specific reports to the AE DB, so I created a new idea about this.

Does the Job Report Store to checkbox on the Integration reports tab (I think it was called the RA tab on older versions) of a RA job not control this already? (on 21.0.9)

It might work for some solution-specific job reports. But it doesn't work for all of them. As I wrote above:

…RA Informatica jobs have an Integration Reports section with above Job Report options. However, these options have no effect on some report types, including the PowerCenter Workflow Log (WWF1) report type.

Broadcom Support confirmed that there is currently no way to disable automatic transmission of PowerCenter Workflow Logs (WWF1) from the RA Informatica Agent to the Automation Engine database.
