All,

Is there a way to temporarily disable a DSO mapping, such that any
transactions on the "from" server will go into the Pending
Distributions queue and reliably flush out when DSO is again enabled?
I want to disable outbound traffic in one direction (i.e. one
mapping), but not another (i.e. another mapping to a different "to"
server).  Disabling the distributed mappings causes the transactions
to simply fail, with no queueing (I know the workaround for that is to
simply export those entries where Modified Date >= the time I disabled
DSO).  I also want to avoid stopping and restarting the Remedy
service.

I have tried adding a line "Disable-Client-Operation: 5" to the ar.cfg
file and then running "arsignal -c".  Actually this does work, but not
in reverse - I can't seem to undo it.  If I comment out the line (or
delete it) and run "arsignal -c" again, DSO is not enabled (but no
errors).  (I also tried this using driver.exe and running the "sig"
command, no luck, but no errors either.)  A drawback to this method -
if it worked as expected - is that it disables the entire DSO, I
really just want to stop one mapping but not another.  Re-starting the
Remedy service did not clear up the queue (and again, restarting is
something I want to avoid, anyway.).

It occurred to me to try commenting-out the "DSO-Target-Connection:"
lines in ar.cfg but, as mentioned, I'm having trouble using "arsignal"
to undo the changes.

Details (both "to" and "from" servers):
ARS 6.3, p22
Help Desk 6 (with a lot of home-grown objects)
MS-SQL 2005 (9.00.3042.00)
Windows Server 2k3 R2

Thanks in advance,

Joe Castleman
