If it were me.... I think the entry ID of the one row in the form is 000000000000001 (but you could do a search on it and get the entry ID for sure).
I would create an escalation against that form with a Run If of '1' = "000000000000001" (or use name or whatever I just don't know what name the field has). Then, have an action that does a "set fields" to change the value of the debug mode field. that is it. OR, you could have a run if of 1 = 0 that should cause a failure and have the ELSE branch do a push fields to the record. This is a bit more complex so I would stick with the first. The key.... stop thinking it is an API program. It is a FORM. Just do standard form things to it.

How would I trigger this in my escalation? A Set Field, Push, Run Process.

Changing the logging mode through the ARSetServerInfo call (which is what the vendor form uses to interact with the server information) will change the mode immediately and dynamically. You do not need to do a server reset. So, as folks have shared with you, just set up an escalation against the Server Information vendor form and change the logging setting when you want to turn things on or off. By the way, you can do the same thing -- using escalations, using filters, using the API, using Web Services, ... -- to any of the server information settings that are exposed through this form. Be careful of some of the more involved ones (things like passwords and port settings) because the actual value is a formatted string with the UI pulling it out into table fields and then reformatting it for submission. If you go direct, you can change these values, but you need to do the formatting of things yourself.

Look to see if you have a form on your system of "Configuration ARDBC". That should be a vendor form of your server's ar.ini file. You can update the logging value thru a set fields or push fields action. Turning on logging means changing the value for where Name="Debug-mode". The only thing I don't remember off hand is if you then have to do an arsignal to have the server read the configuration settings Fred -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG] On Behalf Of Pargeter, Christie :CO IS Sent: Monday, February 11, 2013 9:55 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Turn on Filter Logs for a Time Frame ** Can I write an escalation that will turn on the filter logging? I want to catch one of my feeds that happens at 11:45 pm but I tend to be asleep at that time of day. I was wondering if anyone had written some escalations that would turn on logging then turn it off at a particular time.
