Enabling Java API recording

The values of the API configuration parameters in the sample file are the default values. Follow the steps to override the default values:

1. Copy and rename the arsys_sample.xml file to arsys_api.xml and save the file in one of the following locations: 
   • For Mid Tier: <Mid-tier Installation>\WEB-INF\classes\
   • For Developer Studio: <Dev Studio Installation>\plugins\com.bmc.arsys.studio.api_<version>\

1. Change the configuration parameter values that you want to override.
   This value uses a bitmask to control the output. You can combine the values to get combined results. The following table lists the effect of each bitmask value:
   
   Java API recording bitmask values

   Value	Output
   0	Do not log data
   1	Log data
   2	Record in the append mode in the file
   4	Record start and finish time
   8	Record elapse time is milliseconds (ms)
   16	Combine the command file and result file into a single output file
   32	Do not record result data output
   64	Buffer the file output

   For example: Setting Java API recording=42 (2+8+32) adds the data to the results file in append mode (2) and adds only the elapsed time to the log (8) and does not record the result data output (32).

2. Locate the <apiRecordingLogDir> tag in the arsys_api.xml file and specify the location for command file and results output file.
   For example: For <apiRecordingLogDir>specify the location</apiRecordingLogDir>
