Issue/Introduction

Adaptive configuration will Create/Add/Remove watchers automatically based on how it is configured. If it is enabled you can see
some of the following behavior in the agent while it is running:

• Configuration sets are not loading as expected
  
  
• Agent watchers manually added are being deleted
  
  
• The agent seems to lose the configuration you loaded
  
  
• Watchers have an AC appended to their name

Adaptive Configuration on the Agent system can be disabled via one of the following methods:

Important Note: Use of Method 1 is highly recommended. This will prevent Adaptive Configuration from reconfiguring the agents, but
it will retain other features such as the Agent Watchdog functionality. Method 1 can also be deployed via UCM

For Windows:
Method 1 - To disable the adaptive configuration without removing the services you can do the following:

• check the %AGENTWORKS_DIR%\agents\baseline\caiWinA3.xml file.
  
  
• By default "BaselineMode" is set to "all":
  

  <BaselineMode  enumlist="none|loadconfigsetonce|loadconfigset|selfconfiguration|selfadaptation|all">all
  </BaselineMode>  

• run: awservices stop
  
  
• edit the source and change "BaselineMode" to "none":
  

  <BaselineMode  enumlist="none|loadconfigsetonce|loadconfigset|selfconfiguration|selfadaptation|all">none
  </BaselineMode>  

• run: awservices start

Note: This configuration file can be deployed via UCM.

Method 2 - To remove the aws_baseline service from awservices run the following commands:

• awservices stop
  
  
• caiWinA3 remove
  
  
• aws_baseline remove
  
  
• caiWinA3 installauto --dependOn=aws_sadmin
  
  
• awservices stop

For Unix:

Method 1 - To disable the adaptive configuration without removing the services you can do the following:

• check the $AGENTWORKS_DIR/agents/baseline/caiUxsA2.xml file.
  
  
• By default "BaselineMode" is set to "all":
  

  <BaselineMode  enumlist="none|loadconfigsetonce|loadconfigset|selfconfiguration|selfadaptation|all">all
  </BaselineMode> 

• run: awservices stop
  
  
• edit the source and change "BaselineMode" to "none":
  

  <BaselineMode  enumlist="none|loadconfigsetonce|loadconfigset|selfconfiguration|selfadaptation|all">none
  </BaselineMode> 

• run: awservices start

Note: This configuration file can be deployed via UCM.

Method 2 - To remove the aws_baseline service from awservices run the following commands:

• awservices stop
  
  
• caiUxsA2 remove
  
  
• aws_baseline remove
  
  
• caiUxsA2 installauto --dependOn=aws_sadmin
  
  
• awservices stop
