IBM BPM Advanced 8.5.0.1 - Disabling Process Server to Performance Data Warehouse communication

So, in order to disable the automatic publishing of events from Process Server to the Performance Data Warehouse database, I followed this IBM Technote: -

Disabling tracking data generation for a Process Server or Process Center in IBM Business Process Manager (BPM)

My requirement is to disable the use of PDW and instead use IBM Business Monitor ( aka BAM ) instead.

In essence, one needs to toggle: -

<performance-server-communication>

from: -

true

to: -

false

in 101Custom.xml ( which I used to override the stock 100Custom.xml ) and then restarted Process Server.

Works for me, your mileage may vary.
