The xDB and tracker configuration settings
Version:
The Sitecore.Xdb.config configuration file contains the settings that allow you to enable or disable the xDB and the tracker:
- Setting: Notes
Xdb.Enabled: To run in CMS-only mode, you must set this setting to false to prevent the recording, reporting, and aggregation of data in the xDB.
Xdb.Tracking.Enabled: Enable or disable tracking on the Content Management and Content Delivery roles.
The web.config file contains an additional setting that allows you to disable the Email Experience Manager (EXM):
| Setting | Notes |
|---|---|
exmEnabled | When you disable xDB, you must also disable EXM. Open the web.config file. In the <appSettings> section, in the <add key="exmEnabled:define" value="yes"/> setting, change the value to no. |
Note
If you have an Experience Manager license, the Xdb.Enabled setting always resolves to false.
