how to prevent Build event records created by Ant tasks, help
some of our software builds use the RTC provided Ant (in Build system toolkit) tasks to document progress for long running (8-10 hour) builds. these are
StartActivity
FinishActivity
and these builds create build records in RTC..
but.. it turns out that these Ant tasks also cause Feed event records to be created, and not linearly..
we see 4 ant task invocations and 11 event records. We had a problem with logs in build records last October too. these undocumented side effects are killing our system (rtc server and DB server) performance, as the number of events goes up...
is there any way to turn off the side effects? we don't need Build events generated for this.
some of our CI builds are generating 1000 events each, at 20 times a day this is extremely excessive.

Hi Sam,
I don't believe there is a way to turn events off for a build. Nick just opened this enhancement ... Allow build event creation for build activities to be turned off (258721)
