To facilitate packaging the standalone GLA with applications that need different outputters, the new GLA adapter configuration attribute "disabled" (introduced with feature 96433) can be exploited. All of the TPTP GLA adapter configuration files used for Log Import can be changed by adding the CBEFileOutputter and CBELogOutputter components to them. These new components will have the disabled="true" attribute so they will not be executed by GLA during a Log Import operation. If another product packages standalone GLA with the accompanying adapter files, they must either change the adapter files to disable all outputters except the one required or at run-time use the API added in feature 96433 to do it in memory. This description of how to package the adapter files in an application will be added to the TPTP GLA programming guide (http://www.eclipse.org/tptp/monitoring/documents/tutorials/GLA_pkg.html). Note, a consequence of adding all of the outputters to the Log Import adapter files is that a Log Import with Filter operation from a remote system that has an older version of RAC installed will not work because the older GLA run-time packaged with the RAC will not recognize the disabed attribute on the extra outputters. To fix this, Log Import Wizard code needs to be changed to remove any extra outputters, as well as add the filter blade to the adapter configuration file before sending it to the remote RAC to run.
This depends on the new component disable functionality introduced in feature 96433.

Based on discussions with Eric and Christine, it was decided this feature is not a high priority for 4.2 and the complete support for packaging GLA adapters in multiple applicaitons should be revisited in the future. Targetting this to future.
I reviewed the design and I have no additional comments.
Increasing priority to reflect requestor's priority.
Adding plan keyword as it has been approved as a candidate for TPTP 4.3. Resources are available to complete this work.
Update version and target since this is in plan for 4.3
We will need to document to the user how to modify this outputter from the command line.
Reviewed and approved by the AG on July 14
This is targetted to complete in 4.3 iteration 2 (Code complete Sept. 8)
Committed changes to adapter files to TPTP Head CVS. Also changed Component and CBELogOutputter classes to fix problems with disabled components in the log import scenario.
As of TPTP 4.6.0, TPTP is in maintenance mode and focusing on improving quality by resolving relevant enhancements/defects and increasing test coverage through test creation, automation, Build Verification Tests (BVTs), and expanded run-time execution. As part of the TPTP Bugzilla housecleaning process (see http://wiki.eclipse.org/Bugzilla_Housecleaning_Processes), this enhancement/defect is verified/closed by the Project Lead since this originator of this enhancement/defect has an inactive Bugzilla account and considered to be fixed. If this enhancement/defect is still unresolved and reproducible in the latest TPTP release (http://www.eclipse.org/tptp/home/downloads/), please re-open.
