Disabling of flow

Can you please elaborate a bit please. While you wanna debug one flow and if you see paralelly another flow is running. Then that means there might be connectors like salesforce or database or any connector other than HTTP in source. The only thing you can do is, comment out all the sources in the flows which you dont want to run and keep the actual flow as is for which u need to debug

Hi, @baharul, you can follow this knowledge article from Mulesoft themselves to fulfill your requirement.

https://support.mulesoft.com/s/article/How-To-Stop-Or-Start-Flows-In-Mule-4-x-Programmatically

@baharul If you add these two flows into your xml they will add start and stop endpoints which will take a flowname as a query parameter and allow you to switch flows on and off as required.

    <flow name="start">
         <http:listener config-ref="HTTP_Listener_Configuration" path="/start" doc:name="HTTP"/>
 <scripting:component doc:name="Groovy">
             <scripting:script engine="Groovy"><![CDATA[muleContext.registry.lookupFlowConstruct(message.getInboundProperty('http.query.params').get('flowname')).start()]]></scripting:script>
         </scripting:component>
     </flow>
         <flow name="stop">
         <http:listener config-ref="HTTP_Listener_Configuration" path="/stop" doc:name="HTTP"/>
         <scripting:component doc:name="Groovy">
             <scripting:script engine="Groovy"><![CDATA[muleContext.registry.lookupFlowConstruct(message.getInboundProperty('http.query.params').get('flowname')).stop()]]></scripting:script>
         </scripting:component>
     </flow>

Thanks @sravan451 @fullmoenty @phulme for your answer , however I think need to explain little bit more on my question for better understanding to get my answer.

In all coding as a developer sometimes we disable some parts of the code (like debug log) and then re-enable again based on requirement again (like may be issue tracing.) . So , in mule flow can we disable some steps from Studio ?

@baharul Yes, you can disable part of the flow or the entire flow from configuration XML tab to debug part of the code. There is no option to disable the flow or individual elements from the message flow tab/right click on the component.

 <flow name="disableSource">
  <!--        <poll doc:name="Poll">
             <fixed-frequency-scheduler frequency="10" timeUnit="MINUTES"/>
             <logger level="INFO" doc:name="Logger"/>
         </poll> -->
          <flow-ref name="testsubFlow" doc:name="testsubFlow"/>
      </flow>

Thanks @anuushar , this is what i was looking for

@baharul Can you up vote the answer?
