Disabling all communication channels before starting XI

Question

We are mirroring our XI system for DR purposes and I need to work out how to stop XI from retrieving and delivering messages when I start it up.  I want to be able start up the DR system on the same network to check that it looks OK, but with all communication channels disabled (or stopped!).
Does anybody know how to do this?
Regards,
Jason

Hello All,
Sorry for opening a topic that is very old but every google search ends up here.
Run the script to set the channels to “STOPPED” state:
update [<SID>].[SAP<SID>DB].[XI_AF_ADM_STATE] set ACTIVATION_STATE = 'STOPPED';
This the script below will set the History of the communication channels to STOPPED:
update [<SID>].[SAP<SID>DB].[XI_AF_ADM_STATEHIS] set ACTIVATION_STATE = 'STOPPED';
This will set the automatic scheduled communication channels schedule to disabled:
update [<SID>].[SAP<SID>DB].[[XI_AF_ADM_SCHEDULE] set ENABLED = '0';
Next for disabling new incoming messages. Disable the Integration Engine (Set ENTRY LOCK to 1):
if exists (select * from <SID>.<sid>.[SXMSCONFVL] where CLIENT = '200' and AREA = 'RUNTIME' and PARAM = 'ENTRY_LOCK')
update <SID>.<sid>.[SXMSCONFVL] set VALUE = '0' where CLIENT = '200' and AREA = 'RUNTIME' and PARAM = 'ENTRY_LOCK';
else
insert into <SID>.<sid>.[SXMSCONFVL] (CLIENT, AREA, PARAM, SUBPARAM, GENERIC, VALUE, CHGTSTAMP, CHGUSER)
VALUES ('200', 'RUNTIME', 'ENTRY_LOCK', '', '0', '1', '20131206011316.8280000', 'DDIC');
The following will disable the abap RFC's:
update [SID].[sid].[RFCDES] set RFCOPTIONS = REPLACE(RFCOPTIONS,'N=','N=#') where RFCTYPE = 'T';
update [SID].[sid].[RFCDES] set RFCOPTIONS = REPLACE(RFCOPTIONS,'H=','H=#') where RFCTYPE = '3';
Replace <SID> with the sap<sid>.
Keep in mind that the mail is still being send out when you start SAP.
To active the Integration Server for incoming messages:
f you have locked the Integration Server for incoming messages, open it by calling the transaction Integration Engine - Administration (SXMB_ADM) and choosing Integration Engine Configuration    Specific Configuration   Change New Entries  . Select the category RUNTIME and then the parameter ENTRY LOCK: Set the current value to 0 (NOT LOCKED) and choose Save
The message in the queues are still being processed.
