Passivation storage
Pega Platform provides two passivation storage mechanisms: database and filesystem. The default passivation storage is database, which is most efficient and robust. You can override the default storage mechanism by setting the prconfig setting "inititlization/persistrequestor/storage" to either "database", "filesystem", or "custom".
Database passivation storage corresponds to the following prconfig.xml file setting:
<env name="initialization/persistrequestor/storage" value="database" />
        With database storage, the passivation daemon saves requestor information as an instance of the
        System-Requestor-Context
        class, corresponding to the
        pr_sys_context
        database table. The daemon saves page details as an instance of the
        System-SavedPages
        class in the
        pr_page_store
        database table.
      
To save passivation details in filesystem storage instead of the database, add following setting to the prconfig.xml file. For more information on filesystem storage, see Shared filesystem storage.
<env name="initialization/persistrequestor/storage value="filesystem" />
