Navigate to artifactory.config.latest.xml file found inside path $JFROG_HOME/artifactory/var/etc/artifactory and change "enabled" from "true" to "false" under the xrayConfig.
Rename the file from “artifactory.config.latest.xml” to “artifactory.config.import.xml” and then restart the Artifactory instance for the changes to take effect.
NOTE: If you have an HA cluster, please ensure to restart each node.
