keeping CAF disabled for a while

Hello.

I need to stop the caf java application in nwa for a minute in order to run a development performance test.

Every single time I stop the the app the system restart it automatically before the test can throw any exception.

Does anyone know a way to keep caf disabled a little while? Or to avoid the system to restart it automatically?

I also tried disabling the functional unit but I couldn't because of depndencies with other funs.

My landscape is netweaver 7.31 SP10 java only.

Thanks in advance.

PS: I posted this question here because the composite application space appears disabled. (light gray, non-selectable)
