Differences between development mode and production mode

  • 1.  Differences between development mode and production mode

    When you create a new server, you are allowed to create it under development mode or production mode.  What is the technical differences between them ?   I would like to want to know the detail and tradeoff for each of them

    Hi Sam,


      Basically the purpose is to speed up server startup.  Is oriented to development (as the name says sometimes the developers only want to test and the server startup is to long for them.


      publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wasinf...

    Run in development mode



    Enabling this option might reduce application server start-up time because it changes some of the JVM settings, such as disabling bytecode verification, and reducing just-in-time (JIT) compiler compilation costs. Do not enable this setting on production servers. This setting is only available on an application server that is running in a Version 6.0 or later cell.




     Hope this helps,

    regards,
