Procedure

Checking the operation mode

About this task

You can use the ibmint display mode command to check the operation mode in which your installation of IBM App Connect Enterprise is running.

For more information, see ibmint display mode command.

Setting the operation mode

About this task

You can use the ibmint set mode command to set the operation mode for your installation of IBM App Connect Enterprise. For example, to set the operation mode to Production-Advanced, enter the following command: 
ibmint set mode Production-Advanced

You can change the operation mode to Production-Standard, Non-Production, Development, or Production-Advanced.

For more information, see ibmint set mode command.

Upgrading from the Evaluation Edition

About this task

If you have previously installed the Evaluation Edition and want to upgrade to IBM App Connect Enterprise in another operation mode (such as Production-Advanced mode), you can keep the components and all the associated resources that you have already created and configured.

Before you install the new IBM App Connect Enterprise package, you must uninstall the Evaluation Edition. You can retain your existing integration nodes and servers, your workspace, and any other resources that you created in the Evaluation Edition. When you have installed IBM App Connect Enterprise and specified your chosen operation mode (such as Production-Advanced mode), your integration nodes and servers that had previously been running in Evaluation mode will run in the operation mode that has been set for your new installation. If you do not specify an operation mode during installation, the Production-Advanced mode is set by default.
