Tools for module-management
To manage the features in modules, you use tools that are part of the package from IBM® Passport Advantage® or available from IBM Fix Central.
- The activation tool is in the package from IBM Passport Advantage.
- The enablement and disablement tools are available at no cost from IBM Fix Central.
Module management differs on DataPower Gateway for
Developers and when the platform is
docker
.- You cannot activate modules on DataPower Gateway for Developers.
- To disable activated features when the platform is
docker
, no tool from IBM Fix Central is necessary. - When the platform is
docker
, you cannot re-enable a feature unless you activate the appropriate module again.
