Modifying the IBM Process Server environment type
If you want to modify the environment type that was specified during initial configuration, update the configuration using the updateBPMConfig administrative command. The environment type indicates how IBM® Business Process Manager is used (for example, in a development, test, staging or production environment). Process authors can set environment-specific variables for each process application and then define values for each type of environment in which a process runs.
