Restrictions that apply in each operation mode

The operation mode in which you are running your installation of IBM® App Connect Enterprise determines how many integration servers you can use, and the purposes for which you can use the product.

Advanced mode

All features are enabled, and there is no limit to the number of integration servers or the number of message flows that can be deployed to each integration server.

For more information about the features that are available in IBM App Connect Enterprise, see IBM App Connect Enterprise features.

Nonproduction mode

All features are enabled, and no limits are imposed on the number of resources that you can create or the rate at which messages can be processed. The functions that are available in nonproduction mode are the same as in advanced mode, but nonproduction mode can be used for evaluation, development, and test purposes only.

Developer mode

All features are enabled for an unlimited time, but you can use the product for evaluation purposes only (within the terms of the license). IBM App Connect Enterprise for Developers, which is also known as Developer Edition, is restricted to processing one message (transaction) per second. For more information, see Operation modes.

Standard mode

All features are enabled. If you are using an integration node, you can associate only one integration server with it, but the number of message flows that you can deploy to it is unlimited.
