Run production servers in production mode
Business Process Management servers are typically run in production mode on production servers. However, servers can also be run in development mode to reduce startup time for the server by using JVM settings to disable bytecode verification and reduce JIT compilation time.
Do not use the development mode setting on production servers because it is not designed to produce optimal runtime performance. In the administrative console, navigate to Servers > Server Types > WebSphere application servers > server_name > Configuration. Ensure that the Run in development mode check box is clear.
Server profiles can also be created with production or development templates. Use production profile templates for production servers.
