Installation mode considerations

From Maximo® Application Suite 8.9 or later, you can consider installing and deploying IBM® Maximo Application Suite in Production or Non-production mode based on your development and testing requirements and to optimize your AppPoint usage.

You can specify deployments for production or non-production environments by using the Operational mode parameter option during installation.

Non-production installations can be used for internal development and testing. All applications, add-ons, and solutions have 0 (zero) install AppPoints in the non-production installations. These specifications are also visible in the metrics that are shared with IBM and on the product UI. Users in non-production environments require AppPoints.
