APAR status

• Closed as documentation error.

Error description

• "Installing interactively with a new installation of WebSphere
  Application Server"
  (https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSFPJS_8.6.0/com.ib
  m.wbpm.imuc.ebpm.doc/topics/inst_cust_lin.html ) in IBM Business
   Process Manager V8.6 had a note after step 6 stating that a
  Process Center needs a production license:
  
  
  
  "Select one of the following features to install.
  
  
  
     -IBM Business Process Manager Server Production License to
  use the server in production.
  
     -IBM Business Process Manager Server Non-production License
  to use the server only for development, test, or staging.
  
  
  
  Your selection is recorded in the product tag for inventory
  purposes, so select the license feature that matches the license
  you have purchased and want to use. There are no functional
  differences.
  
  
  Important
  
  
  
    - Always use the Production License when installing Process
  Center.
  
    - Do not mix production and non-production servers in the same
  cell."
  
  
  
  However, this note was removed from the IBM Business Automation
  Workflow. As a result, if you are doing a new installation or
  are upgrading to Business Automation Workflow from V8.5.x, you
  see a different Important note in the revised topic, now titled
  "Installing interactively"
  (https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SS8JB4/com.ibm.w
  bpm.imuc.doc/topics/inst_cust_lin.html ):
  
  "Important
  
  
  
  Do not mix production and non-production servers in the same
  cell."
  
  This note does not indicate whether to use a production or
  non-production license.
