object definition that has a child object into the repository, but the child object does not exist yet, then an InterChange Server Express in production mode would cause the import to fail to protect the integrity of the repository. An InterChange Server Express in design mode, however, would allow you to proceed so that you can assemble your integration components in a way that best suits your development approach. Furthermore, compiling maps and collaboration templates when deploying a package to a design-mode server is optional. In production mode, the server automatically compiles all maps and collaboration templates. Design mode is particularly useful when you are importing components from another environment. You may not be aware of all the dependencies yourself, so being able to incrementally import components without the import operations failing due to unresolved dependencies is very helpful. To start InterChange Server Express in design mode, use the -design parameter when starting the server. To do so, edit the Windows shortcut for InterChange Server Express, adding the parameter-design at the end of the path shown in the Target field. Later, when you wish to use Production mode, edit the shortcut again, and remove the -designparameter from the path in the Target field. Production mode In production mode, InterChange Server Express is designed to guarantee the integrity of the repository. It will not allow you to deploy a package with unresolved dependencies to the repository, and it automatically compiles all maps and collaboration templates in the deployment package. These restrictions guarantee that the server environment is in a state in which its components can execute properly. If there were components with unresolved dependencies or uncompiled components in the server environment at runtime then any transactions that involved those components would fail. Although that is an acceptable situation in a development environment, where it is presumed that you are still creating the required components, it is not considered acceptable in a production environment, so these restrictions enforce safe deployment procedures. Production mode is the default mode for InterChange Server Express, so you do not have to take any configuration steps to start it in production mode. If you want to start it in production mode, however, be sure that you have not taken steps to start it in design mode and confirm its mode in the InterChange Server Express Component Management view of System Manager. Changing the InterChange Server Express password You can change the password for the user account that is used to connect to InterChange Server Express. Do the following to change the password: 1. Right-click the entry for the InterChange Server Express instance in the InterChange Server Express view and choose Change Password from the context menu. The "Change InterChange Server Express Password" dialog displays. 2. Type the current password in the Old Password field. 3. Type the new password in the New Password field. 4. Type the new password again in the Confirm Password field. 5. Click OK. 46 IBM WebSphere Business Integration Server Express and Express Plus: System Implementation Guide
