sys_property glide.installation.production value for development instance

[Roy5]

Hello everyone,

We requested an instance clone of our porduction environment into the development environment.  We noticed that the sys_property glide.installation.production has always been set tor TRUE for both our development and testing instances.  Should we set it to FALSE and will there be any effect?

Thanks in advance,

Roy

The only usage of this System Property that I am aware of is the following undocumented API:

GlideUtil.isProductionInstance()

This API is used in the following OOTB Scripts:

Please note that this value is almost always set to true in every environment.
You can change the value in your development instances, but I don't think it is necessary as the default value is always true, and this hasn't caused any issues.

You would need to reach out to HI Support for a definitive answer.
