IBM App Connect Enterprise, Version 11.0.0.2 Operating Systems: Windows, Linux


IBM App Connect Enterprise features

Some features of IBM® App Connect Enterprise have specific requirements, such as a specific mode of operation or the availability of an additional product, such as a database or access to WebSphere® MQ. Additional terms and conditions also apply to the use of some IBM App Connect Enterprise features, including the requirement for other product licenses.

If you intend to use any of the IBM App Connect Enterprise features that require MQ functionality, you can install and use WebSphere MQ within the terms of your IBM App Connect Enterprise license. For more information about using WebSphere MQ with IBM App Connect Enterprise, see Installing IBM MQ.

You can choose the mode of operation for your integration servers based on the functionality and capacity that you require:

You can also choose to run your integration server in developer mode, in which all features are enabled, but you can use the product for evaluation, development, and test purposes only. Developer Edition is limited to one message (transaction) per second at the message flow level. For more information, see Operation modes.
