5.3 Running the Driver in Factory Mode

If you created the driver in Designer using packages, you can run a driver in the default factory mode.

There are two options for using Factory mode:

  • Strict: Designer removes all customizations and custom configurations from your driver. Custom configurations are new policies, jobs, mapping policies, or other objects created on the driver.

  • Relaxed: Designer removes all customizations but no custom configurations from your driver.

To run the driver in the factory mode:

  1. In Designer, right-click the driver, then click Driver > Properties.

  2. Click Packages, then select Run driver in Factory mode.

  3. Select how Package Manager handles the customizations and custom configuration of your driver. You can select either Strict or Relaxed.

  4. Click Activate to save the selected change.

  5. (Optional) Click the Configure Factory mode icon if you want to change the selected option, then click Activate again.

  6. Click Apply or OK to make the change active.
