QA Mode

The server runs in either QA or standard mode. You set the mode in the systems properties page of the console. QA mode adds some Quality Assurance services to the server to assist in validating your software. In addition to some extra tracing, the most visible aspect of QA mode is that the dates in emitted documents, where recognized by the server, are replaced with a constant string. This facilitates regression testing by simplifying the comparing of outputs over time.

Your own software can check for QA mode and take any special action appropriate to QA and regression testing. The method

isQA()

returns true for QA mode. You can use the QA check in any exit.
