Use the system status level for debugging applications. The options are:

  • Development.(Default.)

    The system displays any errors in the browser and writes the errors to the application server log. Any JavaScript files will not use the minimized (compressed) version for potential debugging on the browser.

  • Production.

    If any error occurs the browser displays the appropriate HTTP status code only, with no error messages. The exception is in the case of login failures, in which case the system displays the exception. In this mode the system writes the errors to the application server log.
