WebProfile - What is DEV profile and implications of using it?

There is a lot of confusion on what the DEV profile is and also how leaving certain options as delivered would cause larger problems with memory etc. The following resolution explains how certain options in the DEV profile need to be configured for better performance.

There are two options in the DEV profile that must be turned off . They are: "Show StyleSheet inline HTML" and "Show JavaScript inline HTML" both on the "Debugging" page. These options are only intended for use by Tools Support Analysts and Developers to analyze specific problems related to those areas of functionality.

Leaving these options as delivered can place a large drain on server resources.

This issue is resolved in 8.46. Customers on tools 8.44 should manually turn off this option.

PeopleSoft delivered 4 "representative" profiles beginning in 8.44. They are what we think to be good starting points for the 4 kinds of activities most frequently seen at customer sites. They are:
DEV - for application developer use only
TEST - pre-production testing
PROD - production use
KIOSK - production use in a shared workstation setting

PeopleSoft does not recommend using any of the above profiles for other than their intended purposes. Doing so can be the cause of poor performance or security issues.
