Hello John,
You could try something like this to change the execution mode for one VSM:
./VSEManager --vse tcp://VSEServerAddress:2013/VSE -u username -p password --set-exec-mode VSMName --mode LIVE
In this example, I am changing the VSM VSMName to live.
You can also set the execution mode in the project.config file that is deployed with the VSE.
By default, the property lisa.vse.execution.mode is set to EFFICIENT. You can change it to STAND_IN and the VSM, using this project.config file, will be deployed using the STAND IN mode.
Thank you,
Heloisa
