3.3 Using the buildserver and buildclient Commands

Both the buildclient and buildserver commands are available to Windows Server systems; however, only the buildclient command is available to Windows desktop systems, meaning that only Tuxedo application clients can be built on a Windows desktop system. For more information about the build commands, see buildclient(1)and buildserver(1)in Oracle Tuxedo Command Reference.

There are differences between how the options to the buildclient and buildserver commands work on non-integrated development environments and on integrated development environments, as indicated in the following table.
