7 Changes to Client/Server Deployment and Forms Runtime
Client/server runtime is obsolete in fmdev and fmservices. When you use fmdev, part of the upgrade process is to upgrade your Forms applications for Web-based deployment.
Client/server deployment is different from Web-based deployment, as described in Upgrade Client/Server Applications to the Web.
The following sections are included:
Effect on Forms Development
The obsolescence of client/server deployment has little to no effect on the development and debugging of Forms applications.
You can still run your code in Forms Developer without having to deploy on the Web first. Use the one-button-run* facility, which renders a true WYSIWYG representation of a Web-deployed form.
The PL/SQL debugger has been improved to allow debugging in a three-tier environment.
*One-button Run is available for non Forms Builder Only installs only.
