Client/server runtime is obsolete in fmdev and fmservices.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.
See Upgrading Client/Server Applications to the Web for information about how client/server deployment differs from Web-based deployment.
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.
The following command line options for Runform have been removed because they relate to obsolete features:
OptimizeSQL
OptimizeTP
Keyin
Keyout
Output_file
Interactive
Block_menu
Statistics
Character mode runtime, which was only available on UNIX and VMS platforms, is no longer available. All character mode support has been removed from fmdev and fmservices. See Properties and Logical and GUI Attributes for more information.
