Axiant 4GL thin client execution question

you have to have a separate BP for each thin client and fat client setup;
you also need a separate RP for each case. I had assumed this was already in
place, and this explains a few things :)
The remote build location should point to a directory on the ph server, the
dictionary and compiled objects will be placed here when compiled; to
achieve this you have to click an option - something like 'remote attach'
before you start compiling. If this is not setup it explains why your
attempts to run thin client apps are not working. You also need to specify
the axiant connection to be used.
The RP should have the fields for the axiant connection mapped also, and you
should point relevant fields at the same directory locations as in the BP.
When you see the dictionary and other compiled objects appearing on the ph
server, you will know you are heading in the right direction. Having said
that I have seen cases where the compiled dictionary had to be copied
manually but hopefully this was an environment issue or is a long since
fixed bug.
Regards, Joe.
