CommandFunctionStatus Indicators
Run StartupStarts the applicationButton changes to Stop
StopStops the applicationButton changes to Run
Online ConfigurationApply changes in real-timeMust be connected to runtime

Note: All changes must be saved before they appear in runtime when online configuration is enabled.

Execution Profiles

Select environment-specific configuration:

ProfilePurposeDefault Port
DevelopmentDebugging enabled, dev tools active3301
ValidationTesting environment3201
ProductionOptimized for production3101
CustomUser-defined settingsUser-defined

The Production profile uses main configuration without overrides. Other profiles apply configured replacements at startup.

Startup Port Settings

Configure network ports for application access:

SettingDescriptionDefault

AutoStartup/Windows ServiceRun at system startupDisabled

AutoStartup Behavior

Windows Platform:

  • Configures as Windows Service
  • Starts without user login
  • Runs under system account

Multiplatform on Remote Devices:

  • Configures in TWebServicesRunPrograms.json
  • Starts with TWebServices
  • Enables remote management

Startup Procedure

Step-by-Step Process

  1. Launching TStartup.exe
    • Loads the Solution
    • Reads Solution Configuration
    • Parses Command Line Parameters
    • Activates Main Process TServer.exe
  2. Starting Real-Time Database
    • TServer.exe loads objects into memory
    • Establishes communication service
  3. Modules Startup
    • Each module reads configuration
    • Establishes connection with main process
  4. Applying Execution Profiles
    • Development: Local SQLite database
    • Production: SQL server connection
  5. Designer Connection
    • Automatic connection for monitoring
  6. Client Display Access
    • Remote computers can connect
  7. Online Changes
    • Apply without runtime disruption
