Central hub for creating, managing, and launching FrameworX solutions.

Modules → Solution Center | Tutorial | How-to Guide | Reference

Solution Center is where you create, open, and manage solutions. It handles licensing, connects to local or remote servers, and launches Designer for configuration or Runtime for execution.

All solutions are stored as single .dbsln files containing the complete configuration.

How It Fits in the Solution Lifecycle

Solution Center is the first touchpoint in the Solution Lifecycle:

Solution Center ← You are here (Create and manage)
Designer - Configure your solution
Runtime - Execute and monitor

It serves as both the starting point for new solutions and the ongoing management hub throughout the solution's lifecycle.
