The Solution Center serves as the primary entry point and management hub for all FrameworX solutions. It provides centralized control over solution creation, configuration, licensing, and execution - enabling you to manage multiple solutions from a single interface while supporting both local and remote access through desktop and web interfaces.

Key Functions:

  • Create and manage solutions (.dbsln files)
  • Launch Designer for configuration
  • Start Runtime for execution
  • Manage licensing and server connections
  • Enable multi-user collaboration

    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

    Info
    iconfalse

    Solution Center is the first touchpoint in the Solution Lifecycle:

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

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