Runtime Requirements
This application runs as a thin client. It gets services from an application server, which must be up
and running before any clients start.
Application Server
Clients do not run if they cannot connect to an application server. Instead, a warning appears and
the clients shut down.
If a client loses connection to the application server (for example, if the application server restarts)
a
Connection Lost dialog appears. Click Re-start to reestablish the connection to the application
server.
When the Application Server finishes loading, the application server log displays
Rule Load
Complete
. After you see this message you can start clients.
NOTE:
Clients may need two or three minutes to reestablish an application server connection if the server fails
and goes down. You can also restart clients to reconnect them to the application server.
Server Options
Application server can run from a command line that lets you start up with several options. Consult
Chapter 8, The Application Server for details.
Configuring the Server
Configuring the application server typically occurs during or immediately after its installation.
Application server configuration settings are in
oware\lib in the files
owappserverstartup.properties
and owappserver.properties , and you can edit
