If you’re not sure if you’re using local analysis mode or distributed analysis
mode, look at the title bar in the dialog box for accessing data files. If the title of
the dialog b
ox contains the word Remote (as in
Open Remote File), or if the text
Remote Server: [server name] appears at the top of the dialog box, you’re using
distributed analysis mode.
Note:Thisa
ffects only dialog boxes for accessing data files (for example, Open Data,
Save Data, Open Database, and Apply Data Dictionary). For all other file types (for
example, Viewer files, syntax files, and script files), the local view is always used.

Availability of Procedures in Distributed Analysis Mode
In distributed analysis mode, only procedures installed on both your local version
andtheversionontheremoteserverare available. You cannot use procedures
installe
d on the server that are not also installed on your local version, and you
cannot use procedures installed on your local version that are not also installed on
theremoteserver.
While th
e latter situation may be unlikely, it is possible that you may have optional
components installed locally that are not available on the remote server. If this is the
case, switching from your local computer to a remote server will result in the removal
of the af
fected procedures from the menus, and the corresponding command syntax
will result in errors. Switching back to local mode will restore all affected procedures.
