Open Clients go through the same deployment phases as other ABL applications.

  • Deploy Open Client applications
  • Secure Open Client applications
  • Test Open Client applications.

Deploy Open Client applications

Open Client deployments require client code deployment and application server code deployment. The client deployment details are addressed in the following topics.

  • Deploy .NET Open Clients
  • Deploy Java Open Clients

Deployment of ABL business logic on the application server is the same as other ABL application deployments. For Open Client developers who want an overview of PAS for OpenEdge, see PAS for OpenEdge overview. For system administrators who will be responsible for deploying ABL applications, see Learn about PAS for OpenEdge.

Secure Open Client applications

Open Clients use HTTP and HTTPS connectivity to exchange data. To protect data in transit, Open Client developers will use HTTPS connections. This requires configuring both the Open Client and ABL business logic hosted on the application server to use the same HTTPS configuration. For more information:

Test Open Client applications

It is important to test the Open Client code against a production staging instance of the application server to verify that application is working as expected with the correct security configuration.
