For security reasons, you can only deploy compiled application code (known as run-time code, or r-code) to a staging instance of PAS for OpenEdge.

System administrators receive r-code from developers and place the code in the instance-name/openedge directory.
Note: If your ABL application code is monolithic, you have the option to change the PROPATH using the oeprop utility to reference the application externally. This is not recommended because it prevents you from zipping a complete instance and registering it on the production server.
