Several properties are provided to govern behavior across the entire application. These properties do not affect any particular object, but they affect the behavior of all objects created by the application. These are referred to as run-time properties and include tracing, thread control, Proxy server support, and digital certificate management.
For more information on how to access these properties in your type of Open Client, see OpenEdge Development: Java Open Clients, OpenEdge Development: .NET Open Clients, and OpenEdge Development: Web Services.
