The AppBuilder supports a local and a remote development mode.
Use local mode when all of the following conditions are true:
The AppBuilder is running on the same machine as the WebSpeed Transaction Server
Both the AppBuilder and the WebSpeed Transaction Server have the same working directory
Both the AppBuilder and the WebSpeed Transaction Server have the same PROPATH settings
The working directory and PROPATH are set during installation of WebSpeed. For more information, see OpenEdge Getting Started: Installation and Configuration.
Use remote mode when the WebSpeed Transaction Server is on a remote machine, and when either of the following conditions are true:
The WebSpeed Transaction Server and the AppBuilder have different PROPATH settings.
The WebSpeed Transaction Server has a different working directory than the AppBuilder. (In remote mode, files are saved in the WebSpeed Transaction Server's working directory on the remote machine.)
To change the development mode, click the Development Mode toggle button, which is the last button in the AppBuilder tool bar as shown in the following figure.

Note: If you have network or other problems and cannot access a remote WebSpeed Transaction Server, you can switch to local mode to create and save source files. However, you cannot compile source files that contain embedded SpeedScript unless remote mode is enabled.
