Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
Open Client Introduction and Programming

> ## Accessing AppServer functionality

> Application services on an AppServer are organized into physical procedure files. To generate an Open Client interface, you must compile and save the r-code for these files before ProxyGen can access them, even if your deployment strategy ultimately relies on the source files. (R-code is the binary run code executed by the Progress 4GL interpreter.) Once the AppServer r-code files are available, you can use ProxyGen to identify and customize Open Client access to the procedures and functions defined by these files. To make the r-code files available to ProxyGen, you can:

> - Run ProxyGen on the same machine where the r-code resides or a machine with access to a network file system where the r-code resides.

> - Copy the r-code files to the machine where you run ProxyGen (if this is different than the AppServer machine), maintaining the directory structure underneath the AppServer `PROPATH`.

> When you organize these procedure files using ProxyGen, and program the application to use them, you must consider two fundamental features of an Open Client application:

> - The session model

> - The object model
