Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
Progress Dynamics Administration

> ## Using static-4GL equivalents of dynamic objects

> Dynamic objects incur two major performance hits:

> - Retrieving their abstract definitions over the network when the first instance starts up.

> - Transforming the abstract definition into a physical object when it first starts up.

> Progress Dynamics allows you to eliminate most of these performance hits by deploying any selection of dynamic objects in your application as static-4GL objects. You can generate and deploy these static object equivalents for all dynamic objects except for most container objects that contain them, all SmartBusinessObjects, and Dynamics Web objects.

> When you deploy static equivalents of dynamic objects, you typically maintain them in dynamic form for ongoing development and regenerate the static equivalents in order to deploy the updated objects that you release.

> For more information, see the sections on generating and deploying static 4GL for dynamic objects in Appendix D "Deployment Notes."
