How eClient Applications and Library Cabinet Files Are Deployed
Each OpenROAD eClient application, with its library cabinet files, is packaged into a single CAB file. This enables the application to be downloaded automatically. Basic deployment consists of the following steps:
1. Create an HTML page that references the OpenROAD eClient runtime and your application, using HTML OBJECT tags.
2. Install the HTML page, the eClient runtime CAB, and your application CAB on your web server.
3. Open the HTML page in Internet Explorer on the client workstation.
The browser downloads and installs the CAB files, if necessary, and then launches the OpenROAD application.
After an eClient application is installed, you can also launch it (in Run Mode 2) with the w4glrun utility. For more information, see How You Can Use MakeCAB from the Windows Command Prompt.
