Installing Thin Client Components

An application running in JADE thin client mode requires:

Only a limited number of libraries.

For details about selecting the JADE set-up Presentation Client installation option, see "Selecting the Type of Installation" and "Selecting the Components to Install", in Chapter 1 of the JADE Installation and Configuration Guide.

The presentation client files are also installed as part of the set-up default Development installation (which installs the development and application runtime environment and the JADE thin client application server and presentation client files) or as a selected component of the Custom installation option.
A presentation client jade.exe command line set-up that differs from that of a standard JADE installation.
Installation of the application server executable program (jadapp).

The application server is installed as part of the JADE set-up default Development installation option; that is, development and application runtime environments and the JADE thin client application server and presentation client files are installed.

The application server files are also installed as part of the set-up Runtime installation option and as a selected component of the Custom installation option. For details, see "Selecting the Type of Installation", in Chapter 1 of the JADE Installation and Configuration Guide.
The JADE server node that contains the JADE database requires a slight increase in memory (for details about the recommended memory requirements, see "Minimum Hardware Requirements for Machines Hosting a JADE Database", in Chapter 1 of the JADE Installation and Configuration Guide.)

For details about the JADE initialization file [JadeAppServer] and [JadeThinClient] sections that enable you to configure JADE thin clients, see "JADE Thin Client Sections", in the JADE Initialization File Reference. For details about upgrading a 32-bit presentation client connecting to a 64-bit application server, see "Automatic Download Issues and Considerations", in Appendix B.
