Launching Runtime

Runtime will run a published project on a Workstation. There are a few different methods for launching Runtime.

When Runtime is launched on a Workstation, it automatically selects the most recently published project to use. It will figure out which Workstation it is based on the configured IP address. If it can not determine either of these, you will be prompted to select the project or Workstation. If there are no projects found on the machine, you will be prompted to publish to the Workstation.

Launch from Designer

Runtime can be launched from Designer. This is useful if you want to view or test a newly updated or created project.

To launch Runtime from Designer, go to the Home tab and click Run.

Restart Runtime from Designer

Runtime can be restarted from Designer. This option becomes available after clicking the Run button. This is useful if you want to test changes without having to stop Runtime.

To restart Runtime from Designer, go to the Home tab and click Restart Runtime. Changes must be saved in order to take effect after clicking Restart Runtime.

Note: When a Runtime session is launched from another instance of Designer, the Restart button will be disabled, and only the Stop button will be available. The Restart and Stop button is also unavailable if Runtime was launched from the command line, an executable shortcut, or the Runtime Service.

Launch from Shortcut

Runtime can be launched directly from a shortcut. If you need to create a shortcut, in Designer click Create Shortcut. Select the Runtime Shortcut.

Select the location for it and Save. Double-click the shortcut to launch Runtime.
