The traditional thick client of 1C:Enterprise 8.2 can be used in the regular (used in 1C:Enterprise ver. 8.0 and 8.1) application model and with managed application.
In order to run thick client in managed application mode one should specify ’Main run mode’ property as ’managed application’.
Definition of the main operation mode for a configuration
In addition, the operation mode can be specifically set for a particular user:
Running in regular mode a thick client is executed the same way as before. The global command interface was not changed; it is based on the interfaces described in the configuration with Interface metadata objects. The user interface model also remains the same (MDI).
Both regular and managed forms are available in the both modes. Appearance of auto-generated forms depends on the operation mode: managed forms for managed application mode, and regular forms — for traditional mode.
Running in managed application mode, thick client can operate in both file-server mode and client-server mode. In file-server mode, all functionality is executed in the client application. In client-server mode, a part of functionality is executed partly on the client side, and partly on the server side. Distribution of functionality parts between client and server is the same as for thin and Web-client. Regular forms are executed entirely on the client side.
