Introduction to the Runtime
The Runtime Environment is the active stage where a Solution starts and operates.
Executing a Solution, or starting the Runtime, involves:
- Loading all functional modules for execution
- Acquiring and processing data and updating visual displays
- Performing all tasks based on the Solution's configuration
When the Runtime Environment loads the modules' configuration. Some settings, such as network addresses and database connections, can be applied according to the execution profile. Profiles enable the same solution configuration to interface with various databases and devices, accommodating different phases of the solution life cycle, such as Development, Validation, or Production.

Key Concepts and Terms
The purpose of the Runtime Environment is to actively operate configured solutions, executing real-time data acquisition, scripts, alarms, and all items from all modules. It represents the essential final phase of solution development, delivering the application's functionality.
Runtime
The term "Runtime" or "Runtime Environment" refers to the execution environment when the solution is running, distinguishing it from the Configuration (or Engineering, or Development) phase. "Runtime" also denotes the software components and computer processes that are in execution when the solution is started.
Execution Profile
An Execution Profile consists of settings that allow customization of database connections and device network addresses. This enables the management of different environments.
Online Configuration
This feature allows real-time modifications to a running solution without stopping its execution. Users can adapt the solution to changing requirements, enhancing flexibility and responsiveness.
Hot Updates / Hot Reload
Hot Updates are a subset of online configurations that allow the application of offline solution changes without disrupting the runtime environment. They maintain solution stability and prevent downtime, ensuring the solution remains up-to-date with the latest changes.
Build and Publish
The Build process involves compiling the solution code. The Publish process creates a read-only version of the solution for distribution in regulated sites.
Understanding the Runtime Environment
Real-Time In-Memory Database
When the solution is in execution, variables like Tags, Templates, and Assets are loaded into the memory. These variables act as a central point of reference, allowing other functional modules to request or publish values as they perform their functions. The computer process and executable responsible for maintaining the real-time database is TServer.exe. This application can run as a Windows Service or be deployed to Linux and other supported operating systems.
Startup Procedure
For details on the startup procedure review the Runtime Startup page.
For details on setting up the execution review the Solution Deployment page.
- Launching TStartup.exe
- Loads the Solutions
- Reads the Solution Configuration
- Parses Command Line Parameters
- Activates the Main Process TServer.exe.
- Starting the Real-Time Database
- TServer.exe starts by loading solution objects, tags, templates, and assets into the memory. A communication service is established, allowing other modules to start and connect.
- Modules Startup
- The other modules, such as Historian, Alarms, Devices, Scripts, Datasets, and Reports, then start their execution by reading the solution configuration and establishing a connection with the main process.
- Applying Execution Profiles
- As the modules start, they behave according to the definitions in the Execution Profiles. For instance, in Development mode, a temporary local SQLite database might be used for alarm records, while in Production mode, the Alarm Database is automatically mapped to a SQL server.
- Solution Designer Automatic Connection
- The Solution Designer automatically connects to the running solution, enabling users to monitor progress, make adjustments, and troubleshoot issues as needed using the Monitor and Diagnostics pages.
- Opening Client-Side Displays
- Operations displays, using HTML5 from any browser or high-performance WPF graphics pages, can be opened from any remote computer connected to the server.
- Applying Online Changes and Hot Updates
- During execution, the system can apply online configuration changes and hot updates without disrupting the runtime environment. This capability allows users to adapt the solution to changing requirements while maintaining high system availability.
Configuring the Runtime Environment
When developing a software solution, maintaining stability and preventing interference between various stages and components is crucial. To ensure the configuration and development aspects do not negatively impact the solution's runtime environment, use "Configuration and Runtime Process Isolation."
The Configuration Process involves setting up parameters, profiles, and other settings that define how the solution should operate.
Isolating these processes allows developers to modify configurations and test new features without disrupting the running solution, defining how the solution should opportunity depending on the Execution Profile you are running.
Runtime Configurations
Runtime Startup
The Runtime Startup section allows you to Start and Stop the execution of the Solution, specify the Execution Profile you want to use, and customize all settings connected within that execution.
The settings defined here are also applied when the Startup is executed by the StartSolution command line, or starting the solution as a Windows Server. This section focuses on the various settings you have available and starting and stopping manually.

Runtime Diagnostics
This page provides a comprehensive guide on how to use diagnostic tools for project applications. These tools include the Property Watch, Trace Window, and Module Information, which offer insights into the status and operation of different modules within your application.
Property Watch is a tool designed to access and modify the system's tags and internal properties. With an Intellisense feature, it also provides a list of available objects related to a specific object type.
Server And Client Namespaces
There are a few runtime objects that provide information about running the solution.
The Info namespace is the main location for the runtime status. The main objects on the namespace are:
Info.Solution: information about the solution that is running
Info.License: information about the license
Info.Module: information and start/stop command to Modules
Info.Trace(): displays a message on the TraceWindow
Info.TestMode: shows if the solution is running in Test ModeThe Server namespace has information about the server computer. The Client namespace has information about each client compute that runs a graphical interface. See Namespaces for the complete programming reference on runtime objects.
Working with the Runtime
Starting and Stopping the Solution Execution
To start the solution execution, you need to launch the application or server, depending on the solution type. It is essential to monitor the system for any errors or issues during startup, as they may prevent the application from running correctly.
To stop the solution execution, you can use the appropriate command or interface provided by the runtime environment or the application itself. Make sure to shut down the application to avoid data loss or corruption.

By following these steps, the project execution process ensures efficient operation and optimal performance, while maintaining flexibility and adaptability for users.
Configuration and Runtime Process Isolation
In a software development project, it is essential to maintain stability and prevent interference between various stages and components of the project. Configuration and runtime process isolation is a technique used to achieve this goal, ensuring that the configuration and development aspects of the project do not negatively impact the project's runtime environment.
The configuration process involves setting up parameters, profiles, and other project settings, which define how the project should operate. On the other hand, the runtime process focuses on executing the project and maintaining optimal performance. By isolating these processes, developers can modify configurations and test new features without disrupting the running project.
This isolation is achieved through several means:
Separate Environments: By using separate environments for development, testing, and production, it is possible to work on project configurations and features without affecting the runtime environment. Any changes made during development are not reflected in the runtime environment until they are thoroughly tested and deployed.
Containerization: Containerization technologies, such as Docker, allow developers to create isolated containers for different parts of the project. This approach ensures that modifications made in one container do not impact the runtime environment or other containers.
Version Control: Implementing version control helps manage project configurations and code changes. This method allows developers to experiment with configurations, roll back to previous versions, and track changes without affecting the runtime environment.
Access Control: By implementing access control mechanisms, it is possible to restrict modifications to the runtime environment and configuration settings. This approach ensures that only authorized personnel can make changes, reducing the risk of accidental disruptions or unauthorized access.
By employing configuration and runtime process isolation, projects can maintain stability, enhance security, and minimize disruptions during the development and execution phases. This practice allows for continuous improvements, troubleshooting, and adjustments without compromising the project's overall performance.

Working with the Runtime
Working with the runtime is a key aspect of software development, as it involves managing the execution of a program while it's running. This includes starting and stopping the execution, switching execution profiles, and applying configuration changes. This comprehensive guide provides an overview of best practices and techniques for efficiently working with the runtime.
Starting and Stopping the Project Execution
To start the project execution, you need to launch the application or server, depending on the project type. It's essential to monitor the system for any errors or issues during startup, as they may prevent the application from running correctly.
To stop the project execution, you can use the appropriate command or interface provided by the runtime environment or the application itself. Make sure to gracefully shut down the application to avoid data loss or corruption.
To start the Project is production mode,
- Go to Run → Startup
- Click the Run Startup button
There are a few customizations you can do on how the project shall be executed, such as if the project will run in your local computer or start in a remote Server computer, which modules will be loaded, and some other settings described in this section.
Startup Computer
The TStartup (project) is launched on a connected Server PC.
This option is only enabled if the project was opened from a remote ProjectServer.
On Run → Modules, you should see two options regarding the displays affected by this setting:
- If Displays is selected - A RichClient is opened on the project server when the project is started
- If LocalDisplays is selected - A RichClient is opened on local PC when the project is started
There are a few ways to stop the running Project. All those options assume the current user has Security Authorization to shutdown the project. For information on Security, refer to Security, Users and Roles.
On Run → Startup or Run → Test, connect the project <<icon>> and click Stop.
When the project starts running, a startup status windows is presented (TStartup.exe application). A shutdown button is available at that window.
If the menu is enabled on the Operator Displays, there is the option File → Shutdown.
The property Server.Shutdown, can trigger the application to shutdown. Usually, there is a button in one of the pages, security protected, to allow operators to stop the execution when necessary.
| Info | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
| Closing the Window running the displays DOES NOT stop the project execution. All Modules (alarms, devices, etc.) keep running in background; only the Display Module is closed. Closing the Windows is equivalent to trigger the property Client.Shutdown, in opposition to Server.Shutdown. |
Execution Profiles
Execution profiles are a vital aspect of managing projects on our software platform, as they enable users to configure and run projects with different settings tailored to specific environments or stages of development. The latest release introduces three primary execution profiles:
Production: This profile is designed for use in live environments, where the project is fully functional and serves end-users. It optimizes performance and stability while minimizing the system's resource usage. Debugging and development tools are generally disabled or limited in this profile to ensure seamless operation.
Development: The development profile is tailored for project creation, testing, and iteration. It enables a wide range of debugging and diagnostic tools to assist developers in identifying and resolving issues during the development process. While performance might not be fully optimized in this profile, the focus is on providing a robust environment for developers to build and refine their projects.
Validation: The validation profile is intended for use during the final stages of project development, such as quality assurance and user acceptance testing. It provides a balance between the development and production profiles, enabling necessary debugging tools while maintaining a level of performance and stability suitable for testing. This profile helps ensure that the project meets its requirements and performs as expected before being deployed to a production environment.
