Developer Studio Architecture

In this section:

Developer Studio Processing

Developer Studio includes:

Developer Studio. Graphical development and code generation tools. Depending on your license, it may also include the Maintain Development Environment.
WebFOCUS Reporting Server. Basic WebFOCUS Reporting Server for local processing, stand-alone development, and access to certain features such as deployment, source control, and Maintain. WebFOCUS Client components are installed as part of the WebFOCUS Reporting Server to allow processing through a local Web server, which is required for a stand-alone development environment.
WebFOCUS Client. A scaled down WebFOCUS Client is installed with Developer Studio. The functionality available is based on the Developer Studio edition for which you are licensed.

Developer Studio Processing

Developer Studio processes requests the same way that WebFOCUS does. To access a remote WebFOCUS Reporting Server, Developer Studio calls a Servlet on a remote Web server.

The same processing occurs when using the local WebFOCUS Reporting Server installed with Developer Studio. Developer Studio calls the local WebFOCUS Reporting Server through a local Web server using the servlet. Therefore, to run reports locally, a Web server is required on your machine.
