4.3.3. Interactive launcher

<< Prev   Next >>

4.3.3.1. General information

The launcher starts all types of client applications (thick client, thin client, web client), Designer, and 1C:Enterprise Development Tools.

You can click 1C:Enterprise to start a client application for the current infobase. You can click Designer to access the infobase in Designer if the infobase access method allows it. If the infobase is published via a web server, you cannot access it in Designer or click the button. You can click 1C:EDT to start 1C:Enterprise Development Tools for the current infobase in the list. You can manage the button availability in the startup window settings. If 1C:Enterprise Development Tools is not installed on the current computer, you will be prompted to install this tool. You can start 1C:Enterprise Development Tools only interactively from the interactive launcher form.

The interactive launcher uses some 1C:Enterprise components, so starting a client application that matches version of the interactive launcher is faster than starting an arbitrary client application. The interactive launcher can be started both interactively and through the launcher.

After the first startup, the interactive launcher generates a common list of infobases and writes it to ibases.v8i file. This list includes infobases for all 1C:Enterprise versions. When transferring lists of infobases for 1C:Enterprise 8.0 and 8.1, user confirmation is required. Further automatic updates of infobase lists are not supported. During the first startup, paths to configuration template directories from previous versions are determined and written to the ConfigurationTemplatesLocation parameter of the 1cestart.cfg file. The 1cestart.cfg file depends on where the interactive launcher was started from.

The interactive launcher can be started without parameters or with a reference to a specific infobase.

4.3.3.2. Starting without parameters

If you start the interactive launcher without parameters, you are prompted to select an infobase.

After the infobase is selected, the interactive launcher follows this procedure:

• If the interactive launcher is started from the launcher or in interactive mode (with or without the /AppAutoCheckVersion+ parameter):
  • 1C:Enterprise version required to start the infobase is determined and the executable files of this version are found.
  • If the required 1C:Enterprise version is not installed and cannot be installed on the computer, the launcher closes and an error message is displayed.
  • Name of client to be started and other startup parameters are determined. The client is started with the specified parameters (including /AppAutoCheckVersion parameter) from the directory of the required 1C:Enterprise version.
  • If the version directory does not contain the required client, the launcher closes and an error message is displayed.
• If the interactive launcher is started from the directory of a specific version with /AppAutoCheckVersion- parameter specified:
  • Executable files of the client must match 1C:Enterprise version whose interactive launcher was started.
  • If the auto client type selection is enabled for the infobase, thin client is started and /AppAutoCheckMode parameter is passed to it.

4.3.3.3. Starting with parameters

Starting the interactive launcher with an infobase specified (using /IBName parameter) is identical to starting the regular launcher.
