How Do I Write a Manager Program in Rich Client? (Magic xpa 4.x)
Some programs have no user interaction at all, and no screen appears to the user. These kinds of programs run in the background, sometimes calling screens for the user, and sometimes not. In the Online environment, these programs are Batch programs.
However, in a Rich Client environment, Batch programs will only run on the server. To create a background task that will run on the client, uncheck the Interactive check box. Then the program will run in the background, without any interaction to the user. Since these tasks runs on the client side, they can call interactive Rich Client tasks.
