This chapter provides a basic overview of Builder and Runtime in order to configure and deploy a migrated application to Windows Runtime platform.
Builder and Runtime functions assume that you have set up compulsory user accounts for security purposes. Refer to Preparing for Security for more information.
The Runtime was initially run on a Windows COM+ environment. Lightweight protocol adapters have replaced previous Runtime gateways. Since object pooling is available, protocol adapters can communicate directly with the COM+ application. Although this is a significant advantage, the flexibility of COM+ applications is such that you can choose to bypass protocol adapters altogether by making COM calls or using a scripting language, such as VBScript.
