What is thin client and Fat Client

Hi Experts,
I would like to know about Fat Client and Thin client in detailed words.
Thanks and Regards.
Chilla..

Hi Chilla,
     The thin clients are clients that reduce the load on servers.
Let me explain hw thin clients will get works.
     Thin clients are stores,all required library files in you local system,so that the corresponding applications which are using will be used the library files in your local system and it get execute and where as in the case of Fat clients the library files are not stored in your local system.
   Please let me know if you have any doubts regarding this.
Thanks and Regards,
Chandu.

Thin and Fat Client

Hey can anybody explain what are Thin Client and Fat Clients and how they are used ??
Thanks for your reply in advance.
Regards

'thin client' is a program with a minimum of code and need a remote (or local) server to do the tasks
'fat client' is a program (sometimes a stand-alone) with a lot of code and makes allmost the tasks
for examples:
if you build a stand alone application of you own it will be a fat client
if you write an html page with very few java and that page uses google for example, it will be a thin client

Hi Atul,
Thin Clients
A thin client is designed to be especially small so that the bulk of the data processing occurs on the server. Although the term thin client often refers to software, it is increasingly used for the computers, such as network computers and Net PCs, that are designed to serve as the clients for client/server architectures. A thin client is a network computer without a hard disk drive. They act as a simple terminal to the server and require constant communication with the server as well.
Thick Clients
In contrast, a thick client (also called a fat client) is one that will perform the bulk of the processing in client/server applications. With thick clients, there is no need for continuous server communications as it is mainly communicating archival storage information to the server. As in the case of a thin client, the term is often used to refer to software, but again is also used to describe the networked computer itself. If your applications require multimedia components or that are bandwidth intensive, you'll also want to consider going with thick clients. One of the biggest advantages of thick clients rests in the nature of some operating systems and software being unable to run on thin clients. Thick clients can handle these as it has its own resources.
Thick vs. Thin - A Quick Comparison
Thin Clients
- Easy to deploy as they require no extra or specialized software installation
- Needs to validate with the server after data capture
- If the server goes down, data collection is halted as the client needs constant communication with the server
- Cannot be interfaced with other equipment (in plants or factory settings for example)
- Clients run only and exactly as specified by the server
- More downtime
-Portability in that all applications are on the server so any workstation can access
- Opportunity to use older, outdated PCs as clients
- Reduced security threat
Thick Clients
- More expensive to deploy and more work for IT to deploy
- Data verified by client not server (immediate validation)
- Robust technology provides better uptime
- Only needs intermittent communication with server
- More expensive to deploy and more work for IT to deploy
- Require more resources but less servers
- Can store local files and applications
- Reduced server demands
- Increased security issues
To copy only config client , there are few more profiles that you can choose in scc8
SAP_EXBC - SAP_UCSV with cross-client customizing
SAP_EXPA - SAP_ALL with cross-client customizing
SAP_EXPC - SAP_CUSV with cross-client customizing
if it helful reward points are appreciated

Diff between Thin client and Rich client

Hi Everyone,
Can someone give me a clear picture of the what is the diff between Thin client and Rich client.
Thanks,
Krishna

Hi,
thick client (rich client) has/stores all the data inside itself
so it can do application processing without the server with data
thin client uses resources from host computer (from server)
and wihtout that you are not able to work with that kind of client
does that answer your question ?

HFM Thin Client and Thick Client

Hi
can anyone tell me what is HFM thin client and thick client
Thanks

Thick client is the actual application client view. Most administrators limit that view to only them and provide a workspace (the thin client) as a method of accessing hfm. This is because more can be done in terms of metadata and security changes in the thick client than the thin client.

Whats the sand box and golden client

Hi,
whats the sand box and golden client.what i have to do the settings for sand box client in scc4.little bit confusion clear for the same.
Regards,
KiranKumar.

Hi ,
Golden client is the client in which you do all your configurations but no DATA is loaded in this client.
Client settings : automatic recording of changes.All the configuration transport will be created in this client and will be moved to subsequent Unit test or Quality client.
Whereas , Sandbox client is a client in which one can test his configuration prior doing it in Golden client. This client data can be loaded.
Client settings : Changes W/o automatic recording no transport allowed but with no changes to repository and cross client customizing objects.

Difference between Golden Client and Master Client

Dear,
What is the Difference between Golden Client and Master Client?
Thanx & Regards,
Mohammad Nabi,
[email protected]

Golden Client is similar or is the the same as Development Client, which should not be used for testing.
Master Client ???
Note on SAP Landscape:
Landscape is like a server system or like a layout of the servers or some may even call it the architecture of the servers viz. SAP is divided into three different landscape DEV, QAS and PROD.
- DEV would have multiple clients for ex: 190- Sandbox, 100- Golden, 180- Unit Test.
- QAS may again have multiple clients for ex: 300- Integration Test, 700 to 710 Training.
- PROD may have something like a 200 Production.
These names and numbers are the implementer's discreet on how they want it or they have been using in their previous implementations or how is the client's business scenario.
Now whatever you do in the Sandbox doesn't affect the other servers or clients. Whenever you think you are satisfied with your configuration and you think you can use it moving forward, you RE-DO it in the golden client (remember, this is a very neat and clean client and you cannot use it for rough usage). As you re-do everything that you had thought was important and usable, you get a transport request pop up upon saving every time. You save it under a transport request and give your description to it. Thus the configuration is transported to the Unit Test client (180 in this example).
You don't run any transaction or even use the SAP Easy Access screen on the 100 (golden) client. This is a configuration only client. Now upon a successful transport by the Basis guy, you have all the configuration in the Testing client, just as it is in the Golden client. The configuration remains in sync between these two clients.
But in the Testing client you can not even access SPRO (Display IMG) screen. It's a transaction only client where you perform the unit test. Upon a satisfactory unit test, you move the good configuration to the next SERVER (DEV). The incorrect or unsatisfactory configuration is corrected in Golden (may again as well be practised in the sandbox prior to Golden) and accordingly transported back to 180 (Unit Test) until the unit test affected by that particular config is satisfactory.
The Golden client remains the 'database' (if you wanna call it that) or you may rather call it the 'ultimate' reference client for all the good, complete and final configuration that is being used in the implementation.
In summary:
Landscape : is the arrangement for the servers
IDES : is purely for education purpose and is NOT INCLUDED in the landscape.
DEVELOPMENT ---> QUALITY -
> PRODUCTION
DEVELOPMENT : is where the the consultants do the customization as per the company's requirement.
QUALITY : is where the core team members and other members test the customization.
PRODUCTION : is where the live data of the company is recorded.
A request will flow from Dev->Qual->Prod and not backwards.
1. Sandbox server: In the initial stages of any implementation project, You are given a sandbox server where you do all the configuration/customization as per the companies business process.
2. Development Server: - Once the BBP gets signed off, the configuration is done is development server and saved in workbench requests, to be transported to Production server.
3. Production Server: This is the last/ most refined client where the user will work after project GO LIVE. Any changes/ new development is done is development client and the request is transported to production.
These three are landscape of any Company. They organized their office in these three way. Developer develops the program in Development server and then transport it to test server. In testing server tester check/test the program and then transport it to Production Server. Later it will deploy to client from production server.

Difference between native client and workstation client.

hi,
I am confused with the difference between native client and workstation client.In
some docs,it is said that native client is one which run on the same system as
the server,in other it is said running on other machine in the same domain.So
what about workstation client?So can anyone please helpme out in knowing this
difference?

what about workstation client?So can anyone please helpme out in knowing this
difference?The simple answer is that /WS clients are compiled with the -w option.
The complicated answer has to do with how the client connects to Tuxedo during the
tpinit(), and all subsequent traffic. A Tuxedo Domain (instance) has a Bulletin
Board, which is a chunk of shared memory with all kinds of information about Servers
and Clients. A Native Client, since it is running on the same machine that the
Bulletin Board exists on, can directly access the shared memory. However, /WS client
(also called a remote client) cannot access this shared memory. Instead, we have the
WSL server to make connections with, and then WSH processes that access the Bulletin
Board on behalf of the remote client.
So Native Clients run on the same machine as the Servers and where the Bulletin Board
is located, and have direct access to shared memory and other IPCs. Workstation
Clients/WS Client/Remote Clients (all the same thing) cannot access IPCs and have the
WSH do it on their behalf.
In NT, the Tuxedo IPC Service mimics Unix IPCs, and so all the above is still true.

Difference bewteen thin client and thick client

Hi:
can someone explain the difference between the thin client app and thick client app?

Thin Client: Little to no logic on front end. Typically a 3 tier architecture. Example is a web browser
Thick Client: Typically a client-server type architecture where some business logic/processing occurs on the front end

Different installation guide between client and non-client

hello,
i am windows user and still newbie, but i am still confuse. well, make it quick answer for me:
what is different between Database Installation Guide for Microsoft Windows ( non-client i mean that ) and Database Client Installation Guide for Microsoft Windows?
It's same or not?

The former discusses creating the database and the listener, the latter doesn't.
Likely the latter is a very small subset of the former, ie if you install the database on the server, that server implicitly has a client.

Install Novell Client and ZFD client question

Currently I am doing an unattended install of the Novell client and then a
login script install of the ZFD client. Is there a way to install the novell
client and then kick off the install of the ZFD client before rebooting? Or
would this cause more trouble then its worth?
Thanks for the help.

I cannot route to remote subnets from cisco vpn client and pptp client

Hi guys,
I've a big problem, I configured a 877 cisco router as a cisco vpn server (the customer use it to connect to his network from pc) and a pptp vpn server (he use it to connet to the network from a smartphone).
In this router I created 2 vlan, one for wired network (192.168.10.0/24) and the second one (10.0.0.0/24) for wireless clients and I use fastethernet 3 port to connect these to the router.
this is the issue, when the customer try to connect to a wireless network from both of vpn clients he cannot do this, but if he try to connect to a wired network client all working fine.
following the addresses taken from the router.
- encrypted vpn client -
ip address. 192.168.10.20
netmask 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway. none (blank)
- pptp vpn client -
ip address. 192.168.10.21
netmask. 255.255.255.255
Default Gateway. 192.168.10.21
Is possible that I cannot reach the remote subnet because the clients doesn't receive a gateway (in the first case) or receive the wrong subnet/gateway (in the second one)..?
There is anyone can help me..?
Thank you very much.
Many Kisses and Kindly Regards..
Ilaria

The default gateway on your PC is not the problem, it will always show as the same IP address (this is no different when you dial up to an ISP, your DG will again be set to your negotiated IP address).
The issue will be routing within the campus network and more importantly on the PIX itself. The campus network needs a route to the VPN pool of addresses that eventually points back to the PIX.
The issue here is that the PIX will have a default gateway pointing back out towards your laptop. When you establish a VPN and try and go to an Internet address, the PIX is going to route this packet according to its routing table and send it back out the interface it came in on. The PIX won't do this, and the packet will be dropped. Unless you can set the PIX's routing table to forward Internet packets to the campus network, there's no way around this. Of course if you do that then you'll break connectivity thru the PIX for all the internal users.
The only way to do this is to configure split tunnelling on the PIX, so that packets destined for the Internet are sent directly from your laptop in the clear just like normal, and any packet destined for the campus network is encrypted and sent over the tunnel.
Here's the format of the command:

Using both ICWeb Client and ICWin Client

Hello,
Is it possible to use for normal Call Center agent's work ICWin Client and for manager of Call Center ICWeb Client's "Manager Dashboard"?
I mean do both interfaces work on same data from CRM?
I want to enable to the manager of Call Center some real time statistics of his unit's work.
Regards
Radek

Hello!
Technically it is possible, the only restriction is you cannot logon to the ICI at both systems at the same time.
BUT: I don't recommend it. It would be to double the work, the maintenance and the envinronments. You should have to do developments from both sides, since the architecture is quite different. My advice is not to do it.
