Launch key for 1s 8.3 thick client. Publications. What is a “thin client”

16.10.2023 -

The main difference between the thin and thick client 1C is where the main calculations are carried out - on the server or at the user’s workstation. This imposes some restrictions on the use of one or another work option.

In this article of the Integrus blog we will look at various client applications of the 1C system - what does a 1C thin client mean, a 1C thick client, what is it and what are the differences, and also in what cases it would be better to use each of them.

Thick client 1C

If you use 1C in thick client mode, this means that all operations on data are carried out directly at the user’s workstation, and the data itself is stored on the server, where the client application accesses it.

Such a client can perform almost all functions and work with application data types.

The 1C thick client is installed from the general system distribution, where it is listed as a separate component. There should also be no difficulties with the question of how to launch the 1C 8.3 thick client - it is launched by the executable file 1cv8.exe.

Thin client 1C

Working in 1C thin client mode means that on the server, in addition to storing data, almost all program code, requests are executed, temporary files and a cache are stored. At his workplace, the user only enters the initial data and sees the result displayed on his monitor.

The 1C thin client is installed from the 1C distribution kit. If you don’t have it, since you, for example, work with cloud 1C and rent it, then a separate distribution can be downloaded on the 1C website. Be sure to make sure that its version matches the version of the platform you are using.

The thin client for 1C:Enterprise is launched from the executable file 1cv8c.exe.

It is worth mentioning separately that for the 1C 8.3 thin client, the file mode of operation is not recommended; client-server mode is preferable. Although file mode is possible, all code will be executed on the user's computer, which negates all the benefits of a thin client.

As you can see, the main difference between the 1C thin and thick clients is where the main calculations are carried out - on the server or at the user’s workstation.

This imposes some restrictions on the use of one or another work option:

an important difference between the thin and thick clients of 1C - working with the “Configurator” and the query console is possible only in thick client mode
The thick client works using the TCP/IP protocol, therefore, it is quite demanding on the communication channel, since its operation requires exchanging relatively large amounts of information with the server
The 1C thin client operates exclusively in managed application mode, the functionality available to the user is limited compared to the functionality of the thick client, for example, it is impossible to operate with application data types
using a thin client, it is possible to work with 1C via the Internet - the thin client can connect to a web server via http or https
The thick client has a fairly large distribution volume; some difficulties may arise with its installation and configuration - it is advisable that a qualified specialist handle this. Whereas installation, configuration of the 1C 8.3 thin client, connection of the information base can be done by any more or less advanced user.

Web client 1C

Web client 1C- at its core, this is not a separate application, but rather a technology that allows you to work in the familiar 1C environment using a browser, simply by indicating the address of the corresponding 1C web server in the address bar. For it to work, you will need to first deploy a web server and publish an information base on it; also, the web client will only work with a 1C configuration that supports the requirements for a thin client.

The good thing about the web client is that you don’t need to install anything at all for it to work on the user’s device; it can function in all the most common browsers. The disadvantages include limited functionality and the fact that the presence of a web server does not always meet information security requirements.

Which is faster, thin or thick client 1C?

It is difficult to answer the question unambiguously: thin or thick 1C client, which is faster? It depends on the conditions of use.

The thin client has low requirements for the user's device and communication channel, while the system's capabilities are almost fully used, however, work may slow down if many employees use server resources at the same time.
A thick client can require significant power from the user’s computer and a good data transmission channel, while it provides the user with a certain autonomy; its operation is not affected by how many people are simultaneously working with the system, whether there is an Internet connection, etc.

Therefore, before selecting and setting up a 1C client, it is advisable to analyze who and how uses 1C in your company, and what types of 1C clients you will need.

If this is an accounting department located in an office, which can be provided with sufficiently powerful computers and it is easy to organize their administration, if all these computers are connected to a local network, then a thick client will be more convenient.
If your employees often have to work remotely, via the Internet, because they have frequent business trips or are simply in other cities, because this is the infrastructure of your company, if they use low-power laptops or other mobile devices, then setting up a thin client will suit them 1C.

Updating 1C clients

And finally, a few words about how 1C clients are updated:

Thin client updates can be performed automatically via the Internet,
updates for the thick client must be downloaded from the 1C website or.

If you have questions about choosing a 1C client, installing, configuring, updating, or administering 1C software products, you can contact the specialists of the Integrus company or look at the section of our company’s blog with instructions and recommendations on 1C topics.

Users of the service can work with applications not only in a web browser, but also in the 1C:Enterprise thin client.

This article will tell you how to install and use a thin client on a computer running the Windows operating system.

1. Determining the required version of the thin client

First you need to determine which version of the thin client you need.

2. Download the thin client

Download the required version of the thin client. Here are links to download thin client installation programs for those used in the service website versions of the 1C:Enterprise 8 platform and various versions of Windows:

A 64-bit thin client should only be installed if recommended by your service organization or service support line.

If the Internet browser does not ask where to place the downloaded file, the file will be saved in the folder designated in the default browser settings. Typically this folder is called Downloads or Downloads.

Automatic updating of the thin client under Windows XP and Windows Vista does not work. Therefore, you will have to install a new version of the thin client every time you update the version of the 1C:Enterprise platform in the service. This is not very convenient and we recommend that you consider upgrading to a more modern operating system.

3. Installing a thin client

Install the thin client using the downloaded installation file:

4. Setting up the thin client

For the convenience of working with the 1C:Enterprise 8 thin client, it is recommended to enable the mode for displaying a list of infobases in the form of a tree (this only needs to be done once):

Launch the thin client.
Click in the window Launch 1C:Enterprise button Setting...
Check box Display as a tree.
Press the button OK.

After this, the group will be located in the list of thin client infobases website with points.

The first thing you need to do is extract the thin client distribution from the archive. In the unpacked folder, find the installation file “setup.exe” with the 1C logo and run it. Select the default folder that the installer offers you (by default, this folder is C:/Program files/1cv82/), you can also select your own folder. After installation is complete, a shortcut “1C: Enterprise” or “1C: Enterprise” should appear on the desktop. Launch it. It may take a few seconds for the program to launch.

You can read how to download the thin client distribution.

Adding a new database

If 1C mode was already installed on your computer, the mode will automatically find the path to the database. If you install the mode for the first time, the list of databases will be empty and a window will appear on the screen asking you to add to the list information base.

Rice. 1

When you click on the “Yes” button, a window with two options “Create a new information base” and “Add an existing one to the list” should appear in front of you; you need to select the second option. If you used the services of a company to develop a 1C information base for you to manage an online store, then this company will provide you with the name of the database of your online store when concluding an agreement.

Rice. 2

In the information base name line, you indicate the name of your database, for example, “Working database”. In the type of database location, three options will be offered; you need to select “On a web server”. In the next window, in the top line, specify the path to the database, for examplehttp://mit.paas1c.ru/database_name. Next, select the option “Do not use proxy”, authentication method - select automatically.

Rice. 3

In the next “Launch Options” window, in the authentication option specify “Select automatically”, connection speed - “Select at startup”, main launch mode - “Thin Client”, version 1C: Enterprise - 8.2.

Rice. 4

Installation of the distribution kit for working in Thin Client mode and adding the existing infobase has been successfully completed.

If you are updating your client, then selecting the default folder is a desirable option. You can manually select the client location path if you are installing it for the first time.

If you are using a proxy, simply provide your address and login.

This article will discuss in detail the algorithm for installing the client part of the 1C:Enterprise system. 8.3 (for versions 8.2 , 8.1 And 8.0 The installation algorithm is similar to the one about installing the 1C:Enterprise system 7.7 I wrote) in operating systems of the . Typical options for the operation of 1C:Enterprise are considered, and a brief description of all components of the system will be provided.

0. Basic information about the 1C:Enterprise system

The 1C:Enterprise system is a set of software modules designed for the development and use of application solutions ( configurations) - on accounting and automation of economic activities of enterprises. The software modules of the 1C:Enterprise system are universal and can work with any configuration. R Working with information bases is possible as in file, and in client-server option.

In the case of working with a file information base, the database files are located either directly on the computer of the user working in the program “1C:Enterprise”, or on a network resource to which “1C:Enterprise” is connected to work with the information base. The figures below show the most common scenarios for the 1C:Enterprise system working with file databases.

This mode of operation is only suitable for information bases with which a small number of users work simultaneously.

If it is expected that a large number of users will work with the information base simultaneously, or a significant load on the information base is expected, you should use server cluster "1C:Enterprise". In this case, the database files will be located in a separately installed DBMS (database management system), and the server cluster will interact with this DBMS for the end user. In general, the operation scheme of the 1C:Enterprise system will then be as follows:

I wrote in detail about installing a 1C:Enterprise server cluster in the article. Next we will talk only about installation client application the 1C:Enterprise system, i.e., system modules necessary to work with file information databases or to connect to an existing 1C:Enterprise server cluster. For this we need:

A computer capable of installing a client application of the 1C:Enterprise system running Windows OS.
Local administrator rights on this computer.
Distribution kit for installing modules of the 1C:Enterprise system. This example uses the version 8.3.4.389 . Installation of modules of the 1C:Enterprise system of earlier versions is similar.
or , suitable for the required 1C:Enterprise operating mode.

1. Installation of 1C:Enterprise system components

Open the directory with the 1C:Enterprise installation files and run the filesetup.exe.

The 1C:Enterprise 8 installation assistant will start, click “ Further" on the first page.

On the next page you can change the folder for installing 1C:Enterprise modules by clicking the button Change"and specifying a new path for installation, and you also need to select the components that will be installed. The list of components depends on what needs to be installed. Depending on the distribution type, not all components may be available for installation. If you need to install a component (or cancel the installation), you need to mark it by clicking the icon to the left of the component name (or the Space), in the menu that appears, select one of the options:

This component will be installed on your local hard drive.
This component will not be available.

Here is a brief description of the installed components:

1C:Enterprise— the main components of 1C:Enterprise, including components for administration, configuration, thick and thin clients.
1C:Enterprise - thin client— thin client components only for working in client-server mode.
1C:Enterprise - thin client, file version— thin client components, including components for working with the file version of the infobase.
Server 1C:Enterprise— components of the 1C:Enterprise server (read more about installing the 1C:Enterprise server).
Web server extension modules— web server extension modules required for the operation of the web client and Web services (read more about setting up web access to 1C:Enterprise databases).
Administration of the 1C:Enterprise server— additional components for administering a cluster of 1C:Enterprise servers.
Interfaces in different languages— user interfaces in various languages.
1C:Enterprise configuration storage server— components of the 1C:Enterprise configuration storage server.
Converter IB 1C:Enterprise 7.7— information base converter.

Having selected the necessary components for installation, click “ Further».

At the next step, you need to select the interface language to be used in the future (the operating system language is the default). Having specified the interface language, click “ Further».

Click " Install" to start the installation of the 1C:Enterprise system.

Upon completion of the installation process, the assistant will offer to install the protection driver - HASP Device Driver. It is necessary to install the protection driver only if the USB port given a HASP4 NET hardware protection key will be installed on the computer (the driver installation can be performed later using the menu item " Start» — « Programs» — « 1C Enterprise 8» — « Installing HASP Device Driver"). Leave or remove the flag "Install protection driver" and click " Further».

If the installation is successful, the final page of the installation assistant appears. If you leave the flag " Open Readme file", then a file will be opened with information that seems to be recommended to be read before using this version of the system. Click " Ready» to complete the wizard.

2. Adding an infobase to the list of infobases

During installation, a shortcut to launch 1C:Enterprise will be created on the desktop. If you launch it, the 1C:Enterprise launcher will open with an empty list of infobases and a proposal to add a new infobase to the list.

The next steps depend on the specific situation:

If you need to create a new database to start accounting, click " No"And first of all, we install a standard configuration template, and only then, based on the template, we create a new information base. Read more about this in the article
If you need to connect to an existing information base, click “ Yes"and add this database to the list of information bases. Read the article on how to do this.

3. Installing a 1C:Enterprise license

Software products "1C:Enterprise" version 8can be protected from copying by hardware LPT or USB keys such as HASP4 Net from the company Aladdin , or using a software licensing system. It is also possible to use both types of protection simultaneously. After installing the system "1C:Enterprise" and creating information databases, all that remains is to install a license to operate "1C:Enterprise".

I wrote about installing and configuring HASP protection keys in the article “”
I wrote about the software licensing system in the article “”, as well as about the case of obtaining a license for the first time in the article “”.

Did this article help you?

Go to your personal account and copy the address of the program you need.

The link to the demo database contains symbols with your login. When setting up a thin client, they are not needed and there is no need to copy them. The correct link should look like this: where “gkh-plus” is the selected program and “xxx” is the number.

Download the thin client distribution in your personal account.

Unzip and install the thin client.

2. Setup

When you launch the 1C thin client for the first time, you need to configure it. Launch 1C Enterprise from a shortcut on your desktop. To add a new information base, click the “Add” button. If you already have other infobases configured, you will see them in the list.

In the window that appears, select “Add to the list of an existing infobase.”

Specify the name of the infobase and select “On the web server.”

In the “Specify the address line for connecting to the infobase” field, you must specify a link to the database from your personal account (see paragraph Preparation). Select "Select automatically".
Important(!): When using a proxy server, you must specify its settings.

In the next dialog box you need to leave the default values

At the next stage, you need to set the values as in the picture: select the “Thin Client” item and indicate the version “8.3” in the field.

Click "Done."

After this, you can select the added information database and click the “Launch” button.

Good luck!

Important(!): when changing the 1C Enterprise platform, we will notify you of the need to download and update the thin client.
