Database server
A database server is required to persist user’s customisations to workspace and component layouts.
For production deployments, Caplin provides schemas for a variety of database servers. Contact your Caplin account manager for details.
For development deployments, Caplin provide an example H2 database. The example H2 database is packaged in the webcentric-db-version.zip file released alongside FX Professional on the Caplin downloads page.
