servers, or multiple Design Studios can be used to create interfaces for a single
production environment.
When used in production, the data transformation components may be deployed
across a variety of servers on multiple platforms. The mode of execution can be
command-driven, event-driven, or application-driven.
The following table shows the design-time applications as components of the
development system. The run-time applications are components of the production
system.
