The file mode is a 1C:Enterprise operation mode intended for a single user or a small group of users in a local network. In this mode all infobase data (configuration, database, and administrative data) is stored in a single file—a file database. The database is managed by a proprietary 1C DBMS, which is included in the platform. The file mode does not use a server cluster; all data processing is performed on client computers or on a web server computer.
