The MFilesServerApplication class represents an M-Files API interface for the M-Files server.
The MFilesServerApplication class is the high-level object of the M-Files API component. This is the first object you create when writing an application that interacts directly with the M-Files server.

By using this API interface, you access the M-Files server directly over the network by using RPC protocol. M-Files client services are bypassed, and they are not required to use this interface. Even if the computer using the interface has M-Files client software installed, it is not used. Objects acquired by using this interface use the M-Files server directly for their operations.
Note that features implemented by the M-Files client application are not available when accessing the server interface. This includes the Windows-integrated user interface and the local cache of M-Files data.
You should use either the client or server application interface, but not both of them. Mixing objects from different interfaces may yield unpredictable results.
