If you want to create a PowerBuilder object to be reused by other PowerBuilder applications without exposing the source code you would create:
PowerBuilder Classic: a PBD
PowerBuilder.Net: a PowerBuilder Assembly

Understood that. Just not using that version anymore, so couldn't speak to that. Just passing along what I knew.

Have you already checked the Serena Support?

How does it work?
You can send me mails under freund at sf-datentechnik dot de with example, if you want.

Hi Bruce;
PB Classic can create a .Net Assembly as well.

Re: DLL, OCX or PDB ?
Hi GS;
Appeon can use (consume) DLL's, OCX or .Net Assemblies as well by including them in the application deployment profile. I use a DLL and .Net assembly that way via Appeon for MRZ support in my web applications ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine-readable_passport )
You can also use Appeon's great Web Service support to encapsulate that functionality and consume it from Appeon.

Re: How to build PB workspace from source control
Please keep in mind this is not recommended by me; I'm just saying it's possible. I probably haven't tried something like this in 20 years, so no guarantees I've covered all the bases.
- Create all your empty PBLs with Library Painter.
- Create a target to include all your empty PBLs
- Start importing (using Library Painter) object exports dumped from source control
- If there are no errors in the object, move on (you should get a few of these)
- If there are errors (and assuming it was a compiling system before, this is an error referencing an object that isn't compiled yet or isn't complete), either
- Comment out the reference in the export, make a note to come back and remove the comment later, and re-import, or
- Import the referenced objects, repeating the above error processing
If you're in needy spiritual health, this is a good exercise, because after the first couple of hundred error-ridden imports, every import will be accompanied by a prayer, increasingly involuntarily.
I'd rather rewrite in LISP than do this.
Good luck,
Terry.

Re: Powerbuilder - comparing data between two datawindows (datastores)
I'm not entirely clear what you're after. I'm not clear whether your trying to identify rows that are different, or row/columns that are different. Other things that might impact possibilities are:
- Is this for a specific data set or a generic routine against any data set?
- Is this a big data set (will loading a couple of sets of the data into memory cause problems?) or not?
- Is there an expected proportion of expected differences, or is that unknown? (you can compare sets of rows, dumped as a string, if the expectation is low proportion of differences, but if you end up burrowing down into each row because of a high proportion of differences, you'll end up with cases where you're slower)
There's also the possibility of cleaning up the algorithm you've got. For example, if you're using .object. notation to grab single column values, IME, you're almost always better off doing the data type management yourself, and CHOOSE CASEing into the correct GetItem*() function call. The flip side of that is that you're almost always better off, from a performance perspective, getting sets of data out (often .object. can be good here, if not required) as long as you don't blow out your memory.
There's a boatload of possibilities, but a lot will depend on your circumstances and what trade-offs you're willing to make. For example, now that they're in a DataWindow, blowing that data to a database and let it do what it does best may make sense if you're using a local database, but the idea would suck if you had hundreds of thousands of rows that had to travel a sub-oceanic line to a server on another continent. It's hard to say what would be best for you.
Good luck,
Terry.

The future of EAServer
Sybase/SAP have been quiet about EAServer for a long time. Is it yet another good product that will be allowed to wither until it is discontinued?
I have some ideas about EAServer futures and would like to hear what everyone else thinks.
I think that they should go back to the version 5.5 code line, clean out all the Java only stuff, change the name back to Jaguar and make full production use of it included with the PowerBuilder license.

The future of EAServer
The discussion I've heard lately is towards making PowerBuilder components deployable as servlets into NetWeaver. Given that direction, I would expect to see EAServer wither until it's discontinued. They probably don't need to have two application server offerings, and it looks like NetWeaver would be the candidate to continue with going forward. Sorry, but just my $0.02.
↧
Re: The future of EAServer
Hi Roland;
I would have to agree with Bruce's observation at this juncture in EAS's product life. All SAP needs to do is resurrect the "Application Server Plug-In" piece of EAS and make it work with SAP's Application Server (AS) NetWeaver (NW). That would allow NW to host the PBVM and expose NVUO's as a JavaBean or Web Service from inside of NW. At that time - it would make no sense (to me at least) to keep two AS's around.
The EAS architect and original project manager have been out of the EAS piture for quite some time and no new development has been seen for years now either. So I suspect that it will just be left to "wither away" - as you said - as more people look for alternative AS platforms.
Regards ... Chris

Access to EBFs on sybase.com oddities
This just showed up on the PowerBuilder facebook page:
"PowerBuilder Customers -
Several of you have noticed that you're unable to get EBFs - we are working to quickly resolve this issue.
We will be notifying customers through a more formal channel soon that we have had to remove a 3rd party product from PowerBuilder and no longer have ability to redistribute versions of PowerBuilder that have this software.
Engineering has built version 12.5.2 to be a shelf-replacement of PowerBuilder 12.5.1.
As of APRIL 15, 2013, It will be the only version that we can distribute.
We are reposting the EBFs for versions 11.x through 12.5.1 and encourage you to download these EBFs as soon as you are able.
I will post again when the EBFs are back up - should be today, Monday April 7."

Re: Dynamic procedure works in PB9 not in PB12
Note, I'm not sure why format 4 of dynamic sql is being used, as all columns of the result set are known at compile time. In fact it's a return value, not a result set, that is being used. Here's where the results of the stored procedure are being used. So maybe the dynamic sql is more complex than it needs to be? But I can't match the PB documentation with what I'm seeing. The only SQL I've got experience with is embedded sql....
Here's what the stored procedure does
return-101
.
.
Return 1
etc.
Here's how PB uses it
if SQLCA.SQLCode = 0 then
FETCH stu_sp_waitlist12 USING DESCRIPTOR SQLDA;
if SQLCA.SQLCode = 0 then
ai_rv = GetDynamicNumber (SQLDA, 1)
choose case ai_rv
case 1
// successful
// Set waitlist_registered to "Y". That displays a blue checkmark.
etc.
I don't understand how GetDynamicNumber(SQLDA, 1) gets the return value in pb9. In other words, I don't understand the code, never mind why it's failing.
