How Does NY State Manage Its PowerBuilder Applications?: Maintenance
and documentation in the face of frequent staff turnover
Most applications need upgrades and corrections. If you maintain
in-house development you want to be particularly sharp about
this. You can’t afford to lose knowledgeable people to
turnover and be left with no one able to maintain mission-critical
applications. So you’ll have to find a solution to handle
any question, evolution or crisis related to these applications.
Vincenzo Cianfarani, project manager, explains how New York
State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) deals with
such issues.

PowerBuilder Editorial - "There You Go Again"
Back in the heyday of client/server development, the
folks at Borland released a hit piece on PowerBuilder written
by a Delphi advocate. They’ve revised the title so it
no longer indicates that it’s comparing PowerBuilder 5.0
and Delphi 2.0. For that matter, even though PowerBuilder 5.0
was out (and compiled to machine code) the benchmark tests in
the paper were done using PowerBuilder 4.0…

PowerBuilder® Accelerating SOA Development – Part
I: PowerBuilder in the SOA implementation layer
The last reason for which you want your pilot SOA project to
fail is that too much time was spent coding for data manipulation
and data presentation. In this two part article, we’ll
examine how PowerBuilder can give you a competitive edge in
Service Oriented Architecture both at the implementation level
and in the presentation layer.

PowerBuilder and .NET
PowerBuilder® and EAServer Uniting the .NET and J2EE Communities
In PowerBuilder 11.2, .NET meets J2EE head-on with the capability
to deploy .NET Windows Forms and Web Forms applications (as
well as assemblies and Web Services) that access Enterprise
Java Beans (EJBs) in Sybase’s own EAServer. As you’ll
see over the course of this article, integrating these “competing”
technologies is quite straightforward and leverages mechanisms
that have been available since PowerBuilder 7.

PowerBuilder 11's .NET Interoperability : Creating and
consuming .NET resources
PowerBuilder 11 deploys entire applications as .NET Windows
Form or Web Form applications and deploys individual components
as .NET Assemblies and as .NET Web Services. Version 11 consumes
resources of the default .NET framework as well as resources
of custom developer-defined .NET resources. Non-PowerBuilder
.NET solutions can interoperate with, and take advantage of,
the unparalleled productivity of PowerBuilder’s data access
and data manipulation capabilities. In short, PowerBuilder 11
creates as well as consumes .NET resources.

PowerBuilder 11 Partner Webcast Series
Last month the PowerBuilder team hosted a webcast series
covering a few partner solutions. If you were not able to attend
those webcasts have a look below and discover solutions that
help you build applications exactly suited to your needs.
VISUAL EXPERT: Optimize the maintenance of PowerBuilder Applications
and Stored Procedures!
During this webcast, you will see how Visual Expert provides
automated impact analysis, generates source code documentation
and checks code quality for PowerBuilder. In addition, you will
get an overview of Visual Guard, the security Role Based Access
Control system defining who can access your application.
Webcast presented by Anne Bataille, Operations VP for Novalys.

Enable - Runtime Explorer for PowerBuilder
This webcast will address how Enable’s Runtime Explorer
(or simply Rex), a runtime component, helps developers with
their development, debugging and technical support work. With
Automatic Source Change technology frustrating iterations between
runtime and designtime are now ancient history.

multilingual using Enable. Enable allows developers to easily
upgrade a monolingual PowerBuilder program with just a few changes
to the original code.

How
do you secure your PowerBuilder applications?
Do not reinvent the wheel and try Visual Guard a
ready-to-use, non-intrusive solution for application security.
Visual Guard 8.5 is a tool designed for managing user profiles
and permissions in PowerBuilder applications. You determine
what each user can do, see and modify in the application.
The Visual Guard administrative tools allow non technical staff
to easily manage end users, and free the development team from
the daily management of security. Visual Guard drastically reduces
the maintenance of security because there is no need to change
the application code: Visual Guard dynamically changes the application's
behaviour according to the user profile.
Visual Guard supports PowerBuilder up to version 11, as well
as PowerBuilder code migrated to .NET applications (Winforms
and ASP.NET Webforms). Visual Guard also supports .NET.
