PowerBuilder and UPS Shipping
Does your shipping department have these problems? Extra
charges due to incorrect addresses? Difficulty tracking packages?
How about duplicate entries? If your shipping department is really
ancient, you may even have rolls of pre-printed UPS shipping labels.
Here’s how you can seamlessly integrate your printing function
using PowerBuilder.

PowerBuilder Editorial: The State of the State
Back in 2002, Sybase announced their four-phase approach toward
adding .NET support to PowerBuilder. (…) I thought it might
be beneficial to review the progress so far and reassess what
the future looks like.

Deploying PowerBuilder Applications as ASP.NET WebForm
Applications
PowerBuilder 11.0 supports deploying existing PowerBuilder client/server
business applications as an ASP.NET WebForm application. This
greatly improves developer productivity without having to learn
a new development language and preserves PowerBuilder development
skills. Although the deployed WebForm application retains all
the functionality of its original client/server application, due
to the technological shift in the running environment from a two-tier
client/server environment to a three-tier Web paradigm, some features
of PowerScript will not be supported in a Web environment. And
due to language restrictions between .NET and PowerScript, you
may need to rework/refactor your code to make it suitable for
.NET development.

Tips from Developers Like You
Converting a PowerBuilder 10.5 Client/Server Application
to PB 11 Web Forms
As a long-time PB developer, I have successfully created or maintained
many PB applications for clients and for myself. Since day one,
I was impressed with the ease with which applications can be created
using PowerBuilder. Although I had been exposed to Visual Studio
and other client/server tools, I have always felt PB was the better
product.

PowerBuilder Tutorial: Running the pbtutor Application:
Deploying Webform .NET applications to IIS in Vista
I recently purchased a new laptop. Choosing an operating system
was not any easy decision and challenged me for two weeks. Finally,
I decided to go with the flow. I ordered my first Vista system.
That was only the start of a long and arduous journey and I'm
still trying to get my environment and tools back to normal!

Expert Tip:
How to launch Visual Expert project analysis in a command line
To launch Visual Export project analysis in a command
line you have to:
1. Go to {a complete path of the Visual Expert Installation directory}\Shared
2. {a complete path of the Visual Expert Installation directory
}\bin\Nve57.exe /a {a complete path of the .pad file to be analyzed}
For example:

> "c:\program files\novalys\visual expert 5.7\bin\nve57.exe"
/a c:\program files\novalys\visual expert 5.7\projects\myProject.pad
Visual Expert opens, analyses the PAD file and closes.

How
to integrate Active Directory with PowerBuilder applications
You need to control the actions of Active Directory users
in your PowerBuilder applications?
Our team is currently working at making Visual Guard for PB compatible
with Active Directory.
You will be able to reuse Windows accounts stored in Active Directory
for the authentication phase and to use Visual Guard authorization
features for the creation of roles and permissions. This enables
you to use Active Directory single sign-on process while limiting
precisely what the users are allowed to do. Visual Guard for PB
will offer fully flexible authentication process.
If you have both Active Directory users and Username/Passwords
accounts, Visual Guard will support mixed mode authentication.
Visual
Guard for PowerBuilder is Novalys security solution for Authentication,
Authorization, and Audit – also available for .NET
applications
Enable
+ Rex 2.5: Service Pack I released
Following great feedback at Sybase's TechWave 2008 for
Enable's multilingual and runtime maintenance tools, Enable Development
has now released SP1 with a host of useful enhancements.
There are marked performance improvements, especially when dealing
with computed fields, and support for RTL languages is even better.
In addition, the parser is smarter about recognising string assignments
and it is also possible to mark/unmark multiple phrases as parametric.
Finally, in addition to a host of smaller items, developers of
multilingual applications can now save time by opting for incremental
extraction.
