Single
Sign-On Solution for PowerBuilder Applications
Novalys is about to release the next version of Visual
Guard for PowerBuilder.
Visual Guard is an all-in-one security solution. It provides users
authentication and permissions features (define what users are
allowed to do).
The next version will provide a Single Sign-On solution with
Windows accounts and Active Directory support:
Users log once to start the Windows session, and then can access
PB applications without entering username & password again.
Visual Guard checks whether the current Windows account is authorized
to access this application.
If so, Visual Guard retrieves the user permissions and secures
the application accordingly.
Visual
Guard PB trial version
Visual Guard is also available for .NET
applications
Analyze
your PowerBuilder and Stored Procedures code
Visual Expert analyzes PowerBuilder
and Stored Procedures code.
It provides code exploration, impact analysis, source code documentation,
code review and dead code detection. Manage the evolution of your
applications with Visual Expert: you will save time and avoid
tedious tasks.
In one single click, you can:
Find out where a table or column is used in your code (both in
PB and DB code),
List all dependencies between PB code and stored procedures,
Generate complete source code documentation,
Make powerful searches in several applications at the same time
Visual Expert trial version
Enable
Enterprise makes PB applications multilingual
The current release (2.5.3) of Enable Enterprise already
supports PB 11.5, including DW Tooltips, and
version 2.6 (a consolidation release) is about to be made available.
Work on Version 3, the next major release, is
far advanced with some exciting new features in the pipeline.
In particular, the interface with Google Translation API
will provide a rapid, first-pass translation of all your new strings
(for the multitude of Google-supported languages), ready for human
review. Corrections can be made efficiently, on the fly, using
Enable Runtime Explorer 2.5.
In addition, Enable Enterprise Version 3 will be supplied with
the source code (obfuscated) for Enable Engine,
allowing easy deployment with Appeon and PB.NET
(WinForms, WebForms). This represents an exciting advanced opportunity
to make your migrated web applications multilingual!

& .NET
Applying Code Access Security in PowerBuilder .NET Applications
Like any standard .NET application, the PowerBuilder .NET application
follows the common language runtime rules regarding the permissions
needed to do the operation the application aims to do. The code
access security (CAS) provided by the .NET Framework is a security
mechanism that a real application follows to evaluate whether the
operation or code can be trusted or rejected according to where
the code originates, who signs the code, and what the code intends
to do.

Protecting your intellectual property from piracy, tampering,
and code theft
PowerBuilder 11's .NET support may be welcomed by developers
looking to expand their horizons and take further advantage of SOA,
yet developing in this environment also introduces new threats.
Applications developed using the Microsoft .NET platform inherently
expose the intellectual property they contain much more than their
native compiled counterparts.

PowerBuilder &

How to Use PowerBuilder .NET Applications on Linux
With PowerBuilder 11 Sybase gave developers what we have long hoped
for - the possibility of taking an application created in a client/server
architecture and turning it into a Web application, almost without
having to move the code […]. But when I go to a Linux box
to see my system...open the Web browser and type in the Web URL...
it doesn't even show the user and password window well. Now imagine
running a Windows application in Linux - impossible? No, not exactly…

Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For… Particularly in a means
of moving PowerBuilder applications to the web
What I’m looking for doesn’t require a server license
or the installation of unmanaged code to the web server, and works
well across different browsers (not just Internet Explorer). The
WPF DataWindow will help move us to a place where we won’t
need to deploy unmanaged code. But I’m doubtful that the
current WebForms implementation will ever get us to a place where
we are browser independent.

Tips from Developers Like You
Using MS MapPoint in PowerBuilder
Why should you use GIS (Geographic Information System) data in PowerBuilder?
You can plan a route for a service technician or a sales person.
You can track the positions of the trucks delivering goods and it
might allow you to direct a truck to an additional pick up close
to its route. You can print driving directions when heading to an
unknown place.
