Create a PowerBuilder Project Using a Solution Folder
Purpose
Use this approach when your PowerBuilder source code is organized in a Solution folder structure and you want Visual Expert to automatically detect and map PBLs from the filesystem.
How Visual Expert interprets PowerBuilder solution folders
When you create a project using a PowerBuilder Solution folder structure, Visual Expert
automatically detects any folder containing a .pbl file.
Each detected folder is treated as a PowerBuilder Library (PBL), and all files within that
folder are considered components of the corresponding PBL.
Procedure
-
Select PowerBuilder as the language when creating the project.
-
Select the required PowerBuilder version.
-
Choose PowerBuilder Files / PBLs as the source type for your code.
-
Select Add Folder, then click [Next].
-
Choose the required folder and click [Select Folder].
-
Enable Scan subfolders to detect all file extensions.
Review and select the extensions as required. Click [OK].
-
After the folder is uploaded, click [Next].
-
Enter the project name and description.
-
Review the final project options and settings, then click [Finish].
-
Visual Expert starts the project analysis.
-
Once the analysis is complete, review the detected PBLs on the dashboard.
