Wow, how frustrating has the support become for Appeon even though my company has stuck with the product and dealt with the backlash for using Old Powerbuilder ( I dont agree with their opinion).

 

We are using the appeon 2022 and have been using PB since 2.0

We recently have a requirement to develop a solution to interface with another entity and they can provide a .net package that has the web services .

 

I'm trying to understand how we would use it. I wached a video from Bruce and all i wanted to know is exactly what product I need to do them same.

The problem is I left several message with sales, then more messages with support and not even 1 person can have the courtesy to email or call us back. However they dont seem to have a problem trying to sell us on more products and conferences.

Can someone here please answer my question.

If we need to consume .net and build a solution to send a file via webservices which product bdo I need or does the baseic 2022 product have that built in.

Thanks in advance

Richad Carrier.

What Mike S said.  Call the web service directly using the HTTPClient or RESTClient object if you can.

In many cases you won't be able to import a third-party .Net DLL directly because it uses data types or features that the .Net DLL importer can't create a wrapper for.  What you would end up doing (as I did in my example) is writing a custom .Net DLL that invokes the third-party DLL  but exposes methods that are PowerBuilder friendly.  That would require somebody that has some C# chops (or is willing to learn quickly).  You could use SnapDevelop or any C# other IDE to create that.

Hi Richard,

I can't seem to find any support tickets submitted under your name. Can you share the bug IDs so that we can verify why you were not given a response?

And our team checked and the last email they've gotten from you is 2 years ago. Can you please reach out to sales@appeon.com to sort out what's happened to your contact attempts?

As for your query, if you're talking about the .NET DLL Importer Tool, that is available with the base IDE starting from the Professional edition. You can use SnapDevelop, or another C# IDE to create the assemblies and import them into PowerBuilder using the previously mentioned tool.
Here's the User Guide on how to use this feature.

Regards,
Francisco

I used the phone. I left several messages on Sales in case I needed a another product and then switched to leaving messages for support.



Never heard back until I become frustrated.



Do you any answer for my question ?

Richard, there may have been some issue with our phone system... we don't run a call center so often times somebody is tied up with another customer and cannot answer. If you are facing a suspected bug, please open a ticket in the support portal and for other things please reach out to sales dept. by email sales@appeon.com.

take a look at the http client object.

HTTPClient object - - Objects and Controls (appeon.com)

I'd do everything with the http client object rather than consume the .net objects.  But you can use the .net stuff depending on the datatypes it uses.

 

just get the REST api information from the web service provider
