Hello,

 

When I Build a specific PBD with 'Build Runtime Library' option (Incremental Build Type) in PB 12.5 - it takes 15 min.

When I Build the same PBD with 'Build Runtime Library' option (Incremental Build Type) in PB 19 - it takes 30 min.

 

(not the same machine)

 

What can be the reason for this?

 

Regards,

Marina

Hi,

i have speed up the PB2019 build process with some antivir (Win10 Defender) rules to irgnore PBL,PBD,PBR fileextensions.

1. One machine might faster than the other.

2. + Powerbuilder is getting slower and slower it seems.

I never do incremental builds, as they're not as good as full builds and they don't seem to be faster at all in any way. In the past, I even found incremental builds to be slower than full builds. Edit: from now on, I am going to do incremental builds too!

When trying to build a single PBD, I get it, there's no other way than doing it incrementally.

How big is your PBL file by the way?

are you using orcascript to build single pbds? That is a lot faster than doing it via the IDE

Myself I hardly ever generate a single pbd, but it is a very good idea to use orcascript though.

I do a lot of single pbd builds - patch releases as well as customizations for customers. Orcascript or powergen are the only reliable ways to build single pbds - although haven't tried the ide method since appeon. once you have the build scripts setup, it was easier and faster than the old ide way we used to use.

There is at least one other thread in this forum where the issue is WHY is the PB2019 R3 VM is so VERY much slower than the PBv12.x VM.

So far, no one has come up with a reason for this, but many people have noticed the same thing. This became obvious to us in our Bill Production processing, where 2019 was 5 times slower than PBv12. Others have found other areas in which the speed of PB2019 lags significantly behind PBv12.x.

Hi Marina;

  Unless you build the same PBD on the same machine it's really hard to say / compare.

  My suggestion though first would be to "optimize" your PB 2019 application PBLs & then try again.

Regards ... Chris

This is why the Build Runtime window and the Project Painter should have None as a rebuild option.

I don't understand what you mean by a "None" rebuild option, Roland.

None would cause it to generate the PBD without performing a rebuild of any kind.
