Our Client is using PowerBuilder 2019 Build# 2170 for an application. We are going to perform couple of migrations one at a time 1) migrating from 32 bit to 64 bit deployment 2) migrating from PB 2019 to PB 2021. While going through the documentation, i see that NO robust support from Appeon before PB 2022 versions in Introduction page of documentation so which migration can be chosen first to move forward to achieve both of the migrations? Based on that, I will inform the same to client to follow.

Why PB 2021 and not PB 2022?

Hi Dinesh;

  Either one can be done first. It's up to you priority wise which one to do first. I would hint though that the 64bit task might be the more involved depending on your App's use of SDK calls, 3rd party DLLs and/or OCX controls. HTH 

Regards ... Chris

FWIW, I agree with Chris.

Just out of curiosity and if you do not mind my asking, why does your customer want to migrate their app to 64-bit?

You should be aware that using the PB debugger on a 64-bit app was not possible in prior releases, but is now in PB 2022 (Thank you, Appeon!) I strongly recommend you carefully read through the "Migrating 32-bit Applications to 64-bit" guide before starting the bitness migration. Here's a link to it (for PB 2022):

Chris and John are right: THOROUGHLOY migrate and test your application >>> BEFORE <<< trying to move to a 64 bit exe.
