Hello,

Took over an existing Powerbuilder application, upgraded to PB 2022, but not sure how to produce an executable that can be deployed and run on its own.  Looked for a "Deploy" option to create an executable, but did not see it.  Am I overlooking something obvious? 

Also using a SQLServer database on AWS RDS and will be running the executable from a virtual machine inside AWS that can access the DB.  Assuming that we should still use the SQL Native client version 11.  If something different would be better, please let me know. 

Thanks! 

David

Hi David;

   Have a look for a Project object. It will create the App executable for you. If not, create a new App Project, fill out the app details, (name, type of compile, EXE signature), etc. That will then produce an EXE that you can then copy over to AWS to execute. You will also require the PB runtime. You can create an MSI install for that using the PB Packager utility.

Tip: check out the PB help under "Application Deployment" and also "PB runtime" for more information.  HTH

Regards ... Chris

Thanks Chris! We found the project, but in trying to compile, we find the executable keeps getting deleted as soon as it is created. Not sure why.

Hi David;

It's most likely your anti-virus.

Try disabling the anti-virus before creating the exe. If exe is not deleted, then anti-virus is the reason. In that case you can refer the discussion that happened@

Btw, let us know the anti-virus that you use.
