PowerBuilders,

  I am looking in to PowerClient as a means of deploying our applications. However, I keep getting an error message like the one below when I invoke the "Build&Deploy PowerClient Project" option on my PowerClient project. I am using the SalesDemo application on PB CloudPro edition 2019R3 Build 2703.  I have tried deploying in-house applications as well and I get similar errors related to opening a global function (e.g., f_set_platform). I am deploying to a local server and have tested the file path. Thanks for any insights you may have.

Did you start PowerBuilder as administrator by checking the "Run as Administrator" option?

Thanks, Armeen. I was able to deploy the SalesDemo on another PC by running PB as Administrator. Unfortunately, our corporate environment makes it difficult to run applications as administrator. But that is a procedural issue, not a problem with PowerBuilder.

You should only need Admin privileges on Dev machines using PB IDE. The users of PowerClient app don’t need Admin privileges.

Ok, I removed the global function and all references to it. Now the application publishes successfully. This limitation suggests that applications that use the PFC must be refactored before they can be published via PowerClient. Anyone else have this experience?

Do you ever refresh the PFC/PFE libraries with the latest/new version from GitHub, or do you continually migrate existing, old PFC libraries when you upgrade PB versions? The reason I ask is that the early releases of the PFC f_set_platform function and pfc_n_cst_platform non-visual object contained code to support operating environments that are no longer supported, such as AIX, HPUX, & Solaris. If you are using a version of the PFC libraries that originates from before PB 12.0, I can understand why PowerClient might "choke". Maybe something to consider and/or examine.

Thanks for the good suggestion, John. We are a little out of date (using PFC 2019), but the f_setplatform version is the same. I can try upgrading the entire PFC and see if that makes a difference.
