Hi,

I use sharedregister and sharedobjectget methods in my application to make it mutithreaded. It works great in pb version 11 and 12 but no longer works in 2017. I extensively use this feature. SharedobjectGet method has been set to obsolete in 2017 since it no longer supports EaServer. So what is my workaround now?

 

Thanks,

Ravi

Hi Ravi;

  OMG .. these methods should never have been marked as "obsolete" just because EAServer has been deprecated. These methods have nothing to do with EAS (although EAS did eventually support this PB feature). The SharedObjectXxxxx methods are the heart & sole of PowerBuilder's multi-threading feature implementation!

FYI:   I have just sent an email over to our Engineering / Documentation teams about this oversight.

FWIW: I use & even support this feature in my frameworks. In fact, I was just using it for a new framework feature enhancement under PB 2017 and the SharedObjectXxxx methods are working just fine for me. However, I use the two NVUO approach as recommend in the PB documentation in my implemenation.

 

HTH

Regards ... Chris

Hi Ravi;

   FYI: I just heard back from Engineering and our Documentation Teams and Appeon will be removing the "Obsolete" message from all the SharedObjectXxxx () methods in the PB Help for our PB 2017 MR01 release later this month!  yes

   Our sincere apologies for this oversight!
