Hi,

I need to link my PB 2017 app to a website to retrieve and send data. 

The developer can use SOAP or RESTful API - which is easier to implement in powerbuilder 2017 

regards and thanks

Andrew

Hi Andrew;

  PB 2017 only supports SOAP based Web Services. The new PB 2017 R2 release - being released later this month - will also support RESTFul Web Services and include support for newer security mechanisms as well. So you will have both choices in the new R2 release.

  Both Web Service mechanisms have their plus & minus aspects from their implementation, coding, performance, etc nuances. I would like to suggest that you investigate both access mechanisms from your organization's perspective to see which one suites your needs best. FYI: The bonus with the SOAP implementation is that you could use the Web Service DataWindow. Support for a RestFul (aka JSON) based DataWindow will not be in PB until PB2017R3 coming later this summer.

HTH

Regards... Chris
