I want to develop a website with a web aspect, not a desktop application, and I want to use all the powerbuilder´s power to manage the return and recording of data. What would be the easiest way to develop the front of the web to link it with powerbuilder?
I do not know if I have explained myself very well.

Hi Cecilia,

  • if you want to leverage PowerBuilder only for server-side processing (data connection and data handling), you can use the datastore object and deploy the entire data model 1) right now (PB 2017 R2) as SAOP/XML .NET Web Services or .NET Assemblies or 2) as C# Web-based middle tier (aka C# Web API, but must wait for PowerBuilder 2018).
  • If you also want to deploy the presentation tier in PowerBuilder, you can use Appeon PowerServer Web, which converts an entire desktop application to a n-tier .NET/JEE Web application, with additional Desktop Web Application built-in feature (via the IWA option).

In essence, if you are willing to try asap, I would encourage you to give a try to Appeon PowerServer Web and IWA.

If you want to wait the next major version, C# Web API and Desktop Cloud Apps will be the new rocking features.

Marco

Hi Cecilia,

 

Adding to what Marco mentioned, I can recommend you to also look into this video which can help you design your application to look more like a web app.

 

I hope this helps,

Hi Olan,



 



The videos are embedded in youtube. If you have restrictions for youtube you might not be able to see it. Maybe trying with another browser or from a different computer/network?? I don't have a way to send it to you for download, sorry.

Hi Cecilia;

  If you want a true web look and feel via PowerBuilder and PowerServer Web, you might find this web design presentation I gave useful (based on actual production web apps that I built).

Regards ... Chris
