Good Morning Everyone, 

I need to communicate to a PostgreSQL to update an Informix Database, via PowerBuilder. 

I'm thinking about creating a windows service that will be always executing. Is this possible using PowerBuilder?

 

Resize issue PB2019 vs PB2022
Run function suddenly failing

Hi Pepe;

  Yes, but you will need to use another product along with your PB App to accomplish this ...

For example:

  • AlwaysUp(commercial)
  • Application as Service (commercial)
  • FireDaemon(commercial)
  • Launcher Service (open source)
  • N.S.S.M. (open source)
  • Service Runner (open source)
  • Turbo Service Manager (open source)
  • PBNIServ(commercial)
  • Winserv(open source)

HTH

Regards ... Chris

Do you need to use special option to build PB app ?! I try to use pb App exe with nssm but cannot start ?!

Window could not start myService service on Local Computer. The service did not return an error. This could be windows error or internal service error. If problem persist contact to your system administrator.

Hi Illyan;

FWIW: I use NSSM and it works great for me. Being a service though, you should not be attempting any GUI interfaces.

Added to the great suggestions made, you could do something with a timer event and some pipeline objects.
