Hello All,

We are currently using PowerBuilder 2022 (64-bit) and are working on automating our build and deployment process using scripts.

Our requirement is to create a script that can automatically generate EXE and PBD files for each application in a workspace, similar to what we achieve through the Deploy option in the PowerBuilder IDE.

During our analysis, we observed the following:

From the PowerBuilder IDE, we are able to create classic project objects (.srj), which are saved inside libraries.
However, we are unable to find a way to create filesystem-based build projects (.pbproj) directly from the PowerBuilder 2022 IDE.
For scripting and CI/CD purposes, we understand that pbc220.exe requires a .pbproj file to perform a full build (EXE + PBD).
Could you please help clarify the following:

Is there a supported way in PowerBuilder 2022 (64-bit) to create a .pbproj file from the IDE?
If yes, could you share the recommended steps or documentation?
If not, what is the official/recommended approach to automate EXE and PBD generation for multiple applications using scripts?
Is manual creation of .pbproj files the expected approach for automation in PB 2022?
This information will help us finalize our automated deployment strategy in line with Appeon best practices.

Looking forward to your guidance.

Thanks & Regards,
Himanshi Tayal
