Migrating from PowerBuilder 6.5 to PowerBuilder 8.0We are doing a feasibility study of migrating a PFC based
PowerBuilder Application from v6.5 to v8.0. This application is
heavily PFC depended and also includes many custom based core layers.
If anybody has done (PFC based) powerbuilder migration prior kindly suggest
the best approach on the following.
1) How to successfully migrate from PowerBuilder 6.5/PFC - PowerBuilder 8.0/PFC.
2) How to fix/resolve post migration errors etc... .
Any help or suggestion will be appreciated.
Thanks and Regards

PowerBuilder 6.5 to Powerbuilder 9.0.1Hello,
We are having some issues while trying to upgrade from PB
6.5 to PB 9.0.1 The database is Sybase .I was hoping if you
could post in any usergroups
Background:
There is a window w_child inherited from w_parent.The
datasource of this dw_1 is a Stored Procedure that runs in
Sybase ASE 12.5
In ue_1 of w_parent there is a dw_1.retrieve(arg1,arg2).
ue_1 of w_child extends ue_1of w_parent. In ue_1 of w_child
the code checks the condition dw_1.rowcount() >0 based on
which it decides on the execution flow.
Issue:
While running the application, no rows are getting

PowerBuilder Upgrade 5.0 -> 6.0/6.5 for PowerFrame?Has anyone upgraded PowerFrame (Metasolv's old framework) from PB 5.0
to PB 6.0/6.5? Did you run into any major problems? ANY upgrade
advice (PowerFrame or not) would be appreciated. Should I just wait
for 7.0? What's the latest on its release?
Please respond here or email to eleuschner@levi.com.
Thanks in advance,
Ellen
(The last living person not using PFC. IT'S NOT MY CHOICE!)
Ellen,
Have you tried calling MetaSolv? I know that they dropped support for
PowerFrame in favor of Cornerstone but they may still be willing to help.

Powerbuilder 5.0.4 and migrating to SQL 7.0We will be migrating from SQL 6.5 to 7.0. Does this require a recompile
of Powerbuilder applications, or just pointing to the new (7.0) database
in the .ini file? Any other suggestion and/or hints would be greatly
appreciated.
PB5 will not work with SQL 7.0. One person has said they got it working
fine but the general experience, and Sybase's position, is that you need to
upgrade to PB6.5 or 7.0

The Complexity and Effort to Upgrade from PowerBuilder 5.0 to PowerBuilder 9.0All,
I am looking for any information you would have on the
Complexity and Effort to Upgrade from PowerBuilder 5.0 to
PowerBuilder 9.0.
We are scoping out initial effort estimate documents and
workplans.
thanks-

I would start by searching this ng. Many folks have replied to questions
regarding migrations from 8 to 9, 7 to 9, 6 to 9 etc. The notes may not
answer all your questions but still should give you some valuable insight

procedures that the application has. My database remains the
same.(SYBASE).

Moving from PowerBuilder 6.5 to PowerBuilder 10Hi,
I have an application developed in PB6.5 and due to changing
requirements application has to be switched to PB10.
There when I am trying to regenerate the contents of my PBL,
it is giving error stating:
C0042 : cannot compile without valid database signon.
This error is coming for few windows but not for the
functions I have made in my pbl. It is working perfectly
fine for pb6.5.
Can you please help me on this.
Thanks in advance.

ASA and PowerBuilder 6.0, 6.5, or 7.0 I am currently running PB 5.0 with an Oracle 7.3 database. However,
there is a great
demand for our remote users to gain access to the app. Therefore, I was
looking into
using ASA to deploy to our remote users. The problem is that stored
procedures are not
supported with the run-time version of the database engine that gets
deployed with the
deployment kit. My question is: Does PB 6.0, 6.5, or 7.0 and/or
deployment kit allow
the run-time engine to support stored procedures. If not, what are some
alternatives?
Any guidance will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

PowerBuilder 4 to 6.5 Migration #2hi there!
My company has a huge PowerBuilder 4.0 application which we need to
migrate to 6.5. Are there any automated tools or information on how the
migration can be best handled?
thks
CK Kee
Hi,
AFAIK, there is no automated tool for migrating. You have to do this
yourself using the new PB 6.5. Make a backup of your old PB4 app, regenerate
all your sources in PB4/ optimize libraries etc. Then open this app in PB6.5
and the migration starts...
I believe that a faxback document on migrating is available. Let me

10.5 is considered a major release, you would need to purchase an
upgrade.
This is what I found on Sybase's own eshop:

Adnan,
Is this a SQL Anywhere question?
If not, you have posted to the wrong forum.
