PB crashes while migrating pb application from PB 8.0 to 9.0Hi,
I am trying migrate a pb application from PB 8.0 to 9.0.
It crashes while rebuilding for migration. Is there anything
needs to be taken care before the migrating it to pb 9.0 ?
Thanks,
Mohan
Same as any other version:
- backup
- optimize all PBLs
- run Migration Assistant in destination version; try to deal with as
much as possible in original version
- full build, with information and warning messages turned on, so you
know which messages after migration aren't new
- backup, backup, backup
- migrate
- if it crashes, try again and watch messages to see if you ca...
How to Handel PB Native Source Control When Migrating from PB 8 to PB 9Is there a special process for migrating and preserving PB
Native Source Control History? We are migrating from PB 8
under PB Native Source Control to PB 9. Our plan is to
setup a seperate PB 9 machine. Then, checkout all our PB 8
objects on the source machine and copy them over to the PB 9
machine for migration. Once we get a clean build on the PB
9 machine, we would check all the objects back in. Is this
the correct way to do it?
Thanks,
Bob Olsen
There should be no need to check the objects out before the migration.
I would:

Migration from PB 7 to PB 8 questionThere are two new concepts in PB 8 with which I am not familiar with, namely
Workspaces and Targets. Was wondering if someone could give me a little
direction.
I currently have an applicaiton written in PB 7 that resides in a folder
called, lets say, PB7App. I have made a copy of this folder and called it
PB8app. This will allow me to keep my original applicaiton in it's pristine
form.
The application icon that makes it all run is called ws1 and it resides in a
pibble called ws1.pbl.
Now that I have a folder called PB8app (containing all pibbles etc.) how do
I convert it...
PB 8 or PB 9??We are currently at PB 7 and are wanting to migrate to either the latest
release of PB 8 or to PB 9 sometime 3rd quarter 2003. A few questions:
1. Is PB 9 out for General Availability yet? I'm finding conflicting
information.
2. What is the latest release of PB 8 and is it stable? Any major
problems/issues with it? We're just using PB for maintaining existing PB
client/server apps.
3. Can PB be used on Windows XP or Windows 2003?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks!

PB 8 to PB 9Hi,
We have both PB 8 and PB 9.
Our program is written by PB 8, is it possible to convert it to PB 9. If
yes, are there anythings which exists in PB 8 but is obsoleted in PB 9?
Also, I would like to perform Spell checking function in PB 8, are there any
function I can use?
Thanks

Open a copy of it in PB9 and it will migrate it for you. There's
nothing important I can remember that got depreceated in PB9.
There is no build in spell check in PB8 or PB9. However there are
third party controls, and you can always use OLE to talk to Word and
let it do the spell ch...

We have developped a startegic application for one of our customer.
We've developped it using PB 6.5.1 (on Windows NT 4.0)

Does anyone have heard about particuliar problems about PB 8 ?
What is your opinion about this new version ? It seems to be faster...
Is it stable enough w/ OCXs, etc ?

Migration from PB 6 TO PB 8Are there any technical documents out there that I can use for this

Any document on Migration to PB 8 would be helpful.
Thanks.
It doesn't seem like there's a central place that lists things to watch out
for, specially bugs in the new release. Last month, I sent a question
asking the following but never got any answer. Sharing what I've
encountered so far that are bugs in PB 8. After you migrate, you might want
to check the following areas in your GUI.

PB 6 to PB 8 MigrationHere is my task.
Find a simple way to migrate 20+ apps from PB 6 to PB 8. Any suggestions?
Backup and simply open the application in PB8. It's pretty much
straightforward. If for some reason something doesn't compile, you can use
the Edit Source feature to fix/comment code. Or try to fix the original PB6
code and then migrate again.

Migration from PB 7 to PB 9We have been using PB 7 for quite some time. Lately one of
our larger databases has been getting 'out of memory' errors
during a retrieve a data window in our current application.
Would upgrading to PB 9 prevent this? In addition, does PB
9 increase response times via ODBC (sql server) v. PB 7?
Many thanks.
Joe;
Make sure that the application's client machine is really running out of
memory. May be it's referring to "Out of System Resources". What version of
MS-Windows are you using?
If you are running out of memory, it may also be due to a low O/...
Migrating from PB 8 to PB 11Currently we are using PB 8.0.4 and want to migrate to PB 11.
Is it possible?
Thank you.
It should be mostly automatic - open a copy of your pbls in PB11 and watch
the wizard work.
I emphasize *copy* because while migration seldom fails, when it does the
damage is not reversable.
The biggest change that may cause headaches is that PB10 and above are
unicode - this may affect API calls among other things.

PB 9 to PB 10 migrationHi,
There seem to be a number of threads on this previously, but
having read them I'm still not having any success.
I've taken a copy of my app, our corporate later, and the
PFC 10 pbls. I then migrate the target. (I've tried with and
without the "convert DBCS" option).
The migration completes okay, but when I run the app, I get
"Cannot assign object of type n_cst_platformunicode to
object of type n_cst_platformwin32... in function
f_setplatform()..."
Now, this sounds similar but perhaps not entirely the same
as other peoples issues.

Migrating PB 7 to PB 8Hi all,
I'm in the process of testing migration of a PB 7 app to PB 8. I had heard
before that Sybase was planning to remove the PBL altogether which would
facilitate the integration of PVCS or any other version control system with
PB. As I looked into PB 8, I still found PBLs and PBDs. Would somebody let
me know if there is an option in PB 8 to do away with PBLs? If so, how are
objects stored? I would appreciate any help. Thanks!
Junaid Siddiqui
No, you can't do away with the PBLs. When you set up PVCS and PB, what you
actually see in PVCS are the filename.srx (wher...
