Dear all,
I start this thread in order to ask if it is possible to access documentation & supported platforms resources for older PowerBuilder versions (5, 7, 8, 9).
In Infocenter Archieve, I have found documentation for PowerBuilder 10.2.1 -> 12.1
In SAP Help Portal, the available documentation covers versions 12.5 -> 12.6
Any other information will be highly appreciated.
Kind regards,
ilias
Hi Powerbuilder Community,
a customer asked us if a PowerBuilder application can authenticate to an Oracle database via an LDAP server.
We do not even have such a configuration and can therefore not try and before we create a time consuming test environment I want to pass the question to the community. Can a PowerBuilder application log into an Oracle database, which uses an LDAP server. Probably about an OS authentication or something else? Does anyone have any experience with it.
Greetings

Hi Everyone,
We have recently migrated our OS to windows 7 and orcle client to 11g since then I am getting error "Failed to get local NLS_LANG charset ID" while connecting to Oracle using the IDE. I tried to connect using O10 Oracle 10g and ORA Oracle interface as I dont see anything for 11g; result was same in both cases. Can someone please help to resolve this issue?
Following are the system details
OS - Windows 7 62 Bit
PB - 12.5 Build 2511
Oracle Client - 11g 32 bit
Thanks,

Hello All -
We have an application we recently upgraded from 11.2 to 12.6
The PB 12.6 build version is 4091 (Chris - I guess that is the latest release version)
Previously, the client used to save reports to XLS and it was fine for reports with lesser no of rows
As the reports grew in size, they wanted to save it in XLSX format and we migrated the app to 12.6
The reports work fine in our machine, but, in few machines, when trying to save the file as XLSX, the app simply crashes
No error messages, warnings, just a neat, abrupt crash
The users have been having XLSX (Excel 2007 or later) support on their machines, but this doesn't seem to work the way it should
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Krishna
Has anyone got Powerbuilder 11.5 running on Windows 10? For me, the initial splash shows but PB does not start up.
Hi,
I wish to purchase a single licence for PB 12.6. As it (initial GA build) will not run on any of my Windows 10 Intel computers I will be working on a Windows 7 virtual machine. Now, if SAP comes out with a version that does work, or Appeon takes over and releases a compatible version, will I be able to transfer the licence to another (real) computer? Also will it be possible, as some of my other software, to un-register from one machine (my desktop) and register on another (laptop) as long as only one is active at one time? And of course back again.
Thanks,
Gerry.
Hi Community,
I want to know if there is a migration path for .net developers using Datawindow .net in their applications?
Is there some third party products in order to migrate the Datawindow .net functionality ?
Or after the "End Of Life Notice" all companies must migrate manually to another architecture, it is the only option?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Best Regards,
Douglas

PB 12.6 Build 4088
Hi All,
I think I have a bug, but do not know if it is addressed, or known, or I am crazy!
Bug: I am trying to apply a simple Edit/Style/DropDownListBox to a string column in a Datawindow.
It will not work for me.
No, the column is not protected when I expect the DropDownListBox to work.
I have successfully migrated PB 11.5 apps over whose dropdowns are working in 12.6.
Yet starting a new DropDownListBox seems futile.
I've closely compared the working column from a different dw to my new column.. they are identical except for values.
Is anyone else having this issue? Is it me? 
Is there a list somewhere to see if it is known?
Is it fixed in a later release and I do not know about it?
You get the idea.. I need to be informed and act!

Hi all
I have installed Sysbase 12.5.2. The Installation goes fine without any errors.
Now, I would like connect with a Oracle Database 11g 64 Bit, the Oracle Client is also 64 Bit.
a) The PB – Database Profile – is ORA Oracle
b) Server, Login ID(Oracle User) are correct
But, I can't connect to the Database with PB (with sqlplus, Toad etc. form Oracle everything works fine)
The error Message is: Oracle Library OCI.DLL could not be loaded
Trace Log:
/*---------------------------------------------------*/
/* 08.11.2014 14:09 */

(30ffcb8): SHUTDOWN DATABASE INTERFACE:(DBI_SHUTDOWN_INTERFACE) (0.002 MS / 257003.965 MS)
Question: Is PB 11.5.2 not usable with Oracle Client 64 Bit or what's the problem with the connection?
thanks for feedback
regards

I am trying to copy rows from one datawindow to another. The source window has 19 rows in it, but when I update the destination window it only produces 1 Insert statement. Can anyone tell me why its not working or how to debug.
Here's the code:
uo_transaction ltran_Transact
string ls_SQLAnyConnectString
ls_SQLAnyConnectString = "ConnectString = 'DSN=dbbasesqlany;UID=" + is_DbLogon + ";PWD=" + is_DbPwd + " ' "

ltran_Transact.DBMS = "ODBC"
ltran_Transact.dbParm = ls_SQLAnyConnectString
CONNECT USING ltran_Transact;
IF ltran_Transact.SQLError() THEN
ltran_Transact.SetSQLError("Error connecting transaction to ~""+ltran_Transact.DBMS+"~"")
RETURN FAILED

I have a PB Classic 11.5 application for which I need to use REST Services. I know very little about how to do this. Bruce Armstrong's YouTube video published on Dec 7, 2012 (SAP D&T Academy - How to Use Non-Visual .NET Assemblies in PowerBuilder Classic Win32 Apps) was very helpful to me in creating the .NET assembly. If I create a "WPF Window Application" in PB .NET 12.6, my REST Client Proxy works fine.
But when I create a PB .NET 12.6 Assembly project and try to use in with my PB Classic 11.5 application I am having issues. Specifically, I am getting error code -3: "Object could not be created" when using myOLEObject.ConnectToNewObject("my.class"). If I use myOLEObject.ConnectToObject("", "my.class"), I get error code -5: "Ca not connect to the currently active object." I am assuming that "Ca not" is really "Cannot". I used RegAsm to register the assemblies. I have tried both placing the assemblies in the GAC with strong names for the DLLs and using the assemblies as local files without strong names, and many countless other things that I cannot even remember now.
I have spent several days doing Google searches. Part of my problem may be not knowing the proper terminology to use for my searches. I even found the same question being asked on the old Sybase Forums about 8 years ago, but no one provided a final answer. I have also privately emailed Bruce requesting a link to his source code used in the video. While I am waiting for his response, I continued doing Google searches and decided to ask the question here.
Thank you for your help. (This is my first question on SAP community.)
