PowerBuilder components on EAServer

To run PowerBuilder components in EAServer, the runtime libraries for the version and build number of PowerBuilder in which the components were developed must be available on the server. When you install a maintenance release of PowerBuilder and deploy new or updated components to EAServer, make sure that the PowerBuilder VM on the servers is also updated.

The files listed in Table 36-14 are required on the EAServer host on which components generated in PowerBuilder will run. If PowerBuilder components do not use a feature or database interface listed in the table, the file does not need to be installed on the server. The PowerBuilder VM also requires the EAServer libjcc file and its dependent files. In the UNIX column of the table, ext represents the platform-specific extension for library names; for example, on Solaris this file is libpbvm125x.so.

On Windows

You can use the PowerBuilder VM installer, available in the PBVM folder on the DVD, to install the files listed in Table 36-14. The PBVM setup program also installs the PowerBuilder 12.5 version of the Web DataWindow server component (HTMLGenerator125) and the PBDebugBroker125 component required for remote debugging.

You can use other database drivers with EAServer components, but you must use one of the drivers listed in the table above if you want to take advantage of EAServer support for transaction management and instance pooling.

On UNIX

If the files listed in Table 36-14 were not installed when you installed EAServer, they might be available for your platform from the Sybase Downloads site on the EBFs/Maintenance page.

PowerBuilder components deployed to EAServer on a UNIX platform can have neither graphical dependencies nor dependencies on the Windows application programming interface. The shared libraries must be installed in the EAServer lib directory on the UNIX server. The Java classes required for the PowerBuilder JDBC driver must be installed in the EAServer html/classes/com/sybase/powerbuilder/jdbc directory.

Connection caches on UNIX PowerBuilder components require the database drivers listed inTable 36-14 in order to use connection caches. When a PowerBuilder component uses a connection cache, the appropriate PowerBuilder driver is loaded.
