Deploying a component to EAServer

If you are developing a PowerBuilder custom class user object containing business logic that will be deployed to a transaction server, there are some database connectivity issues to keep in mind.

For detailed information about the files you need to deploy with applications or components you build in PowerBuilder, see the chapter on deploying your application in Application Techniques.

If you want the component you are developing to take advantage of EAServer’s support for connection pooling and transaction management, you must use one of the database interfaces supported by the transaction coordinator being used by EAServer. EAServer supports the Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (DTC) and the Java Transaction Service (JTS) for OTS/XA Transactions.

The default coordinator is the JTS coordinator.

NoteSetting the transaction coordinator The transaction coordinator is set through EAServer Manager using the Transaction tab of the Server Properties dialog box.
