PowerBuilder Reverse Engineering Process

Reverse Engineering Libraries

This mode allows you to select a PowerBuilder target/application from the Target/Application list. When a target or an application is selected, the libraries used by the target or application are automatically displayed in the list. By default all objects of all libraries are selected. You can deselect objects and libraries before starting reverse engineering.

If PowerBuilder is not installed on your machine, the Target/Application list remains empty.

Reverse Engineering Source Files

This mode allows you to select PowerBuilder object source files to reverse engineer. The extension of the source file determines the type of the reversed object.

You can right-click the files to reverse engineer and select the Edit command to view the content of your files. To use this command you have to associate the file extension with an editor in the General Options\Editor dialog box.

Reverse Engineering Directories

This mode allows you to select a PowerBuilder directory to reverse engineer. When you select a directory, you cannot select individual target or application. Use the Change button to select a directory.
