WHAT IS COVERED?

Below are some examples of topics our PowerBuilder Experts will be able to help you with:

  • Migration to a newer version of PowerBuilder
    • How to migrate your code?
    • Which new features are available within the new version?
    • How to use them?
  • Moving parts of your application to C# REST APIs
  • Moving parts of your code to C++ DLLs (for performance and enhancements)
  • Deploying your application to PowerServer
  • Working with XML files
  • Working with PDF files
  • Using source control systems with PowerBuilder
  • Using ORCA and automating build procedures
  • And more…

WHAT IS NOT COVERED?

  • It includes technical support services only, and does not offer access to newer versions of PowerBuilder. Software updates are accessible by purchasing Appeon PowerBuilder maintenance.
  • The support is not delivered by Appeon engineers, but a team of Novalys PB-experts, independent from Appeon.
  • When answering your question, we will provide the appropriate solution or technique if available. If this ends up being a PB bug, we will still try to help by suggesting a workaround or a 3rd party tool. In some (rare) cases, there may simply be no solution. In all cases, we will report the bug to Appeon. Only they can fix bugs within PowerBuilder.
