Appeon for PowerBuilder supports much more features than any other solution on the market. For example, Appeon supports ALL DataWindow types, ALL UI controls, ALL window types, ALL data types, nearly every single PowerScript statement, OCX/OLE/DLL controls, and even PFC. In a nutshell, Appeon supports the most important and commonly-used features of typical PowerBuilder applications. To see a more detailed list of supported features visit the SUPPORTED FEATURES SECTION.

Yes Sybase PFC libraries are supported. However, the PFC libraries, or any PB code for that matter, would be subject to the features that Appeon supports on the Web. Appeon has taken the time to eliminate the unsupported features for the Sybase PFC and provide this to our customers to save them time. This is called ACF framework (Appeon compliant framework). It is included with the product, go to C:\Users\Public\Documents\Appeon\Developer2013\appeondemo\ACF_Framework\

Yes, other Java Web applications can be integrated with Appeon Web applications. This can be done in a number of ways depending on what you are trying to achieve. There are hooks to integrate at the client-side as well as the server-side, including consuming/exposing business logic via native Java calls or Web services.

Appeon 6.5 and above support PB 12 Classic. If you migrate away from PB 12 Classic to PB.NET / PB 12 WPF you will not be able to use Appeon. Note: when Appeon deploys the application to the Web there is no more PB code. It is 100% running on .NET or JAVA environment and it can be integrated with other .NET/JAVA applications at the server side or client side.

Customers using Appeon 6.5 no longer need to use the PDF printer. Appeon 6.5 now has built-in PDF functionality. You can use the script like 'dw_1.save(filename, PDF!, true)' to generate PDF file without any other 3rd party program, however it is not supported to combine 2 different PDF file.

This is not possible directly via a specific URL, but there is a workaround: You could use the CommandParm feature of PB and pass in the window name they want to default to. Then when the application starts up it reads the argument and automatically opens the correct window. On the Web, the CommandParm is appended to the URL as an argument. But just to point out, this solution doesn't "extract" specific windows out of the application. It just makes it so the user doesn't have to navigate manually to the des...
