It is possible to create a deployable package such that you do not need to direclty deploy from PowerBuilder to the server. It is a feature called Appeon Packaging Wizard. It is used by many of our software vendor partners that need to provide a distributable to their customers completely independent of PB.

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 fail over is a session level fail over. Once you correctly configured Appeon Cluster function, all the session information happened on one member server will be automatically backed up on the other member servers in this cluster. Therefore, if one of the member server hangs, the session will be automatically responded by the other member server. You don't need to re-login to the system.

All data is ONLY stored on the server-side DB, unless "Offline Access font-size: medium;">If offline capability is required, then some data must be temporarily cached on the device. Appeon Mobile gives the developer full control and transparency over the data caching and synchronization. We provide APIs allowing developers to decide what data to cache, what sync strategy to use, etc. (Appeon Mobile 1.5 and over)

When a PowerBuilder application is processed through Appeon, how does Appeon determine which part of the code of the application resides on the application server and which resides in the web page? The file downloading parts are handled on Web Server side; the front PB codes are handled on Client side, and the DB related codes (such as dw, e-sql) and the NVOs are handled on Application Server.

The destination directory should be a relative path to the upload file directory on the file server. ( for ex: the '\\webdev-02\inetpub\PHDOC' is a abolute path).
