Accessibility
features
This document is available in an HTML version that is specialized for
accessibility. You can navigate the HTML with an adaptive technology such as
a screen reader, or view it with a screen enlarger.
PowerBuilder and the HTML documentation have been tested for compliance
with U.S. government Section 508 Accessibility requirements. Documents that
comply with Section 508 generally also meet non-U.S. accessibility guidelines,
such as the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) guidelines for Web sites.
Note You might need to configure your accessibility tool for optimal use.
Some screen readers pronounce text based on its case; for example, they
pronounce ALL UPPERCASE TEXT as initials, and MixedCase Text as
words. You might find it helpful to configure your tool to announce syntax
conventions. Consult the documentation for your tool.

Product licensing with SySAM 2.0
Product licensing with SySAM 2.0
PowerBuilder uses the Sybase Software Asset Management System (SySAM)
for product licensing. If you have purchased PowerBuilder, you have either a
standalone local license or a served license.
For more information about licensing, see the SySAM Documentation at
For troubleshooting help, see “Troubleshooting SySAM issues” on page 28.
Installing a standalone
local license
Typically, you must have a license file to install PowerBuilder on your
computer. You can download a license file from the Sybase Product Download
PowerBuilder, refer to the information provided with your DVD or download.
Evaluation versions of PowerBuilder are usually valid for 30 days and do not
require a license file.
If you purchase PowerBuilder from Sybase, you receive an e-mail with a URL,
your login, and your password for the SPDC. If you purchase PowerBuilder
from a Sybase reseller, you receive a certificate with a Web key registration
number and a download URL.
You must provide the host ID and computer name of the computer where you
want to install a local license when you contact the SPDC. If you have not
obtained your license information before you run the setup program, you can
find the host ID and computer name on the License Key page in the setup
program.
Installing a served
license
If you are installing a served license, your organization needs a license server.
The license server controls license availability and allows you to use licenses
as needed. Using a served license makes license maintenance much easier for
organizations with multiple workstations, since a single license for all
workstations can be centrally managed.
To install a served license, you must know the server name. You may also need
the TCP port number if the administrator who installed the license server
defined a TCP port number that is different from the default. In this case, you
must specify this user-defined TCP port number.
Setting up a license
server
If you are responsible for setting up a license server, you can install a license
server using the Standalone SySAM Installer.zip file in the Support directory on
the DVD. For more information, see the chapter on license server
administration in the Sybase Software Asset Management User Guide at

PowerBuilder Enterprise
CHAPTER 1 Installing PowerBuilder Enterprise
Pre-installation tasks
Before you install PowerBuilder Enterprise, you need to perform the following
tasks:
•
Read the release bulletins for the latest information on the products that
you are installing. Pay close attention to the “Special Installation
Instructions” section.
Release bulletins for PowerBuilder and InfoMaker are available in the
product package on the Getting Started CD.
Release bulletins for PowerBuilder and InfoMaker are also available on
The release bulletins at this site sometimes contain more recent
information than the bulletins on the Getting Started CD.
A readme.txt file for SQL Anywhere is available in the SQLAnywhere11
directory on the DVD.
•
•
Make sure the drive where you install PowerBuilder Enterprise is not
compressed. If compression is enabled on the installation drive, the setup
program fails.
Make sure you have a TEMP environment variable that points to an
existing directory location with at least 300MB free space. The setup
programs write files to this directory during the installation and free the
space after the installation is complete.
•
•
•
Close any open applications.
Back up your files. See “Backing up your files” next.
Read “Required software for PowerBuilder features” on page 6 to
determine whether you need to install any software before installing
PowerBuilder 11.5.
Backing up your files
Back up any files created with earlier versions of Sybase tools. Make sure that
any PowerBuilder PBLs you plan to migrate have been regenerated without
error in your current version of PowerBuilder before you back them up.
Besides backing up your PBLs, you need to back up any files that contain
information you do not want to lose, such as database files, INI files,
preference information, and modified database definition files.

Pre-installation tasks
For additional information about backing up and migrating existing
applications, see “Before using PowerBuilder Enterprise” on page 24.
Required software for PowerBuilder features
Table 1-3 lists the software required for PowerBuilder Enterprise features.
Some of this software is installed automatically when the feature is installed.
Read this table carefully to determine whether you need to install any software
before you run the PowerBuilder setup program, and whether you need to
select SQL Anywhere before you select PowerBuilder. If you select a feature
that has a prerequisite that has not been installed, the setup program displays a
warning message.

Installing SQL Anywhere
Installing SQL Anywhere
Sybase SQL Anywhere is a fully-featured relational database and data
management tool. The SQL Anywhere installation is restricted to development
use only. Deployed systems require a separate SQL Anywhere license or the
SQL Anywhere Runtime Edition (see “SQL Anywhere Runtime Edition”
next).
The SQL Anywhere installation includes MobiLink, a session-based
synchronization system that allows two-way synchronization between a main
database and many remote databases, and the Sybase Central database
management tool.
SQL Anywhere
Runtime Edition
PowerBuilder also includes the SQL Anywhere for Windows royalty-free
runtime edition (the “SQL Anywhere Runtime Edition”). The SQL Anywhere
Runtime Edition is a restricted-functionality version of the standalone version
of SQL Anywhere. For example, the SQL Anywhere Runtime Edition does not
support stored procedures and triggers, transaction logs, and synchronization.
The SQL Anywhere setup program included on the PowerBuilder installation
DVD installs the SQL Anywhere Runtime Edition by default. For more
information, including the list of Redistributable Components of the SQL
Anywhere Runtime Edition, see the RuntimeEdition.html file in the main SQL
Anywhere 11 directory.
The SQL Anywhere setup program installs the SQL Anywhere developer
edition in default drives and directories unless you specify otherwise. If a
directory you specify does not exist, the setup program creates it.

Network install
The installation procedure presented above assumes you are installing from the
PowerBuilder 11.5 DVD. If you are a system administrator, you might want to
allow users to install PowerBuilder Enterprise from a network drive rather than
from a DVD. To do this, copy the files from the DVD into a directory on a
network drive. Users can then install PowerBuilder Enterprise by running the
setup program from the network.
What the setup program does
The setup program does the following:
•
•
•
•
•
Installs Sybase files in a Sybase directory
Installs writable Sybase files to directories in FDCC-compliant paths
Installs system files in the Windows operating system path
Creates a program group and icons for each product installed
Creates uninstall files to identify what needs to be removed if you uninstall
a product
•
•
Makes changes to the Windows registry
Creates or updates INI files including PB.INI (for PowerBuilder) and
IM.INI (for InfoMaker)
Files shared by all
users
As part of its Federal Desktop Core Configuration (FDCC) compliance
configuration, PowerBuilder installs writable files that are shared by all users
in the C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Sybase\PowerBuilder
11.5 directory on Windows XP and Windows 2003, and in C:\Users\Public
\Documents\Sybase\PowerBuilder 11.5 on Windows Vista and Windows 2008.
These files include:
•
•
•
•
The EASDemo databases (easdemo115.db and easdemo115u.db)
All Code Examples directories and files
The PowerBuilder Windows Help and compiled HTML Help files
The Translation Toolkit directories and files

Completing the setup program
Files reserved for
Individual users
Other writable files are installed in the default Program Files\Sybase
subdirectories, but are copied to different locations the first time a user starts
PowerBuilder. In this way, each PowerBuilder user gets a private copy of these
files.
The following table lists the files that are copied and updated in the directories
of all users who run an instance of PowerBuilder. The path variable in the table
header (UserName) stands for the user name of a PowerBuilder user. For
Windows XP and 2003, this is under the C:\Documents and Settings directory.
For Windows Vista and 2008, this is under the C:\Users directory.
In C:\...\UserName\ subdirectory

PowerBuilder Enterprise
CHAPTER 1 Installing PowerBuilder Enterprise
Silent install and uninstall
You can install and uninstall PowerBuilder 11.5 and the PowerBuilder virtual
machine (PBVM) without displaying messages or windows during the setup or
removal process. However, you must accept the Sybase license agreement
before you can run the silent install file. You can indicate your acceptance by
typing the following line in a DOS command box before you type in the silent
install batch file command:
SET AgreeToSybaseLicense=true
If the DOS prompt does not display the PowerBuilder installation directory,
you must change to that directory.
•
•
Use the main installation directory to install PowerBuilder and InfoMaker
Use the PBVM directory to install the PowerBuilder virtual machine
Modifying the batch file directly
You can indicate your acceptance of the Sybase license agreement by directly
editing the silentinstall.bat file. You do this by changing the line in the batch
file that reads set AgreeToSybaseLicense=false. You must change this
line to read set AgreeToSybaseLicense=true. After you make this change,
you can double-click the silentinstall.bat file to run the install with default
selections rather than running it from a command line.
The file for PowerBuilder Enterprise is in the main installation directory on the
PowerBuilder DVD, and the file for the PBVM is in the PBVM directory.
You can use the DOS command line to provide help for silent install
parameters. The help is available by typing Helpor a question mark after
entering silentinstall.baton the command line.
Silent install and uninstall for PowerBuilder and InfoMaker
If you are running the installation from the DOS command box, you can run
the silent install using the following syntax:
silentinstall.bat [“lic=licPathNameOrServerName” “opt=product”
“dir=directoryName” “shr=sharedDirectoryName” “log=logFileName”]
Installation Guide
21
Silent install and uninstall
All of the parameters for the silent install are optional. If you do not provide a
value for the “lic” parameter, the installer searches the files in the installer
directory in ascending alphabetic order for a valid license file. It uses the first
valid license file it finds to install PowerBuilder and InfoMaker. If you do not
provide the “lic” parameter and there is no license file in the installer search
path, an evaluation version of PowerBuilder is installed.
The parameters can be listed in any order and are not case sensitive. Parameter
values are also not case sensitive.
Silent install parameter
Description
licPathNameOrServerName
The full path to a valid license file with an LIC
extension, or the name of a server hosting a served
license. If a license server requires a port number,
you can include the port number after the server
name separated by a colon. For example:
silentinstall.bat “lic=myServer:1688”
product
Names the product or products to install. Values are:
•
All (default) Installs PowerBuilder and
InfoMaker
•
•
PB Installs PowerBuilder only
IM Installs InfoMaker only
directoryName
Indicates the main installation directory. If you omit
this parameter, the main product components install
to the sysDriver\Program Files\Sybase\productName
directory, where sysDriver is the main computer
drive and productName is either PowerBuilder 11.5
or InfoMaker 11.5.
sharedDirectoryName
logFileName
Indicates the shared directory for PowerBuilder or
InfoMaker. If you omit this parameter, this directory
installs to sysDriver\Program Files\Sybase\Shared.
Names the log file for the installation. If you omit
this parameter, the log file is written to the system
Temp directory with the file name silentinstall.log.
If the license file you point to in the licPathNameOrServerName parameter is
a professional or desktop license, InfoMaker will not be installed.
The following example uses all five parameters for the silent install command:
silentinstall.bat "lic=D:\pb115\pb115.lic"
"opt=pb" "dir=D:\pb115" "shr=D:\shared"
"log=D:\install.log"
22
PowerBuilder Enterprise
CHAPTER 1 Installing PowerBuilder Enterprise
When installing PowerBuilder, the silent install writes warnings to its log file
if the setup computer does not have any of the following items: SQL
Anywhere 11, Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 or later, Microsoft .NET
Framework 2.0 SDK or later, Microsoft IIS 5.0 or later, or AJAX Extensions
version 1.0. When installing InfoMaker, the silent install includes a warning in
the log file if the setup computer does not have a working copy of SQL
Anywere 11.0. If SQL Anywhere 11.0 is not found, the demonstration
databases and code examples are not installed for PowerBuilder or for
InfoMaker.
You run the standard silent uninstall by double-clicking the silentuninstall.bat
file in the main installation directory or running it from a command line.
Silent install and uninstall for the PBVM
If you are running the PBVM installation from the DOS command prompt, you
can run the silent install using the following syntax:
silentinstall.bat [“asp=aspPathName“shr=sharedDirectoryName”
“log=logFileName”]
The parameters can be listed in any order and are not case sensitive. Parameter
values are also not case sensitive.
Silent install parameter
Description
aspPathName
Names the full path to the support files in the
EAServer or PowerBuilder Application Server
plug-in folder. If you omit this parameter, the default
value is the EAServer or PowerBuilder Application
Server plug-in folder. For example:
sysDriver\Program Files\Sybase\EAServer.
sharedDirectoryName
logFileName
Indicates the shared directory for PowerBuilder or
InfoMaker. If you omit this parameter, this directory
installs to sysDriver\Program Files\Sybase\Shared.
Names the log file for the installation. If you omit
this parameter, the log file is written to the system
Temp directory with the file name silentinstall.log.
The following example uses all three parameters for the PBVM silent install
command:
silentinstall.bat "asp=D:\EAServer"
"shr=D:\shared" "log=D:\install.log"

PowerBuilder Enterprise
CHAPTER 1 Installing PowerBuilder Enterprise
Upgrading databases for jConnect for JDBC
If you plan to use any of the products in PowerBuilder Enterprise with SQL
Anywhere or Adaptive Server® Enterprise databases, including databases that
were previously prepared for jConnect™ for JDBC™ 4.x, you need to prepare
the databases for jConnect 5.5 by installing additional tables and stored
procedures. You must repeat the following steps for every SQL Anywhere or
Adaptive Server Enterprise database that you want to prepare for jConnect.
❖
To prepare a SQL Anywhere or Adaptive Server database for
jConnect 5.5:
1
2
Start Interactive SQL and connect to your database.
Select File>Open and locate the appropriate SQL file stored in the
jConnect-5_5\sp folder.
jConnect is installed in the Sybase\Shared folder. Use sql_SA.sql for SQL
Anywhere, sql_server12.5.sql for Adaptive Server version 12.5 or later,
sql_server12.sql for Adaptive Server version 12, or sql_server.sql for
earlier versions of Adaptive Server.
3
Click the Execute button.
Installing the PBVM in EAServer or the Application Server Plug-in
If you plan to deploy PowerBuilder 11.5 components to EAServer or to the
PowerBuilder Application Server Plug-in running in a third party application
server, a set of PowerBuilder 11.5 runtime files called the PowerBuilder virtual
machine (PBVM) must be installed on the same computer as EAServer or the
plug-in. The PBVM setup program, available in the PBVM directory on the
DVD, installs the required files.
Installing HTMLGenerator115 and PBDebugBroker115
For EAServer 5.x, the PBVM setup program also installs the PowerBuilder
11.5 version of the Web DataWindow server component (HTMLGenerator115)
and the PBDebugBroker115 component that are required for remote
debugging. Although the setup program copies these components to EAServer
6.x servers or to the Application Server Plug-in, the copied components do not
work properly. However, you can use the EAServer setup program to install
these components with the 6.2 version of EAServer.
Installation Guide
25
Before using PowerBuilder Enterprise

Troubleshooting SySAM issues
Troubleshooting SySAM issues
If you experience issues with your SySAM license, read this section to find
information that might help you troubleshoot licensing issues, or help you
collect information that Technical Support can use to diagnose licensing issues.
You can find more information about SySAM licensing on the SySAM Web site
tm.
Logging SySAM
information
You can enable logging by adding an entry to the PB.INI file with the following
format, where N is 0, 1, or 2:
[pb]
LogSySAM = N
The default value for LogSySAM is 0, which means no logging. Set the value
to 1 for basic logging information, or 2 for full information. The log file is
saved in the same directory as PB.INI and is named PB115_sysam.log. The file
contains status information from the development environment, the details of
the current license, and, if you set the SySAMTrace value in PB.INI,
information from the SySAM API. Technical Support might ask you to set
these values if you experience license problems.
PB.INI directory
Although PB.INI is installed by the setup program to the main installation
directory, PowerBuilder does not use or modify the PB.INI file in this directory.
Instead, PowerBuilder creates a personal copy of the PB.INI file the first time
you or another user starts PowerBuilder, and this is the initialization file that
PowerBuilder uses.
On Windows XP and Windows 2003, the directory containing the personal
copy of the PB.INI file is C:\Documents and Settings \userName\Local
Settings\Application Data\Sybase\PowerBuilder 11.5, where userName is the
name of the current PowerBuilder user. A personal SySAM log file is saved to
this directory, and local license files are kept in this directory for each
PowerBuilder user. The name of this directory on Windows Vista and Windows
2008 is C:\Users\userName\AppData\Local\Sybase\PowerBuilder 11.5.
28
PowerBuilder Enterprise
CHAPTER 1 Installing PowerBuilder Enterprise
Additional SySAM
files
The pb115_sysam.properties and PB115.lic files are installed in the same
directory as PB.INI. On Windows XP and Windows 2003, these files are
located in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Sybase\
PowerBuilder 11.5 and on Windows Vista and Windows 2008, in
C:\Users\Public\Documents\Sybase\PowerBuilder 11.5. These files contain
information that might be useful to Technical Support. Do not edit these files
unless directed to do so by Technical Support.
Served license issue
If you enter an unqualified server name, such as “myserver” as the license
server name, it might not be found. Try a fully-resolved name, such as
“myserver.mydomain.com.”
Removing a product
If you want to remove products from your computer, you should use the
Windows control panel’s Add or Remove Programs dialog box for each
product you want to remove. This uses the PowerBuilder setup maintenance
program to remove:
•
•
•
•
•
Shared and standard program files
Folder items
Program folders
Program directories
Program registry entries
system and user path settings in the registry and INI files. These changes are
not made if you simply delete directories.
Silent uninstall
To silently remove PowerBuilder 11.5 or InfoMaker 11.5, see “Silent install
and uninstall” on page 21.
Removing shared
DLLs
The setup program increments the usage count in the registry for each shared
Sybase DLL and each shared system DLL. The setup maintenance program
decrements that count. The setup maintenance program does not try to delete a
shared DLL until the usage count reaches zero.
Installation Guide
29
Removing a product
Stopping the setup
maintenance program
Unlike the setup program, the setup maintenance program has no Back or
Cancel button. Once you click Yes in the procedure below, the program cannot
be stopped.
❖
To use the setup maintenance program to remove a product:
1
2
3
Make a backup copy of any files you might want to reuse (such as DB, INI,
and PBL files) if you plan to reinstall.
Open the Control Panel from the Start menu and double-click the
Add/Remove Programs icon.
On the Install/Uninstall tab page, select the product to remove, click
Add/Remove, and click Yes when prompted to confirm that you want to
remove the tool.
4
If you are prompted to remove a shared file, click the appropriate response.
If the usage count for a system file in the registry indicates that the file is
no longer being used, the setup maintenance program asks if you want to
delete the file. Some applications do not increment the usage count;
therefore, do not delete a file unless you are sure it is not being used by
another application.
