App upgrade notes
This section only highlights a few important notes for application
upgrade. For more information, refer to Upgrading
PowerBuilder Applications.
For upgrading from Beta to
GA
If you want to upgrade from Beta1 or Beta2 to GA, make sure to
upgrade both IDE and runtime and use the runtime installed from GA, as
GA has moved the third-party DLL files in “ThirdPartyLegalMSRedist”
from IDE to Runtime, if you want to continue using the runtime installed
from beta, you will need to manually copy the DLL files from
ThirdPartyLegalMSRedistx86 or ThirdPartyLegalMSRedistx64 to the
runtime folder %AppeonInstallPath%CommonPowerBuilderRuntime [version]
or %AppeonInstallPath%CommonPowerBuilderRuntime [version]x64,
otherwise the IDE installed from GA will not work with the runtime
installed from beta.
If you want to upgrade from Beta1 or Beta2 to GA, please 1)
uninstall PowerClient App Publisher
from the server, and uninstall the launcher and service from the client,
including PowerClient Launcher (or
Cloud App Launcher), PowerClient Service, and PowerClient App Shell, as GA has re-named these
programs; 2) undeploy/uninstall the app from the server and the client;
3) configure and deploy a new PowerClient project in GA, as GA has
changed the project settings. The app deployed with beta will no longer
work with the GA version.
