PowerBuilder automation servers
To use a PowerBuilder automation server, the following files
need to be deployed:
- The PBD or DLL containing
the implementation of the automation server - The generated type library file if you chose to
create one or, if you built a named server, the PBAEN90.TLB file
that provides type library information for PowerBuilder.Application - A copy of the registry update (.REG)
file generated in the Project painter, edited to reference the directory
where you will deploy the PBD or DLL and the type library file - The PowerBuilder runtime and database connectivity
files required by the server as described in “PowerBuilder COM servers”
After deploying the files listed above, run the registry update
file to register the server on the target computer. For more information
about using automation servers and deploying to COM+/MTS,
see
“Deploying an application
that uses the automation server “.
Creating registry information for OLE automation
objects
If your application includes user objects that are used for
OLE inbound automation, you must update the user’s registry
with information about the server. The Automation Server Project
wizard sets up a project that helps you to generate a globally unique
identifier (GUID), a registration (REG) file, and a type library
(TLB) file. The Automation Server project wizard is available on the
Project page of the New dialog box.

that uses the automation server “.
