Setting up users’ workstations

After building the plug-in application, creating its HTML
page, and setting up the server, you need to make sure client workstations
are set up to view the plug-in application.

To view a Web page that includes a PowerBuilder window plug-in
application, users need supporting software installed on their client
workstations. They also need a connection to the Web server.

Required components

Each client workstation needs the components in Table 33-9 to view a Web page
containing a PowerBuilder window plug-in application.

Table 33-9: Client requirements to view PowerBuilder
window plug-in
Component Details
An Internet or intranet connection Available within your corporation or
from an Internet service provider.
A Web browser that supports Netscape plug-ins Available from the browser vendor. Examples
are:

  • Netscape Navigator Version 3.x or later.
  • Microsoft Internet Explorer Version 3.x through
    5.5 Service Pack 1. Internet Explorer 5.5 Service Pack 2 and later
    versions do not support plug-ins.
PowerBuilder deployment DLLs Install the PowerBuilder runtime DLLs
as described in “PowerBuilder runtime files”.

The PowerBuilder runtime DLLs belong in the application directory
or in a directory on the system path. The PowerBuilder window plug-in
DLL must know the location of the PowerBuilder runtime DLLs. To
accomplish this, you can add the directory for the PowerBuilder
deployment DLLs to the system path, or you can add the directory
to the application path key for the browser (in the Windows registry).
Standard or secure PowerBuilder window plug-in
DLL		 If it is not there already, copy the NPPBA1050.DLL file (standard)
or NPPBS1050.DLL file (secure) from the Internet
ToolsPlugins directory to the browser’s Plugins directory.
Other files If you did not include image resources
in the PBDs, copy them to the paths specified in the object properties
if they are not there already.

If the plug-in application connects to a database, set up client
software for the DBMS. For how to connect to a DBMS from the client
machine, see Connecting to Your Database
.

Viewing the Web page and plug-in application

When the required software is installed, the user can view
the Web page with the plug-in application.

When the user navigates to the URL of the Web page:

  • The text on the page displays
    with a reserved space for the PowerBuilder window
  • The client downloads the PBDs from the server
  • The browser displays the child window within the
    Web page
  • The user interacts with controls in the window and
    scripts for events execute
  • The user navigates away from the page, which closes
    the window and causes the PowerBuilder DLLs to be unloaded from
    memory
