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 these components to view a Web
page containing a PowerBuilder window plug-in application:
| 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:
|
| PowerBuilder deployment DLLs | Install the PowerBuilder runtime DLLs as described in “PowerBuilder runtime files”The PowerBuilder deployment 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 deployment 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 NPPBA90.DLL file (standard) or NPPBS90.DLL file (secure) from the Internet Tools Plugins 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 alreadyIf the plug-in application connects to a database, set up client software for the DBMSFor 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
