System Tree

Work in the System Tree window, which
can serve as the hub of your development session. For more information
see “The System Tree “.

Output Window

Examine the output of a variety of operations
(migration, builds, deployment, project execution, object saves,
and searches). See “The Output window”.

Next Error, Previous Error

Navigate through the Output window.

To-Do List

Keep track of development tasks you need
to do for the current application and use links to get you quickly
to the place where you complete the tasks.

Browser

View information about system objects
and objects in your application, such as their properties, events,
functions, and global variables, and copy, export, or print the
information.

Clip Window

Store objects or code you use frequently.
You can drag or copy items to the Clip window to be saved and then
drag or copy these items to the appropriate painter view when you
want to use them. See “The Clip window”.

Library

Manage your libraries using the Library
painter.

DB Profile

Define and use named sets of parameters
to connect to a particular database.

Application Server Profile

a particular server. You can then use this predefined profile whenever
you need to connect to an application server.

Database

Maintain databases and database tables,
control user access to databases, and manipulate data in databases
using the Database painter.

Edit

Edit text files (such as source, resource,
and initialization files) in the file editor.

Incremental Build Workspace

Update all the targets and objects in
the workspace that have changed since the last build.

Full Build Workspace

Update all the targets and objects in
the workspace.

Deploy Workspace

Deploy all the targets in the workspace.

Skip, Stop

Interrupt a build, deploy, or search
operation. When a series of operations is in progress, such as a
full deploy of the workspace, the Skip button lets you jump to the
next operation. The Stop button cancels all operations.

Debug

Debug the current target. You can set
breakpoints and watch expressions, step through your code, examine
and change variables during execution, and view the call stack and
objects in memory.

Select & Debug

Select a target and open the Debugger.

Run

Run the current target just as your users
would run it. For standard PowerBuilder application targets, the
application runs in the development environment.

For .NET and server component targets, you must deploy the target
before you can run it for the first time, and you must specify a
client application for server components. If you have made changes
since you last deployed, you must redeploy to see those changes
when you click the Run button.

Select & Run

Select a target and run it.

Exit

Close PowerBuilder.
