Unsupported Features – PB Docs 2022

Web Services Client (Discontinued)

Creating Web service proxy for connecting to SOAP server is a
discontinued feature. Additionally there is no 64-bit version of the
client. So, you must
use the PowerBuilder HTTPClient
Object instead. You can follow these instructions: Call
SOAP Web Services using HTTPClient Object in order to
successfully replace the Web Services Client before migrating your
application to 64-bits.

COM+ runtime (read
more)

Building a COM+ client in 64-bit is currently not
supported.

Machine code generation

Generating PowerBuilder machine code DLLs is not supported for
64-bit applications. But you can still opt for compiling as P-code
which is supported (read
more).

This feature is tentatively planned for PowerBuilder
2022.

TabletPC

These TabletPC features are not supported on 64-bit
applications:

Currently there are no substitute for these features.

PBNI SDK

Currently there is no 64-bit version of the PBNI SDK.

Application server support (read
more)

PowerBuilder developers can build clients that invoke the
services of COM+ and third-party application servers, and build
components (or objects) that execute business logic inside each of
these servers.

Currently it is not supported to create 64-bit components for
application servers with the PowerBuilder IDE. However, you can use
the SnapDevelop
IDE (bundled with PowerBuilder) to create 64-bit components
in C# with DataWindow technology.
