CHAPTER 1 Installing PowerBuilder Enterprise
System requirements
This section provides system requirements for each product in PowerBuilder
Enterprise. All tools require a DVD-ROM drive. The disk space requirements
provided are approximate. The actual disk space you need for each tool might
vary depending on hard disk size, partitioning, and the features you choose to
install. Additional temporary space is required on the hard disk during
installation for uncompressing install files.

system (x86, x64, IA64)
* Less disk space is required if PowerBuilder is installed on the same computer.

Product licensing with SySAM 2.0
Product licensing with SySAM 2.0

PowerBuilder uses the Sybase Software Asset Management System (SySAM)
for product licensing. If you have purchased PowerBuilder, you have either a
standalone local license or a served license.
For more information about licensing, see the SySAM Documentation at
http://www.sybase.com/sysam.
For troubleshooting help, see “Troubleshooting SySAM issues” on page 28.

Installing a standalone Typically, you must have a license file to install PowerBuilder on your
local license computer. You can download a license file from the Sybase Product Download
Center (SPDC) at https://sybase.subscribenet.com. If you are evaluating
PowerBuilder, refer to the information provided with your DVD or download.
Evaluation versions of PowerBuilder are usually valid for 30 days and do not
require a license file.
If you purchase PowerBuilder from Sybase, you receive an e-mail with a URL,
your login, and your password for the SPDC. If you purchase PowerBuilder
from a Sybase reseller, you receive a certificate with a Web key registration
number and a download URL.
You must provide the host ID and computer name of the computer where you
want to install a local license when you contact the SPDC. If you have not
obtained your license information before you run the setup program, you can
find the host ID and computer name on the License Key page in the setup
program.
Installing a served If you are installing a served license, your organization needs a license server.
license The license server controls license availability and allows you to use licenses
as needed. Using a served license makes license maintenance much easier for
organizations with multiple workstations, since a single license for all
workstations can be centrally managed.
To install a served license, you must know the server name. You may also need
the TCP port number if the administrator who installed the license server
defined a TCP port number that is different from the default. In this case, you
must specify this user-defined TCP port number.
Setting up a license If you are responsible for setting up a license server, you can install a license
server server using the Standalone SySAM Installer.zip file in the Support directory on
the DVD. For more information, see the chapter on license server
administration in the Sybase Software Asset Management User Guide at
http://infocenter.sybase.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.sybase.dc00530_0200/ht
ml/sysamug/title.htm.

Pre-installation tasks
Before you install PowerBuilder Enterprise, you need to perform the following
tasks:
• Read the release bulletins for the latest information on the products that
you are installing. Pay close attention to the “Special Installation
Instructions” section.
Release bulletins for PowerBuilder and InfoMaker are available in the
product package on the Getting Started CD.
Release bulletins for PowerBuilder and InfoMaker are also available on
the Product Manuals Web site at http://www.sybase.com/support/manuals/.
The release bulletins at this site sometimes contain more recent
information than the bulletins on the Getting Started CD.
A readme.txt file for SQL Anywhere is available in the SQLAnywhere11
directory on the DVD.
• Make sure the drive where you install PowerBuilder Enterprise is not
compressed. If compression is enabled on the installation drive, the setup
program fails.
• Make sure you have a TEMP environment variable that points to an
existing directory location with at least 300MB free space. The setup
programs write files to this directory during the installation and free the
space after the installation is complete.
• Close any open applications.
• Back up your files. See “Backing up your files” next.
• Read “Required software for PowerBuilder features” on page 6 to
determine whether you need to install any software before installing
PowerBuilder 11.5.
Backing up your files

Back up any files created with earlier versions of Sybase tools. Make sure that
any PowerBuilder PBLs you plan to migrate have been regenerated without
error in your current version of PowerBuilder before you back them up.
Besides backing up your PBLs, you need to back up any files that contain
information you do not want to lose, such as database files, INI files,
preference information, and modified database definition files.

For additional information about backing up and migrating existing

applications, see “Before using PowerBuilder Enterprise” on page 24.
Required software for PowerBuilder features

Table 1-3 lists the software required for PowerBuilder Enterprise features.
Some of this software is installed automatically when the feature is installed.
Read this table carefully to determine whether you need to install any software
before you run the PowerBuilder setup program, and whether you need to
select SQL Anywhere before you select PowerBuilder. If you select a feature
that has a prerequisite that has not been installed, the setup program displays a
warning message.

page 11.

Installing SQL Anywhere
Installing SQL Anywhere

Sybase SQL Anywhere is a fully-featured relational database and data
management tool. The SQL Anywhere installation is restricted to development
use only. Deployed systems require a separate SQL Anywhere license or the
SQL Anywhere Runtime Edition (see “SQL Anywhere Runtime Edition”
next).
The SQL Anywhere installation includes MobiLink, a session-based
synchronization system that allows two-way synchronization between a main
database and many remote databases, and the Sybase Central database
management tool.
SQL Anywhere PowerBuilder also includes the SQL Anywhere for Windows royalty-free
Runtime Edition runtime edition (the “SQL Anywhere Runtime Edition”). The SQL Anywhere
Runtime Edition is a restricted-functionality version of the standalone version
of SQL Anywhere. For example, the SQL Anywhere Runtime Edition does not
support stored procedures and triggers, transaction logs, and synchronization.
The SQL Anywhere setup program included on the PowerBuilder installation
DVD installs the SQL Anywhere Runtime Edition by default. For more
information, including the list of Redistributable Components of the SQL
Anywhere Runtime Edition, see the RuntimeEdition.html file in the main SQL
Anywhere 11 directory.
The SQL Anywhere setup program installs the SQL Anywhere developer
edition in default drives and directories unless you specify otherwise. If a
directory you specify does not exist, the setup program creates it.
❖ To install SQL Anywhere:

Network install
The installation procedure presented above assumes you are installing from the
PowerBuilder 11.5 DVD. If you are a system administrator, you might want to
allow users to install PowerBuilder Enterprise from a network drive rather than
from a DVD. To do this, copy the files from the DVD into a directory on a
network drive. Users can then install PowerBuilder Enterprise by running the
setup program from the network.
What the setup program does

The setup program does the following:
• Installs Sybase files in a Sybase directory
• Installs writable Sybase files to directories in FDCC-compliant paths
• Installs system files in the Windows operating system path
• Creates a program group and icons for each product installed
• Creates uninstall files to identify what needs to be removed if you uninstall
a product
• Makes changes to the Windows registry
• Creates or updates INI files including PB.INI (for PowerBuilder) and
IM.INI (for InfoMaker)
Files shared by all As part of its Federal Desktop Core Configuration (FDCC) compliance
users configuration, PowerBuilder installs writable files that are shared by all users
in the C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Sybase\PowerBuilder
11.5 directory on Windows XP and Windows 2003, and in C:\Users\Public
\Documents\Sybase\PowerBuilder 11.5 on Windows Vista and Windows 2008.
These files include:
• The EASDemo databases (easdemo115.db and easdemo115u.db)
• All Code Examples directories and files
• The PowerBuilder Windows Help and compiled HTML Help files
• The Translation Toolkit directories and files

Files reserved for Other writable files are installed in the default Program Files\Sybase
Individual users subdirectories, but are copied to different locations the first time a user starts
PowerBuilder. In this way, each PowerBuilder user gets a private copy of these
files.
The following table lists the files that are copied and updated in the directories
of all users who run an instance of PowerBuilder. The path variable in the table
header (UserName) stands for the user name of a PowerBuilder user. For
Windows XP and 2003, this is under the C:\Documents and Settings directory.
For Windows Vista and 2008, this is under the C:\Users directory.
In C:\...\UserName\ subdirectory Files copied or updated
On Windows XP and 2003: • Initialization files (PB.INI, PBLAB115.INI,
Local Settings\Application Data\Sybase\PowerBuilder 11.5 PBODB115.INI)
On Windows Vista and 2008: • License files (PB115.LIC,
AppData\Local\Sybase\PowerBuilder 11.5 pb115_sysam.properties)
On Windows XP and 2003: • Files for the PowerBuilder Getting Started
My Documents\Sybase\PowerBuilder 11.5\Tutorial tutorial
On Windows Vista and 2008:
Documents\Sybase\PowerBuilder 11.5\Tutorial
The locations of writable PowerBuilder files reserved for individual use are set
in HKEY_CURRENT_USER registry entries for each PowerBuilder user. For
example, the location of the PB.INI file that is copied to each user's local
application data directory is registered under the registry key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Sybase\PowerBuilder\11.5\InitPath.
Registry changes The setup program makes the following changes to the Windows registry:
• Creates or updates registry subkeys, including ODBC.INI and
ODBCINST.INI
• Creates or updates the Sybase key in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software
and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software
• Updates system and user paths in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Environment
• Adds the appropriate paths to the registry path
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
\App Paths
• Adds the paths to compiled HTMLHelp files to the registry path
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\HTMLHelp

Silent install and uninstall

You can install and uninstall PowerBuilder 11.5 and the PowerBuilder virtual
machine (PBVM) without displaying messages or windows during the setup or
removal process. However, you must accept the Sybase license agreement
before you can run the silent install file. You can indicate your acceptance by
typing the following line in a DOS command box before you type in the silent
install batch file command:
SET AgreeToSybaseLicense=true
If the DOS prompt does not display the PowerBuilder installation directory,
you must change to that directory.
• Use the main installation directory to install PowerBuilder and InfoMaker
• Use the PBVM directory to install the PowerBuilder virtual machine
Modifying the batch file directly

You can indicate your acceptance of the Sybase license agreement by directly
editing the silentinstall.bat file. You do this by changing the line in the batch
file that reads set AgreeToSybaseLicense=false. You must change this
line to read set AgreeToSybaseLicense=true. After you make this change,
you can double-click the silentinstall.bat file to run the install with default
selections rather than running it from a command line.
The file for PowerBuilder Enterprise is in the main installation directory on the
PowerBuilder DVD, and the file for the PBVM is in the PBVM directory.
You can use the DOS command line to provide help for silent install
parameters. The help is available by typing Help or a question mark after
entering silentinstall.bat on the command line.
Silent install and uninstall for PowerBuilder and InfoMaker

If you are running the installation from the DOS command box, you can run
the silent install using the following syntax:
silentinstall.bat [“lic=licPathNameOrServerName” “opt=product”
“dir=directoryName” “shr=sharedDirectoryName” “log=logFileName”]

Silent install and uninstall
All of the parameters for the silent install are optional. If you do not provide a
value for the “lic” parameter, the installer searches the files in the installer
directory in ascending alphabetic order for a valid license file. It uses the first
valid license file it finds to install PowerBuilder and InfoMaker. If you do not
provide the “lic” parameter and there is no license file in the installer search
path, an evaluation version of PowerBuilder is installed.
The parameters can be listed in any order and are not case sensitive. Parameter
values are also not case sensitive.
Silent install parameter Description
licPathNameOrServerName The full path to a valid license file with an LIC
extension, or the name of a server hosting a served
license. If a license server requires a port number,
you can include the port number after the server
name separated by a colon. For example:
silentinstall.bat “lic=myServer:1688”
product Names the product or products to install. Values are:
• All (default) Installs PowerBuilder and
InfoMaker
• PB Installs PowerBuilder only
• IM Installs InfoMaker only
directoryName Indicates the main installation directory. If you omit
this parameter, the main product components install
to the sysDriver\Program Files\Sybase\productName
directory, where sysDriver is the main computer
drive and productName is either PowerBuilder 11.5
or InfoMaker 11.5.
sharedDirectoryName Indicates the shared directory for PowerBuilder or
InfoMaker. If you omit this parameter, this directory
installs to sysDriver\Program Files\Sybase\Shared.
logFileName Names the log file for the installation. If you omit
this parameter, the log file is written to the system
Temp directory with the file name silentinstall.log.
If the license file you point to in the licPathNameOrServerName parameter is

a professional or desktop license, InfoMaker will not be installed.
The following example uses all five parameters for the silent install command:
silentinstall.bat "lic=D:\pb115\pb115.lic"
"opt=pb" "dir=D:\pb115" "shr=D:\shared"
"log=D:\install.log"

When installing PowerBuilder, the silent install writes warnings to its log file
if the setup computer does not have any of the following items: SQL
Anywhere 11, Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 or later, Microsoft .NET
Framework 2.0 SDK or later, Microsoft IIS 5.0 or later, or AJAX Extensions
version 1.0. When installing InfoMaker, the silent install includes a warning in
the log file if the setup computer does not have a working copy of SQL
Anywere 11.0. If SQL Anywhere 11.0 is not found, the demonstration
databases and code examples are not installed for PowerBuilder or for
InfoMaker.
You run the standard silent uninstall by double-clicking the silentuninstall.bat
file in the main installation directory or running it from a command line.
Silent install and uninstall for the PBVM

If you are running the PBVM installation from the DOS command prompt, you
can run the silent install using the following syntax:
silentinstall.bat [“asp=aspPathName“shr=sharedDirectoryName”
“log=logFileName”]
The parameters can be listed in any order and are not case sensitive. Parameter
values are also not case sensitive.
Silent install parameter Description
aspPathName Names the full path to the support files in the
EAServer or PowerBuilder Application Server
plug-in folder. If you omit this parameter, the default
value is the EAServer or PowerBuilder Application
Server plug-in folder. For example:
sysDriver\Program Files\Sybase\EAServer.
sharedDirectoryName Indicates the shared directory for PowerBuilder or
InfoMaker. If you omit this parameter, this directory
installs to sysDriver\Program Files\Sybase\Shared.
logFileName Names the log file for the installation. If you omit
this parameter, the log file is written to the system
Temp directory with the file name silentinstall.log.
The following example uses all three parameters for the PBVM silent install
command:
silentinstall.bat "asp=D:\EAServer"
"shr=D:\shared" "log=D:\install.log"

Before using PowerBuilder Enterprise
You run the PBVM silent uninstall by double-clicking the silentuninstall.bat

file in the PBVM directory or running it from a command line.

Before you use PowerBuilder Enterprise, you might need to perform some
additional migration or configuration tasks:
• Migrating applications to PowerBuilder or InfoMaker 11.5
• Setting up your DBMS
• Upgrading databases for jConnect for JDBC
• Installing the PBVM in EAServer or the Application Server Plug-in
• Installing Ghostscript
• Installing PostScript drivers
Migrating applications to PowerBuilder or InfoMaker 11.5

If you have applications and PBLs that you created in an earlier version of
PowerBuilder or InfoMaker, you can migrate them to version 11.5. Before you
do, make sure your PBLs can be successfully regenerated under the earlier
version, and make backup copies.
PowerBuilder and InfoMaker 11.5 are Unicode enabled and some changes are
made to your code when you migrate an application from PowerBuilder 9.x or
earlier. For details, see the section on migrating targets in the PowerBuilder
Users Guide.
You should also read the migration issues section in the PowerBuilder release
bulletin.
Setting up your DBMS

Your DBMS might require additional setup procedures for use with
PowerBuilder or InfoMaker. For details, see Connecting to Your Database.

Upgrading databases for jConnect for JDBC

If you plan to use any of the products in PowerBuilder Enterprise with SQL
Anywhere or Adaptive Server® Enterprise databases, including databases that
were previously prepared for jConnect™ for JDBC™ 4.x, you need to prepare
the databases for jConnect 5.5 by installing additional tables and stored
procedures. You must repeat the following steps for every SQL Anywhere or
Adaptive Server Enterprise database that you want to prepare for jConnect.
❖ To prepare a SQL Anywhere or Adaptive Server database for

jConnect 5.5:
1 Start Interactive SQL and connect to your database.
2 Select File>Open and locate the appropriate SQL file stored in the
jConnect-5_5\sp folder.
jConnect is installed in the Sybase\Shared folder. Use sql_SA.sql for SQL
Anywhere, sql_server12.5.sql for Adaptive Server version 12.5 or later,
sql_server12.sql for Adaptive Server version 12, or sql_server.sql for
earlier versions of Adaptive Server.
3 Click the Execute button.
Installing the PBVM in EAServer or the Application Server Plug-in

If you plan to deploy PowerBuilder 11.5 components to EAServer or to the
PowerBuilder Application Server Plug-in running in a third party application
server, a set of PowerBuilder 11.5 runtime files called the PowerBuilder virtual
machine (PBVM) must be installed on the same computer as EAServer or the
plug-in. The PBVM setup program, available in the PBVM directory on the
DVD, installs the required files.
Installing HTMLGenerator115 and PBDebugBroker115

For EAServer 5.x, the PBVM setup program also installs the PowerBuilder
11.5 version of the Web DataWindow server component (HTMLGenerator115)
and the PBDebugBroker115 component that are required for remote
debugging. Although the setup program copies these components to EAServer
6.x servers or to the Application Server Plug-in, the copied components do not
work properly. However, you can use the EAServer setup program to install
these components with the 6.2 version of EAServer.

❖ To install the PBVM on EAServer or the Application Server Plug-in:

1 Run the setup.exe program in the PBVM directory on the PowerBuilder
11.5 DVD.
2 On the Choose Destination Location page, click Next if the default
destination location is correct, or click Browse to navigate to the directory
where EAServer or the Application Server Plug-in is installed and click
Next.
3 On the Choose Destination Location for Shared Files page, click Next if
the default destination location is correct, or click Browse to navigate to
the directory you specified in step 2 or to the Sybase\Shared directory and
click Next.
The setup program installs the PBVM in a PowerBuilder subdirectory of
the directory you selected, installs the Web DataWindow and debugger
components in the Repository directory, and exits.
Installing Ghostscript
If you want to use the distill method for saving DataWindows as PDF, you must
install Ghostscript.
❖ To install Ghostscript:
1 Into a temporary directory on your computer, download the self-extracting
executable file for the version of Ghostscript you want from one of the
sites listed on the Ghostscript Web site at http://www.ghostscript.com/awki.
See the PowerBuilder release bulletin for the version of Ghostscript that
was used for testing.
2 Run the executable file to install Ghostscript on your system.
The default installation directory is C:\Program Files\gs.
After installing Ghostscript, you should read the readme.htm file in the doc
subdirectory in the Ghostscript installation directory to find out more about
using Ghostscript and distributing it with your application.

Installing PostScript drivers

If you want to use the distill method for saving DataWindows as PDF, you must
have a PostScript printer or printer driver installed on your system. If you do
not, use the Windows Add Printer wizard to add a PostScript printer. If you
have never installed a PostScript printer, the Microsoft pscript5.dll file, which
is required to add a PostScript printer, may not be available on your computer.
You may be prompted to insert a Windows operating system installation CD.
❖ To add a PostScript printer to your printer settings:

1 Select Settings>Printers from the Windows Start menu.
2 Double-click Add Printer.
3 Specify a local printer.
4 Specify FILE: as the port.
5 Select a manufacturer (such as HP) and a printer with the designation PS
(such as HP LaserJet Series 4050 PS).
Note
Some printers do not handle images correctly. For example, the HP Color
LaserJet PS does not display images in the PDF output and the HP
LaserJet 4/4M Plus PS 600 displays color images using greyscale.
6 Accept the default name or enter a shorter name for the printer.
7 Complete the wizard.
❖ To use the print driver in the DataWindow painter:

1 Select the Distill Custom PostScript check box on the Data Export
property page for PDF export.
2 Specify the printer name (from step 6 in the previous procedure) as the
Printer Name on the Print Specifications page.
❖ To use the print driver in a script:

• Set the Distill.CustomPostScript and Printer properties.
For example:
dw_1.Object.DataWindow.Export.PDF.Distill.CustomPostScript=1
dw_1.Object.DataWindow.Printer="HP LaserJet Series 4050 PS"

Troubleshooting SySAM issues
Troubleshooting SySAM issues

If you experience issues with your SySAM license, read this section to find
information that might help you troubleshoot licensing issues, or help you
collect information that Technical Support can use to diagnose licensing issues.
You can find more information about SySAM licensing on the SySAM Web site
at http://www.sybase.com/sysam and in the SySAM Documentation at
http://infocenter.sybase.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.sybase.help.sysam/title.h
tm.
Logging SySAM You can enable logging by adding an entry to the PB.INI file with the following
information format, where N is 0, 1, or 2:
[pb]
LogSySAM = N
The default value for LogSySAM is 0, which means no logging. Set the value
to 1 for basic logging information, or 2 for full information. The log file is
saved in the same directory as PB.INI and is named PB115_sysam.log. The file
contains status information from the development environment, the details of
the current license, and, if you set the SySAMTrace value in PB.INI,
information from the SySAM API. Technical Support might ask you to set
these values if you experience license problems.
PB.INI directory
Although PB.INI is installed by the setup program to the main installation
directory, PowerBuilder does not use or modify the PB.INI file in this directory.
Instead, PowerBuilder creates a personal copy of the PB.INI file the first time
you or another user starts PowerBuilder, and this is the initialization file that
PowerBuilder uses.
On Windows XP and Windows 2003, the directory containing the personal
copy of the PB.INI file is C:\Documents and Settings \userName\Local
Settings\Application Data\Sybase\PowerBuilder 11.5, where userName is the
name of the current PowerBuilder user. A personal SySAM log file is saved to
this directory, and local license files are kept in this directory for each
PowerBuilder user. The name of this directory on Windows Vista and Windows
2008 is C:\Users\userName\AppData\Local\Sybase\PowerBuilder 11.5.

Additional SySAM The pb115_sysam.properties and PB115.lic files are installed in the same
files directory as PB.INI. On Windows XP and Windows 2003, these files are
located in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Sybase\
PowerBuilder 11.5 and on Windows Vista and Windows 2008, in
C:\Users\Public\Documents\Sybase\PowerBuilder 11.5. These files contain
information that might be useful to Technical Support. Do not edit these files
unless directed to do so by Technical Support.
Served license issue If you enter an unqualified server name, such as “myserver” as the license
server name, it might not be found. Try a fully-resolved name, such as
“myserver.mydomain.com.”
Removing a product
If you want to remove products from your computer, you should use the
Windows control panel’s Add or Remove Programs dialog box for each
product you want to remove. This uses the PowerBuilder setup maintenance
program to remove:
• Shared and standard program files
• Folder items
• Program folders
• Program directories
• Program registry entries
The setup maintenance program removes file and icon groups, as well as
system and user path settings in the registry and INI files. These changes are
not made if you simply delete directories.
Silent uninstall
To silently remove PowerBuilder 11.5 or InfoMaker 11.5, see “Silent install
and uninstall” on page 21.
Removing shared The setup program increments the usage count in the registry for each shared
DLLs Sybase DLL and each shared system DLL. The setup maintenance program
decrements that count. The setup maintenance program does not try to delete a
shared DLL until the usage count reaches zero.

Removing a product
Stopping the setup Unlike the setup program, the setup maintenance program has no Back or
maintenance program Cancel button. Once you click Yes in the procedure below, the program cannot
be stopped.
❖ To use the setup maintenance program to remove a product:

1 Make a backup copy of any files you might want to reuse (such as DB, INI,
and PBL files) if you plan to reinstall.
2 Open the Control Panel from the Start menu and double-click the
Add/Remove Programs icon.
3 On the Install/Uninstall tab page, select the product to remove, click
Add/Remove, and click Yes when prompted to confirm that you want to
remove the tool.
4 If you are prompted to remove a shared file, click the appropriate response.
If the usage count for a system file in the registry indicates that the file is
no longer being used, the setup maintenance program asks if you want to
delete the file. Some applications do not increment the usage count;
therefore, do not delete a file unless you are sure it is not being used by
another application.
