What's New?

PowerBuilder 2017 enhances existing PowerBuilder apps and introduces a new cross-OS mobile target.   Some of the most notable new features included in this release are:

  • Mobile App Development – rapidly and easily deploy existing code assets (including reports) to iOS and Android, and tap into mobile device-specific functionality with Apache Cordova plugins.
  • Expanded Compatibility – deploy PowerBuilder apps to Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016 while using SQL Server 2016, SQL Anywhere 17, in addition to many other databases and versions.
  • Cloud-based Licensing – PowerBuilder licenses now follow the developer rather than being tied to a specific workstation, and it is delivered through Appeon's new cloud-based license management system.
  • Built-in PDF Support – generate PDF files and report printouts from your PowerBuilder app, without having the configuration hassles and costs of a third-party PDF generation solution.
  • Continuous Integration – install a free standalone compiler via scripts to your automated build machine, and automate your PowerBuilder app builds with a new simplified process for OrcaScript.

How do I get Started?

PowerBuilder 2017 is now generally available for evaluation, upgrade or new purchase. Free trial versions of the product are fully functional for a period of 30 days, and a free self-guided training course is available for developers new to PowerBuilder.
