Circular gauges in PowerBuilder Classic

Does anyone let me know if there is any tool or method to create circular gauges (e.g. speedometer) in PowerBuilder Classic version 10 or higher?
We have took a look at AnyChart, but the licence type and price are not what we are looking for.
Thank you.

Hi Luiz;
PB does not include this type of control out-of-the-box but you can either:
1) Build a custom gauge using a Custom Visual User Object and/or DataWindow combination.
- or -
2) as you already found, use a 3rd party control supplied in the form of a DLL or OCX,

PowerBuilder won't reactivate License after update

Current;y have PowerBuilder Classic 12.5.2 build 5006 installed on a Windows 7 64bit machine. This was licensed and activated properly. Went to run the install again to add a missing database driver. After updating, when I ran Powerbuilder, it came up as unlicensed. I reapplied my license file with no success. I then went to the SAP site and regenerated a new license key for my machine (based on my host id and computer name, which didn't change) and applied it. Still won't activate.
Has anybody ran into this issue and how was it solved?
- - Shane - -

Hi Shane;
I have never seen this situation ever.
What I would suggest though is
a) Try this first ...
Locate pb125_sysam.properties in C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Sybase\PowerBuilder 12.5
Right click on the file and select "Properties".
Click on the "Previous Versions" tab. Wait a bit until the File Versions box is populated.
Select a version from a restore point when you knew PB to be working OK and then click the RESTORE button.
PB should start normally
b) running a SySam trace ...

Version Control for Powerbuilder

Hello All,
We are looking to implement version control for our Powerbuilder Classic applications. Do you have any recommendation?
Thanks

Did you see this existing thread on the topic?
Source Code Control for PowerBuilder Classic & .Net

Powerbuilder and GIT

Is any one know how to integrate PowerBuilder with GIT source control? Under the source control system dropdown I don't see GIT.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Senthil

I assume we're talking about Classic, not the .Net IDE.
You would need a bridge product that converts the MSSCCI calls that the PowerBuilder Classic IDE makes into Git calls, similar to what PushOK does for SVN or CVS. PushOK makes a GIT bridge as well, but I don't have direct experience with it:

Application Monitoring Tool for PowerBuilder

We are looking for an application monitoring tool that works with PowerBuilder Classic. We have an application that is experiencing an issue at one client site and they are insisting there is an application issue. I need a strong application monitoring tool that works with PowerBuilder so we can begin to monitor the performance at their site. So far all the companies we have found to contact turn us away as soon as they hear our code is in PowerBuilder.
I would greatly appreciate any input as to companies we can contact or recommendations/experiences anyone has had.

I have an app that logs the execution time of all DataWindow retrieves in a table. I can then run a report that tells me which ones are slow. The base DataWindow object captures the start time in the retrievestart event and the retrieveend event inserts a row into a table with the DataWindow name datetime and elapsed time. I use the QueryPerformanceCounter Win API function to get sub-second timing.
Something like this:
External Functions:
Function boolean QueryPerformanceFrequency(Ref Double lpFrequency) Library "kernel32.dll"
Function boolean QueryPerformanceCounter(Ref Double lpPerformanceCount) Library "kernel32.dll"
Instance variables:
Double idbl_frequency
Double idbl_start
Constructor event:
QueryPerformanceFrequency(idbl_frequency)
Retrievestart event:
QueryPerformanceCounter(idbl_start)
Retrieveend event:
Double ldbl_stop
Dec{6} ldec_elapsed
QueryPerformanceCounter(ldbl_stop)
ldec_elapsed = (ldbl_stop - idbl_start) / idbl_frequency
INSERT INTO RETRIEVAL_ACTIVITY_LOG
( DATAWINDOW_NAME, RETRIEVE_DATETIME, ROW_COUNT, ELAPSED_TIME )
VALUES ( :this.DataObject, getdate(), :rowcount, :ldec_elapsed );

Gauge chart percentage wont do 100%

select PERCENT_COMPLETE value , 100 max_value from PROJSTAT.PERCENT_COMPLETE
(sqlplus shows this as: 100,100)
when I create a dial (percentage) graph it shows as 99%...
it should be 100%..
if I change it to 100,200 then it shows 50% which would be correct, so why doesnt it do 100% correct?

C0111: Maximum script size exceeded.

Not sure if this has anything to do with it but
I am working with in the 12.6 Powerbuilder classic 30 day demo.
I just purchased 12.6 yesterday, waiting for the email to install the live copy today.
Is there anyway to increase the size on the script size maximium?
This script has 1,783 lines of code.

---------- Finished Errors   (10:41:49 AM)

Actually, the size constraint is on the size of the compiled P-Code, which means you should probably watch for different things. Things that don't compile down to P-Code tokens (e.g. string constants, embedded SQL) should be reviewed carefully. If you have a lot of embedded SQL (a common trap for those new to PB), you might want to consider encapsulating that in a DataWindow, which will be more network-traffic-efficient at run time anyway.
Good luck.

Thanks Chris,
Allowing PowerBulider as an Azure hosted option and billed per actual usage would be a revolutionary breakthrough
I actually meant hosting the PowerBuilder (Classic and I guess .net) Development Environment.
A bit like so: Visual Studio Online Pricing Details | Microsoft Azure
The goal would be to be charged only for usage as developers use PB on a VM. No more installing and more importantly farting about with licensing.
In my opinion and without prejudice, licensing has always been difficult; until now when it appears all but impossible...
Just a thought.

FXG Observations/Suggestions

First of all, let me say how awesome it is to see the FXG
capabilities added to Flex. It opens up a new class of applications
and new model for creating UI elements based on vector graphics,
which is common in "my world" of industrial applications.
A few thoughts/comments:
It would be helpful to clarify which objects will be capable
of hit-testing, focus, and generation of mouse and keyboard events.
Interactivity is essential to the utility of FXG. Also, requiring
shapes and paths to be wrapped in a Group in order to achieve
interactivity could be problematic, as it would create a potential
disconnect between the designer/coder/animator workflow.
It would be helpful to clarify methods and support for
dynamic addition/removal of objects and the rendering rules
associated this this type of behavior. It may also be desirable to
provide methods to suppress/enable re-rendering if a large number
of runtime/dynamic changes to the graphic structure need to be
made, so that rendering can be
optimized.
On a related note, an FXG container element/object that
allowed its contents to be serialized/deserialized at runtime would
be extremely valuable for a range of applications where vector
graphics can dynamically be loaded/combined at runtime, not just
compile time.
In terms of efficiency of design and compactness of
description of a vector drawing, elemental shapes, lines, and such
need to support styling of some type so that reusable styles can be
declared and references. Additionally, it would be ideal if these
"styles" were themselves addressible and modifiable at runtime.
This was a very useful aspect of SVG that enabled animation to be
implemented much more easily in certain use cases.
A declarative Arc element type (or perhaps extensions to the
Ellipse element type) would GREATLY simplify creation of many
common types of UI components (pie wedges, circular gauge ranges,
and so on).
A very, VERY powerful attribute of text elements within SVG
was the concept of the text-anchor (and autosizing), which allowed
the text object to properly align itself automatically in cases
where the anchor point was not the upper left corner. To implement
truly centered or right aligned placement requires a-priori
knowledge of the text dimensions or script-driven sizing logic that
greatly complicates things. It would be a big improvement if FXG
could make it possible to achieve this declaratively, as with SVG.
Hope this is helpful, and I welcome comments and ideas.

Anybody?? I'm also having the exact same problem with importing .ics files into Reminders!

OpenWithParm response multi-monitor

Hi.
When opening a response-window in a MDI-frame using OpenWithParm(w_mysheet,parm), it opens on my main monitor instead of my secondary monitor where my MDI is.
Is it possible to center the response-window in the MDI-frame instead of the primary monitor?
I've tried opening with the OpenSheetWithParm, but then it's no longer modal (obviously).
In a classic Windows-environment this is not much more than annoying.
But some of our customers are starting to use Microsoft Remote Apps, and are having serious issues with response-windows opening up behind the other open sheets and/or opening up in the top left corner.
Perhaps there is a way to open a response-window using OpenSheetWithParm to make it stay inside the MDI and make the code wait for it to close?
Or even make it behave like a modal window/sheet?
Hopefully awaiting answer or good suggestions.

Hi Bjarne;
First of all .. this is a problem for not only PowerBuilder Classic/.Net and Appeon that includes Popup and Response window types. For Appeon Web, you want your PB window dialogues to open relative to the web browser monitor position. Note that Child windows are always inside their Parent window - thus, if the parent is placed OK within the monitor then your child will be OK.
The problem with PB's run-time VM is that can only open via its absolute position that you set in the Window Painter or check the "centre" property to have PB default to the primary monitor when centering. PB does not consider the secondary monitors (yes, you can have more than two <bg>).
The basic approaches you can take for the Popup and Response windows are as follows:
1) Use the OpenWithParm ( ) or OpenSheetWithParm ( ) methods and pass in the "Parent" window argument. However, this really does nothing for you as this only resets the parentage from PB's default which is ... "PowerBuilder associates the window being opened with the currently active window"
=> So personally, I do not think that Ali's suggestion helps you. It also gets worse because your application probably has tons of regular Open () commands!!!!
2) Use the ParentWindow ( ) method
- Remember: PowerBuilder associates the window being opened with the currently active window).
- Once you have a pointer to the parent window - you can move & center yourself to your parent.
3) Neither #1 or #2 address the MessageBox () command which also produces a Response window. It too will only centre within the first monitor.
 There are two ways around this issue:
 a) Replace the MessageBox () command with your own that opens your message response
 dialogue. This dialogue would probably use approach #2 above to centre
 b) Use the FindWindow ( ) SDK API to locate the internal response window dialogue
 and from its co-ordinates, centre it within the application.
 => The problem with this approach is that once opened your application is modal - so
 how are you going to execute the centering code block within using mutli-threading?
4) For Appeon Web, you cannot use the above approaches because getting the parent window and its co-ordinates only gives you its position within the Web Browser. So here, you need to use the actual web Browser's window position and not any of your parent PB window's locations.

Hi,
A few things to remember. They must be 32-bit ComVisible or COM Interop registered assemblies.
You need to use the ProgId to connect to; have you checked if they were visible in the browser?
As Jacob mentions,
These have been discussed before by Bruce, particularly in the PowerBuilder Deveopment Center and in other places.

How to chart date complete

I need a dial guage chart in apex that works similar to this: http://dashboard.virginiadot.org/default.aspx
table has project#, start date, end date, actual start date, actual end date
I need a dial guage chart that shows percentage done if less than 30 its green, if 30 to 60 yellow, if 60 + red...
I know I'm not asking this right, and not giving enough information.. but thats basically where I am..
nothing I have tried has worked and I don't know what direction to go in, where to start..

Hi Shannon,
You mention that your table holds the following information: "+project#, start date, end date, actual start date, actual end date+", and you wish to display the project percentage complete information on a Gauge chart. Are you holding that status/percentage complete value in a separate column, or do you just consider a project to be complete where the actual end date column contains a value? If you are just going to base the percentage complete on the value of actual end date, and you are using APEX 4.0 charts, then maybe you could try doing something similar to this example:http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=36648:39. I've used custom XML to apply a colour range to this gauge chart. The steps to create the sample chart are outlined below the chart region. I would recommend that you review the AnyChart online documentation on Circular Gauge Color Ranges - http://anychart.com/products/anychart/docs/users-guide/gauge-circular-axis-ranges.html?fromtree - as it outlines the various options for applying a colour range to your chart.
Given the information you are storing in your Project Information table, maybe you might consider also using a Gantt chart: http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=36648:4. I hope this helps.

Hilary

About PB 12.6 SP00 PL02 (build 4035).

Hi.
Has anyone tried PB 12.6 SP00 PL02 (build 4035)? I ask because after installation, when I try to launch Powerbuilder Classic 12.6 I receive the following error:
And PBGShare126.dll isn't installed in \Program Files\Sybase\Shared\Powerbuilder folder...
I wonder if there is a problem with the installer...
Andreas.

Hi...
I did found the problem... For some reason (maybe from an old install of 12.6 beta), there were two installation folders, one under Program Files\Sybase and another under Program Files\SAP. I uninstalled PB 12.6, erased Program Files\SAP and reinstalled... After that I was able to setup the last ebf. Now everything works fine.
Andreas.
