Deploying Powerbuilder to web

With applications moving to web and now mobile, powerbuilder was expected to lag behind. Thanks to Appeon, who made sure Powerbuilder stays in the race. With Appeon, we can deploy the application to either web or mobile.

Appeon helps us continue to write the code in Powerscript but deploy the application in either J2EE or .Net. What appeon does is convert the Powerbuilder objects into JScript, html and xml. The files can be packaged and deployed to client environment.

But, migration does not comes so handy. There are functions, syntaxes etc which are not supported by appeon eg GetCurrentDirectory(). Appeon has its own functions which can be used as a replacement. They do have a very good support team who are always available to tackle the issues.

With the budgets and time to convert PB to Java or .Net going so high, I think appeon is surely an option application owner can think of.
