PopMenu

In PowerBuilder, the menu will pop up every time you click the mouse, while in PowerServer Mobile, the odd number (n) of times when your finger taps, the menu will pop up, the even number (n+1) of times when your finger taps, the menu will disappear.

In PowerBuilder, the menu pops up and the menu item is executed via "Trigger", while in PowerServer Mobile, it is via "Post", which causes the scripts to be executed in a different order. To workaround this difference, move the scripts after PopMenu to another event, execute these scripts via PostEvent() after PopMenu is called. If the PopMenu is dynamically created, it cannot be destroyed until the scripts for the menu items are executed.

  • The progress_idx<100 and max=0 indicate the progress has been pushed forward.

EncryptionKey

This property is unsupported in PowerServer Mobile, instead, you should input the encryption key when configuring the local database in the PowerServer Toolkit. For details, refer to the section called “Offline Settings” in PowerServer Toolkit User Guide.

Supported

ExtendedOpts

These three extended options are supported: sv, ctp and adr.

  • sv extended option:

    For the mobile application, when accessing the two-way synchronization between the consolidated database and the local UltraLite database, specify the sv option to set the value of the ScriptVersion. For example, 

    mySync_1.ExtendedOpts = "sv=test"

    If the sv option is not specified, PowerServer Mobile will automatically use the Publication value as the ScriptVersion value. When creating a synchronization model in Sybase Central, these two values are equivalent by default.

  • ctp & adr extended options for the encrypted transmission: 

    ctp=https;
adr='host=192.0.2.15;
     PORT=2439;
     trusted_certificates=c:\%SQLANY%\bin32\rsaroot.crt;
     certificate_name=RSA Server;
     certificate_company=test;
     certificate_unit=test'

    Note: MobiLink supports the encrypted transmission of the synchronous data stream by using HTTPS on the iOS device only. When UltraLite uses HTTPS for the encrypted transmission, all the needed certificates must be stored in the directory where Appeon Workspace exists, but not in the directory where the application exists. However, in iOS and Android, this directory is read-only, which means you cannot store these downloaded certificates into the directory where Appeon Workspace exists. Therefore, UltraLite using HTTPS for the encrypted transmission is not supported by the standard Appeon Workspace. If you want to use HTTPS for the encrypted transmission of the synchronous data stream, you can only package the application as a native application or customize Appeon Workspace.

Supported

Host

The Host property will not take effect if the Key value of the license file is set as the adr option of the ExtendedOpts property.

SyntaxFromSQL

The following syntax is unsupported:

ls_dw_syntax = SyntaxFromSQL (sqlca, ls_sql_syntax, ls_style, ls_dw_err)

The data type of computed columns in SyntaxFromSQL cannot be the Appeon unsupported data type.

The length of return value in PowerServer Mobile is different from PowerBuilder.

The return value of the SyntaxFromSQL function in PowerServer Mobile contains a column name for each column although it is not in PowerBuilder.

This function cannot generate correct source code for TreeView DataWindow.

For offline applications, this function supports the DataWindow presentation style, but does not support specifying object keywords followed by properties and values to customize the DataWindow, because UltraLite and SQLite do not support the stored procedure.

Database

DBMS

Appeon extends this property so it can be used to specify the database interface of the data source that is used by the CacheName parameter. For values representing the different database interfaces, refer to Table 21, “Setting the DBMS property based on the database type” in PowerServer Configuration Guide for .NET.

Supported

DBParm

  • The ConnectString parameter will be ignored when executed in the mobile or Web application, because the database connection for the mobile or Web application (called data source) is configured separately in PowerServer or in the application server. For more, refer to Database Connection Setup in PowerServer Configuration Guide for .NET.

  • The EnabledLocalDB parameter is specially provided and supported by PowerServer Mobile only, therefore it will be ignored when executed in the PB application and Web application, and will only take effect when executed in the mobile application.

    The EnabledLocalDB parameter is required and should be set to True (or Yes or 1), only if the mobile application wants to establish connection with the database on the local mobile device. For example, 

    SQLCA.DBMS = "ODBC" 
SQLCA.AutoCommit = False 
SQLCA.DBParm = "ConnectString='DSN=Mobile15TestDB;
UID=DBA;PWD=sql'; EnabledLocalDB='true'"

  • The CacheName parameter is enhanced by PowerServer, so it is working differently when executed in the mobile or Web application than when executed in the PB application.

    CacheName is optional depending on the specific scenario of the database connection used in the mobile or Web application. If one transaction object needs to connect with more than one database, then CacheName can be used and set to the name of the data source (as shown in the code example below); if one transaction object connects with only one database, then CacheName might not be necessary, as you can statically map the transaction object with the data source in PowerServer Toolkit or AEM. For more, refer to the section called “Setting up transaction object to data source mapping” in PowerServer Configuration Guide for .NET.

    For example,

    SQLCA.DBMS = "ODBC"
SQLCA.AutoCommit = False
SQLCA.DBParm = "ConnectString='DSN=Mobile15TestDB;
UID=DBA;PWD=sql'; EnabledLocalDB='true'; CacheName='MyUltralite'"
connect;

……

disconnect;
SQLCA.DBMS = "ODBC"
SQLCA.AutoCommit = False
SQLCA.DBParm = "ConnectString='DSN=Mobile15TestDB;
UID=DBA;PWD=sql'; EnabledLocalDB='true'; CacheName='MySQLite'"
connect;

    When EnabledLocalDB='true' which indicates the app should connect with the database on the local mobile device, the CacheName parameter (if used) should be set to the data source that is configured in PowerServer Toolkit for the local offline database. For how to configure the data source for the local offline database, refer to the section called “Offline Settings” in PowerServer Toolkit User Guide.

    When EnabledLocalDB is not used or EnabledLocalDB='false' which indicates the app should connect with the database on the back-end database server, the CacheName parameter (if used) should be set to the data source that is configured in AEM or application server for the server-side database. For how to configure the data source for the server-side database, refer to Database Connection Setup in PowerServer Configuration Guide for .NET.

SQLCode

 
ll_value = sqlca.SQLCode

The returned value of SQLCode in PowerServer:

<0 – Error; the statement failed. This is different from PowerBuilder where -1 will be returned, while in PowerServer, it could be any negative number when there is an error. Therefore, it is recommended to use <0 as the evaluation value for errors in both PowerBuilder and Appeon.

0 – Success.

100 – No result.

Supported

SQLDBCode

1) In PowerBuilder, if sqlca.SQLCode=100, then sqlca.SQLDBCode=3. In PowerServer, when sqlca.SQLCode=100, then sqlca.SQLDBCode=0.

2) In the mobile application, SQLDBCode returns a different value from PowerBuilder. It is recommended not to use SQLDBCode in statements such as IF…ELSE.
