Introduction

This guide is focused on migrating existing PowerBuilder 32-bit applications to a 64-bit architecture. We will walk-through determining if it makes sense to migrate, the key migration issues you may face, and the key steps to achieve a successful migration.

This guide assumes your applications have already upgraded to PowerBuilder 2022 or higher. The reasons for this is that older versions of PowerBuilder did not provide robust support for the 64-bit project type and also starting from version 2022, you can debug and run 64-bit applications directly in the PowerBuilder IDE.
