ORCA lets your application do programmatically the same library and object management tasks that a developer performs in the PowerBuilder development environment. ORCA covers most of the functionality of the Library painter, and some of that of the Application and Project painters.
You can:
-
Copy, delete, move, rename, and export objects in a PBL
-
Import and compile objects
-
Create an executable or a PowerBuilder Dynamic Library (PBD or DLL) with all of the options available in the Project painter
-
Look at the ancestor hierarchy of an object or see which objects it references
-
Create an entire application in a new library (called bootstrapping an application)
-
Open PowerBuilder targets from source control and perform diverse source control operations on target objects
