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
Note
ORCA can work with the PowerBuilder workspace only, and cannot work with the PowerBuilder solution.
