Starting from PowerBuilder 2025, PowerBuilder Compiler (PBC) is integrated into PBAutoBuild and the executable file (pbc250.exe) is no longer provided.
The parameters supported by PBC will be kept unchanged and supported in exactly the same way as before by PBAutoBuild. You only need to add /pbc parameter to the PBAutoBuild command (to switch to the PBC approach).
That is to say, you need to replace "pbc220" or "pbc250" with "pbautobuild250 /pbc" and leave the other parameters unchanged. For example,
-
To compile a project using PBC:
You need to modify the following command:
pbc250 /c pbwfile or pbtfile [/compilemode]
To this command:
pbautobuild250 /pbc /c pbwfile or pbtfile [/compilemode] //include /pbc to switch to the PBC approach, the other parameters remain unchanged
-
To deploy a project using PBC:
You need to modify the following command:
pbc250 /d pbwfile or pbtfile [/compilemode] [/options]
To this command:
pbautobuild250 /pbc /d pbwfile or pbtfile [/compilemode] [/options] //include /pbc to switch to the PBC approach, the other parameters remain unchanged
Note
You must include the /pbc parameter if you want to build the project using the PBC approach, otherwise (if /pbc is not specified), the project will be built with the PBAutoBuild approach (the default mode).
