As indicated by the numbers in the section called “Why is pre-configuration necessary”, four pre-configuration steps are necessary:
Task #1: Manually set up the Web application database server (non-PowerServer task). This task is no different from setting up the PowerBuilder application database server.
Task #2: Manually set up communication between the back-end DB server and the middleware PowerServer. Specifically, set up JDBC data sources (non-PowerServer task).
Refer to Database Connection Setup in PowerServer Configuration Guide for .NET or in PowerServer Configuration Guide for J2EE for instructions on this task.
Task #3: Set up communication between the Web application UI (hosted on the Web server) and the Web application business logic (hosted on PowerServer). This is done via the Web server configuration for the application (PowerServer task). This task is not required if PowerServer and Web server are set up on the same machine, because the communication will be automatically set.
Refer to Web Server Configuration Guide for instructions on this task.
Task #4: Configure PowerServer Toolkit so that it has sufficient information to automate the task of converting and deploying the target PowerBuilder application (PowerServer task).
Refer to PowerServer Toolkit User Guide for instructions on this task.
