If your application uses the ASE database, please be aware of this difference: PowerBuilder uses the ASE native driver, while PowerServer uses the ODBC driver, for database connection.
Due to this difference, we have observed the following differences when running an installable cloud application against PowerServer:
-
The ASE stored procedure might return different values because the default value of the "Set ANSI Null" option is different in these two drivers. (Read more)
-
The data values of the SelectBlob variable are truncated in the installable cloud app, because the default value of the "Text size" option in the ODBC driver is 32KB. (Read more)
-
Garbage letters display in the installable cloud app when retrieving multibyte data from the ASE database because DBParm does not support the "charset" parameter when using the ODBC driver. (Read more)
-
ASE stored procedure returns transaction mode error when the installable cloud app connects to ASE through the ODBC driver. (Read more)
There might be other differences we haven't noticed yet. Please carefully examine the build and deploy process for any warnings or errors and fully test your application to make sure the data is correct.
