Installing the PBVM in EAServer or the Application Server Plug-in

If you plan to deploy PowerBuilder 11.5 components to EAServer or to the PowerBuilder Application Server Plug-in running in a third party application server, a set of PowerBuilder 11.5 runtime files called the PowerBuilder virtual machine (PBVM) must be installed on the same computer as EAServer or the plug-in. The PBVM setup program, available in the PBVM directory on the DVD, installs the required files.

NoteInstalling HTMLGenerator115 and PBDebugBroker115 For EAServer 5.x, the PBVM setup program also installs the PowerBuilder 11.5 version of the Web DataWindow server component (HTMLGenerator115) and the PBDebugBroker115 component that are required for remote debugging. Although the setup program copies these components to EAServer 6.x servers or to the Application Server Plug-in, the copied components do not work properly. However, you can use the EAServer setup program to install these components with the 6.2 version of EAServer.

StepsTo install the PBVM on EAServer or the Application Server Plug-in:

  1. Run the setup.exe program in the PBVM directory on the PowerBuilder 11.5 DVD.

  2. On the Choose Destination Location page, click Next if the default destination location is correct, or click Browse to navigate to the directory where EAServer or the Application Server Plug-in is installed and click Next.

  3. On the Choose Destination Location for Shared Files page, click Next if the default destination location is correct, or click Browse to navigate to the directory you specified in step 2 or to the Sybase\Shared directory and click Next.

    The setup program installs the PBVM in a PowerBuilder subdirectory of the directory you selected, installs the Web DataWindow and debugger components in the Repository directory, and exits.
