Powerbuilder Reverse Engineering Tool

This mode allows you to select a PowerBuilder target/application from the Target/Application list. When a target or an application is selected, the libraries used by the target or application are automatically displayed in the list. By default all objects of all libraries are selected. You can deselect objects and libraries before starting reverse engineering.

Reverse-engineering is the process of examining and recoveringdata or source code that is then used to build or update an OOM.You can reverse-engineer PowerBuilder objects to obtain a diagramof the class structure of those objects.

Before you create an OOM file from a PowerBuilder target throughreverse engineering, you can change the name of the file and itsdirectory, and you can decide whether to overwrite or merge thecontents of the OOM with an existing OOM file.

Ghidra (pronounced gee-druh;[3] /ˈɡiːdrə/[4]) is a free and open source reverse engineering tool developed by the National Security Agency (NSA) of the United States. The binaries were released at RSA Conference in March 2019; the sources were published one month later on GitHub.[5] Ghidra is seen by many security researchers as a competitor to IDA Pro.[6] The software is written in Java using the Swing framework for the GUI. The decompiler component is written in C++, and is therefore usable in a stand-alone form.[7] Ghidra plugins can be developed in Java or in Python (provided via Jython).[8]

As a 4th Generation Language (4GL) Rapid Application Development (RAD) tool, PowerBuilder is used by thousands of customers all around the world in industries as diverse as finance, aerospace, mining, entertainment, and education. Many SAP customers use PowerBuilder to customize their SAP installations. There are even SAP modules written in PowerBuilder. It is also used by government agencies at the local, state, and national level on every continent on earth. If you would like to learn more about PowerBuilder, please visit www.sybase.com/powerbuilder where you can also download an evaluation version of PowerBuilder and try it out for yourself. Come see why PowerBuilder remains one of the most popular application development tools in use today.

In this tutorial we will describe how to protect simple PowerBuilder application (official site ) against cracking, reverse engineering, disassembling and also we will embed such protection feature as licensing with software protection system Enigma Protector. We recommend to read this tutorial fully and apply all protection settings described there.

I will share with you some key points:\\n\\n1. About half of all Appeon customers are using EAServer as their application server and it is working reliably for them. It is true that EAServer is in maintenance mode and no major enhancements being made to it, but it is still a supported application server with thousands of companies using it . One of the key benefits is that EAServer can natively host PB NVOs and Appeon is most tightly integrated with EAServer, making the installation and configuration process a breeze.\\n\\n2. The server response of IIS to execute Appeon DataWindow retrieves is about 20% faster than several Java servers we tested, including EAServer.

EAS is basically at its EOL. IIs is not a real application server .. its a Web server thinks is an application server (\\\"wannabe\\\") and can not compete with the likes of the mature J2EE application servers in either performance or feature set. The only exception to IIS's application server handicaps is when you add something like the Appeon Server into the mix that is really an IIs \\\"Helper\\\" to significantly boost IIS's lack of full application server features. MS is of course counting on the fact that you will use IIs and once hooked - will want to seel you on a \\\"farm\\\" of servers, OS licenses, etc to compensate for IIS's les than stellar single machine performance.
