PowerBuilder Code Analysis & Migration

If you have legacy Powerbuilder applications, Nexaweb has the technology and experience required to migrate them to the web as a modular J2EE application.

PowerBuilder Code Analysis

The Nexaweb Code Analyzer for PowerBuilder quickly generates system documentation for your legacy PowerBuilder applications. It generates:

• A breakdown of DataWindows by type and detailed analysis of all controls, referenced DataWindows, events  and previews of the window – including code references
• Detailed breakdown of all source code artifacts
• Comprehensive source code statistics reports
• A full list of dependencies

PowerBuilder Application Transformation

The Nexaweb Code Analyzer for PowerBuilder also supports the transformation of your legacy PowerBuilder code into a web-based J2EE application with a rich internet application (RIA) user interface. A reference framework facilitates the transformation and reduces project time and risk via pre-built capabilities:

• DataWindow "Grid" - Nexaweb replicates the DataWindow in a Java-based environment as a ‘Grid’ component that links user interface, business logic and two-way SQL data bindings with a database. 
• Modernization IDE: The Eclipse-based Nexaweb Studio provides a visual environment for customizing the newly transformed PowerBuilder application.
• Client-side Business Logic - Nexaweb provides the same client/server look and feel that is familiar to PowerBuilder users yet delivers this through a rich user interface based on Java. Think of it as a "desktop in a browser."
