PowerBuilder.TV - Developing an EAServer Migration Roadmap

Tuesday, January 31, 2017 at 8:00 AM PST (Los Angeles) / 17H00 PM CET (Paris).
Presenter: Don Clayton, President, Intertech Consulting

Many mission-critical PowerBuilder systems use EAServer in the middle tier to distribute business logic, pool database connections, manage memory, and perform batch services. As EAServer is now “end-of-life”, organizations need to develop a plan to migrate away from EAServer.

Intertech Consulting recently completed two successful EAServer migrations by migrating the logic to .NET. This presentation will cover strategies and tactics for recovering the middle-tier PowerBuilder code and the re-hosting the logic to keep those mission critical systems going. A variety of options will be presented so organizations can preserve their investment in PowerBuilder.
