Carole Larkin MA, CMC, CAEd, DCP, QDCS, EICS is an expert in Alzheimer's and related Dementia care. She is a Certified Geriatric Care Manager who specializes in helping families with Alzheimer's and related dementia issues. Carole can consults with families via telephone nationwide on problems related to dementia. Her company, ThirdAge Services LLC, is located in Dallas, TX.By Carole Larkin
Alzheimer's Reading Room
Mara Botonis has taken years of knowledge and experience, and hours and hours of research and compiled it into an understandable, and more importantly, actionable guide for families to use during their journey with a loved one who has dementia.
The organization of the book is logical.
It begins with the philosophy of care (Biography Based Care) as the first ingredient of a successful plan to achieve the best care possible for a loved one with a dementia. Then it moves on to give answers to specific everyday problems that caregiver's experience, such as with communication, bathing, eating and incontinence. Excellent suggestions they are too.
The thing that makes this book stand above others is that these answers are easily consulted "on the fly", meaning in the heat of the battle, and that's what caregivers need most, instant suggestions to try.
As an extra added benefit this book also provides guidance for issues in the future by providing the needed tools for each family to create their own ongoing plan of care, to be initially completed themselves, and then reviewed and readjusted as the disease progresses.
What more could one want?
Help for now and a plan for the future based on the individual's specific needs and behaviors.
Finally, Mara devotes the last portion of the book to the most successful method to address what is known as "behaviors", the actions of persons with dementia that are detrimental to themselves, their caregivers and others.
That method is activity/redirection for the person with dementia. It helps keep the person off or on a lower dose of antipsychotic drugs. These drugs are so bad for persons with dementia. They can actually lower cognition in some, and turn others into "living zombies".
Not only does Mara talk about the methodology of activity based behavior modification but gives the reader many specific activity suggestions which can be used by the caregiver.
The reader is not left on their own to dream up activities for their loved ones. This is true help!
My final conclusion: Buy this book NOW! Don't wait another minute!

Air conditioners were the first major home appliance to use inverter control. Key semiconductor devices used for inverter control of a compressor motor include microcontrollers, insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) and photocouplers. Microcontrollers provide overall system control, pulse-width-modulation (PWM) generation and system protection functions. IGBTs and photocouplers reside in the inverter driver circuit and its interface, respectively. These days, more and more air conditioners feature a self-cleaning capability and a vector-controlled compressor motor for energy saving. Power factor correction (PFC) ICs or IGBTs are used in the power supply circuit to keep harmonics in the input current below the IEC limit.

Qatar was chosen to be the hosts of the 2022 FIFA World Cup, beating the United States, Australia, Japan and South Korea.
The Emir, his wife Sheikha Moza and other senior members of the ruling family and government were present at the award ceremony in Zurich.
Initial estimates for the cost of construction of stadia and other facilities were put at over US $ 50 billion, although the cost is expected to easily cross the US $ 100 billion mark.
December 2, 2010
Analysis and Forecast: Decreasing Risk
Qatar's winning bid has allowed Qatar to be catapulted into a leadership role in the GCC, after years of being seen as the newcomer in the region, in terms of development. In particular, it has replaced the UAE as the focal point for cultural and sporting activities in the region. Dubai, for instance, has failed in a previous bid to host the Olympic games.
The bid will likely secure a major part of the diversification efforts, as the country embarks on massive development projects and attracts businesses from the region.
However, there remain concerns about Qatar's ability to provide the necessary infrastructure and whether Qatar has sufficient funds. Qatar has a budget surplus estimated at about US $3 billion in 2010, and over US $35 billion of revenue. Public expenditure includes 30% on infrastructure projects. However, with the very high costs for the facilities' ambitious plans, Qatar will almost certainly be looking at massively borrowing. It has to ensure that with such levels of spending it does not accumulate long-term debt and end up in a situation similar to Dubai's. The government has not yet clarified how it intends to ensure that this massive spending will ensure long-term viability and economic benefits to the country, and ultimately contribute to diversifying the economy.
Therefore whilst winning the bid is a very good opportunity for Qatar, and the GCC, it also presents serious challenges that need to be addressed sooner rather than later.
The figure below shows the current Qatari economy break-down:

D-Link 28-Port Gigabit WebSmart PoE Switch, 24 PoE UTP 10/100/1000Mbit and 4 SFP Ports
Product Code: DGS-1210-28P
Share This Item:
|28-Port Gigabit WebSmart PoE Switch with 24 UTP and 4 SFP Ports
The DGS-1210 Series is the latest generation of D-Link Web Smart Switches featuring D-Link Green 3.0 technology. The series complies with the IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet standard. Support for IPv6 management and configurations ensure your network remains protected after the upgrade from IPv4 to IPv6*. By offering multiple management options, the DGS-1210 series allows quick deployment, infrastructure expansion, and seamless function upgrades. Targeting small and medium-sized businesses, the DGS-1210 Web Smart Switches provide functionality, security, and manageability for a fraction of the standard cost of ownership. The new DGS-1210-28P is a PoE Web Smart Switch that provides 24 10/100/1000 Base-T PoE ports with 4 Gigabit SFP ports. In addition to IEEE 802.3af compliance, ports 1-4 provide up to 30 watts of power output following IEEE 802.3at. The design allows more flexibility in power allocation for a variety of powered devices with affordable installation costs.
|Energy Saving
DGS-1210 switches are capable of conserving power without sacrificing operational performance or functionality by using D-Link Green 3.0 technology. Using the Energy Efficient Ethernet standard, the network will automatically decrease the power usage when traffic is low with no setup required. For environments not fully supporting the standard, DGS-1210 switches offer advanced power-saving settings including port shutoff and standby, LED shutoff, and system hibernation based on custom time profiles. The time profiles can also be applied to the PoE switch so that unnecessary power consumption can be saved during off hours. The DGS-1210 Series switches can also detect the length of connected cables to automatically reduce power usage on shorter cable connections.
|Easy Management
The D-Link Web Smart Switch series is designed for easy management. All configurations can be made through a Web interface regardless of the host PC's operating system. In the first installation, the SmartConsole Utility will automatically discover all D-Link Smart switches in the network, allowing administrators to assign IP addresses and the subnet mask quickly. It also allows simultaneous firmware upgrades to multiple switches, saving a great deal of time. Important management commands, such as download firmware or configuration file, offer a sophisticated method of batch operations for multiple switches.
|Auto Surveillance VLAN and Voice VLAN
The D-Link Web Smart series automates the process of setting up IP surveillance and VoIP devices on a network. Auto Surveillance VLAN consolidates data and surveillance video transmission through the network, sparing businesses the expense of maintaining dedicated facilities. ASV also protects the quality of real-time video by grouping IP surveillance devices on a single high priority VLAN. This ensures that surveillance video streams will not be affected when ordinary data traffic are at their highest levels. Similarly, the Auto Voice VLAN guarantees clear quality and efficient transmission for all voice communication.
|Extensive Layer 2 Features
Equipped with a complete line-up of L2 features, these switches include IGMP Snooping, Port Mirroring, Spanning Tree, and Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP). The IEEE 802.3x Flow Control function allows servers to directly connect to the switch for fast, reliable data transfer. At 2000 Mbps Full Duplex, the Gigabit ports provide high-speed data pipes to servers with minimum data transfer loss. Network maintenance features include Loopback Detection and Cable Diagnostics. Loopback Detection is used to detect loops created by a specific port and automatically shut down the affected port. The Cable Diagnostic feature designed primarily for administrators and customer service representatives, can rapidly discover the type of error and determine the cable quality.
|Secure your Network
D-Link's innovative Safeguard Engine protects the switches against traffic flooding caused by virus attacks. The switches also support 802.1X port-based authentication, allowing the network clients to be authenticated through external RADIUS servers. In addition, the Access Control List (ACL) feature enhances network security and protects the network by screening traffic from illegal MAC or IP addresses. ARP Spoofing Prevention prevents malicious intruders from sending massive fake ARP messages through a manipulated source. This protects important data from being stolen by Man-in-the-Middle attacks, and prevents wasting CPU cycles on these packets. For added security, the DHCP Server Screening feature blocks rogue DHCP server packets from user ports to prevent unauthorized IP assignment.

My love for Corvettes started when my father was a General Manager at a Chevrolet Dealership in Tennessee. I was 11 years old. We had two brand new 1960 Corvettes hidden in our basement garages before they were ready for the new car reveal. I was home alone and noticed the keys were in the cars.
I purchased my first Corvette in September of 2015. I have always wanted one but always thought they were out of my reach. But with my wife's encouragement, I took the plunge into Corvette Heaven.
My wife and I had planned on buying our first Corvette early in 2016 so we could take trips to visit grandkids and other family. Several times I came into the living room and found Linda on her little laptop looking at this black Corvette.
It was my daily driver for seven years until I got married in 1978 and started a family in Indiana.
I have always been a muscle car enthusiast. I was driving home one day from work and I spotted this 1996 Corvette Collectors Edition out of the corner of my eye.
I have had a love for Corvettes since before my teen years. I am now 61.
I remember being a wide-eyed adolescent when the new 1984 Chevrolet Corvette was introduced. I loved the multi-color LED dash, snug Recaro-styled seats, clamshell hood and the peacock effect of theater in the way the headlight buckets rotated around when turned on. The car looked like a spaceship out of the latest Science Fiction films of the time and I had to have one!
My name is Frank. 33 years after selling my 1964 Corvette at the age of 18, my wife, Barbara, and I decided it was time to add a Corvette to our family.

Bulldozer Benchmarks: AMD's FX-8150 Improves, But Still Lags Behind Intel
I've yet to get my hands on a retail system running AMD's new FX-8150 chip—its first one based on the Bulldozer architecture—but I was able to test some sophisticated spreadsheets on a basic processor in a DIY machine at the PCMag labs yesterday. The result shows improvements over AMD's previous high-end chips, but its performance still lags notably behind Intel's current generation.
To recap, AMD's new top end of chips is the FX family, which is code-named Zambezi. It is based on a new architecture called Bulldozer that uses modules that have two integer units while sharing a single floating point unit and other system components. The initial version is a four-module, eight-core version as the FX-8100 family. In particular, I tested the top-of-the-line FX-8150, which is rated at 3.6 GHz, with an Asus motherboard in a system with 8GB of 1600 MHz DDR3 memory.
As I discussed when I tested the new Intel Core i7-3960X (known as Sandy Bridge-E) last month, I've been testing processors with this set of Excel spreadsheets for years. Given the radical differences in AMD's architecture—in particular, how it adds more integer cores but fewer floating point and other components—I wondered how Bulldozer would compare with AMD's previous generation, the six-core Phenom II X6, and with Intel's current chips.
Here are the results:
Note that since the FX-8150 has eight nominal cores, instead of the six cores in the Phenom II X6, you'd expect performance improvements. In particular, I saw big improvements on a relatively large Monte Carlo simulation (where the older Phenom architecture had been particularly slow) and a nice improvement on a pivot table operation (involving counting and sums over a large database). In these cases, the FX-8150 seemed to be using all eight cores heavily. I was less happy with my largest test, a big data table that still takes the FX-8150 almost an hour and a half to complete.
In all these cases, Intel's six-core Core i7-3960 and even last year's Core i7-970 remain much faster. (Note that I'm not including overclocked versions of any processors in this table, since I didn't overclock the FX chip.) That's not really surprising since Intel's six-core, 12-thread processors are also much more expensive; the i7-3960 goes for $999 and the i7-980 costs $583 compared with $245 for the FX-8150. Intel easily holds the high-end mark, but charges accordingly.
What surprised me was how little advantage the FX chip has over Intel's mid-range Core i5 line. Recently, I tested mobile versions of the Core i5 chip (Sandy Bridge) and AMD's new A-series (Llano). Though the FX series tested much better than the Llano chips, it was only about on par with a 2.5 GHz mobile Core i5, doing better at the pivot tablet results, but worse on the data table. Note the mobile Core i5 is a two-core, four-thread chip. (Desktop Core i5s are four-core, four-thread chips that run at notably higher clock speeds and cost less.) This is very disappointing.
Again, based on previous reviews, like PCMag's, I wasn't expecting great results for the FX chip, but I did have higher hopes. Maybe, I'll see them in next year's Trinity chips which combine the next iteration of the Bulldozer architecture, known as Piledriver, with the mainstream A-series.

Astros Notes: Backe still recovering
Astros righthander Brandon Backe, who hasn't pitched in a game since suffering a left intercostal strain in early March, will throw a simulated game today for the first time since he was hurt.
If all goes well, Backe might be ready for a rehab assignment by late next week.
"I feel good," he said. "It's a slow process.
"Not trying to go any quicker than what they're telling me. I don't feel anything, so that's good." Asked at what stage of spring training he would be health-wise at this point, Backe felt strong enough to possibly make a two-inning, 40-pitch appearance, which equates to the first week of exhibition games and third week of a six-week camp overall.
"My arm's in better shape than it would be arriving to spring training," he said. "I feel like I could go and throw two innings in the first outing in spring training, but they're not going to let me."
Manager Cecil Cooper said it was possible that, after throwing a simulated game today, Backe might throw another one two days later, another one two days after that, then a side session and then "he might be ready to go pitch."
Cooper has options
With Kaz Matsui out of the starting lineup for the third consecutive game with back stiffness and Jeff Keppinger unavailable because of a sore back, Cecil Cooper's infield depth was limited to catcher Ivan Rodriguez and outfielders Jason Michaels, Michael Bourn, Darin Erstad and Carlos Lee as potential options if Geoff Blum, Miguel Tejada or Jason Smith were injured Friday.
"Pudge Rodriguez has played some third base, which gives me an option of moving Blum around a little bit," Cooper said. "As funny as it might sound, Darin Erstad has played a little bit of infield.
"And, heck, I might even have to stick him in some place. He's lefthanded, but I have to think of someplace.
"Michael Bourn has played second base before and shortstop. Carlos Lee's a third baseman.
"There's some options. I got some things. If we get to the point we need to, we can get creative. Jason Michaels told me he played third base one inning in this place, this ballpark. So we got options. Did I say they were (good) options? But we got options. "
Smith started at second base Friday. Michaels has played outfield most of his career, but he played an inning at third base against the Astros.
Lee was signed out of Panama as a third-base prospect, a position he played early in his minor league career. Rodriguez has taken grounders at third Erstad, who also serves as the backup first baseman, has come in from the outfield to play the infield in desperate situations when managers have ordered five infielders.
"I wouldn't feel comfortable at any of them, but I'd do it," Erstad said when asked what infield position he'd feel most comfortable playing other than first. "I've just played shortstop in five-man infields, but nothing crazy."
Added Lee: "I'd go stand there, sure. No, I wouldn't feel very comfortable, but I'd go do it."
Matsui at batting practice
Kaz Matsui took batting practice Friday for the first time since he was forced out of the lineup with a stiff back Tuesday.
"It went OK," Matsui said. "I want to run a little bit, but there was no discomfort."
Asked if he might be ready to return to the lineup today, Matsui said, "Maybe, yeah."Considering manager Cecil Cooper said he didn't expect Matsui to be ready until today at the earliest and that Matsui was ahead of Jeff Keppinger, it seems as though Keppinger might not be ready before Sunday.
"I'd say Kaz is closer to playing," Cooper said.
Paulino recalled
The Astros will recall righthander Felipe Paulino on Sunday so he can start that game against the Cincinnati Reds at Minute Maid Park.
He'll take the turn in the rotation that belonged to Brian Moehler, who is on the 15-day disabled list.
"We're going to recall Felipe Paulino and he'll start Sunday," manager Cecil Cooper said.
Coming up
LHP Wandy Rodriguez (0-1, 3.00 ERA) will make his third start of the season.
He's the only Astros starter with a quality outing in each of his starts this season.
RHP Aaron Harang (1-1, 0.64 ERA) will start for the Reds.

Describe the plant here...
|Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture
The fruits of some twenty-five or thirty species of Amelanchier are edible, those of several species being especially juicy, sweet and refreshing. Under the names juneberry, shad-bush, service-berry, sugar-pear and grape-pear, or their equivalents in other languages, the wild fruits are used for food in all parts of the North Temperate Zone. The product of one or another of the species plays an important part in the diet of North American Indians, who make use of the berries both fresh and dried. So, also, juneberries have been a source of food-supply to explorers, prospectors and pioneers, who testify to their value as nourishing esculents and pleasing dessert fruits. Juneberries are as yet little used where they must compete with other fruits, although they have many qualities to commend them for domestication.
The fruit of the juneberry is a small pome or apple, usually with five cells each more or less completely divided into two parts so that there appear to be ten cells. The seeds are small and thin-shelled, varying in number from five to ten. The pomes of some species are no larger than a pea, while in the best strains of other species they attain the size of a small crab-apple. They vary in color from dark red to a purplish blue or black and all have more or less bloom. The fruits resemble somewhat the pomes of the hawthorn, for which they are often mistaken. The juneberry, however, is superior to the more common hawthorn as a food product because the flesh is greater in quantity and is not so dry and mealy, the flavor is sprightlier and the seeds are fewer, smaller and thinner-shelled. The several juneberries are quite as variable in the character of their fruits, either within or between species, as are other members of the rose family to which Amelanchier belongs—sufficiently variable to suggest high potentialities in the domestication of the best of the wild species.
Juneberries differ much in the character of the plants. Some species are dwarf shrubs with many stems, while others are small trees with straight, slender trunks, the largest of which attain a height of 40 feet and a diameter of 8 or 10 inches. All of the species are vigorous and the American juneberries are hardy, at least two of them giving promise of making most desirable domesticated plants in regions too cold for any or but few other fruits. Juneberries are easily transplanted and respond to culture as readily as any other species of the rose family. In the garden, they thrive under the same care as that given the apple or pear. Insects and fungous troubles are not particularly apparent in wild species but it is probable that under artificial conditions juneberries would suffer from about the same insects and fungi that attack other pomes. Birds, especially the robin, take heavy toll and would prove troublesome to cultivated plants. The genus shows wide adaptation to soils and moisture conditions, there being few localities in temperate regions where other fruits are grown upon which some one or several of the juneberries would not thrive.
All of the plants in this genus, whether shrubs or trees, have value as ornamentals. The common juneberry of eastern America is a particularly beautiful plant in early spring, bearing large white flowers in profusion, which are well set off by the opening foliage and bright silky bud-scales and bracts. The trees are attractive ornamentals in fruit though the eastern juneberry is often infertile and sets few or no pomes. Trained as a tree or as a many-stemmed shrub, the several juneberries are all desirable lawn and park ornamentals.
From time to time strains of wild species have been brought under cultivation, some of which have been named and sparingly disseminated by nurserymen. So far all of the cultivated varieties have come from the bush-like species, most of them said to be from A. alnifolia. One of the first named varieties was success, a dwarf strain probably of A. canadensis, introduced by H. E. Van Deman, then of Kansas, about 1878; this variety seems to be no longer cultivated. Several western nurserymen now offer strains of dwarfs under the names Improved Dwarf Juneberry, Dwarf Mountain Juneberry, and Western Huckleberry. So far as their history can be learned, all these named varieties are selected strains from wild plants, no one as yet having set out to breed and improve juneberries. There are many distinct forms in the wild, some of them supposed to be natural hybrids, offering opportunities for selection in the amelioration of the species for the garden. There is no reason to believe that the species will not hybridize as freely as other members of the rose family. All looks to be favorable for the domestication of juneberries,—opportunities awaiting a man to do the work.
Juneberries are readily propagated from seeds and no doubt all would yield to budding, grafting and to the same treatment in the nursery given to apples and pears. Some of the species would, no doubt, vex the souls of cultivators by throwing up many suckers, but in garden culture this could be remedied by working on a non-suckering stock. Juneberries are said to be easily budded on the hawthorn. The suckers are commonly used in propagating the species used as ornamentals. The eleven species described under Amelanchier all have horticultural possibilities well indicated in the descriptions. The species giving greatest promise for their fruits are A. alnifolia, A. laevis, A. sanguinea, A. stolonifera and A. humilis. To these should be added A. canadensis as the most desirable juneberries for ornamentals. U.P. Hedrick.

In today's competitive IT environment, organizations are reducing development and maintenance costs, and improving the accessibility of their legacy applications. With the growth in technology and demand for n-tier architecture-based applications, corporations now have an opportunity to transform their "legacy" client/server PowerBuilder applications to Web-enabled PowerBuilder applications by migrating to PowerBuilder 11.0. PowerBuilder 11.0 provides the functionality to transform PowerBuilder client/server apps to Web-enabled .NET PowerBuilder applications with minor redevelopment, instead of rewriting the PowerBuilder application in J2EE or a .NET Framework, which can be an expensive proposition. The initiative to migrate legacy PowerBuilder applications to Web-enable PowerBuilder 11.0 applications, allows corporations to maintain pervasive, efficient, and cost-effective methods of accessing the data and functionalities that were provided in large and complex PowerBuilder applications.
The process of migrating a mission-critical PowerBuilder application can be complex, risky, expensive, and time-consuming, if the migration and deployment planning isn't done properly. If planned correctly, the migration of a legacy PowerBuilder application to a Web-enabled PowerBuilder 11 application can be achieved for a fraction of the cost, as compared to the cost of rewriting that application in .NET or J2EE.
We recently migrated several legacy applications, which were developed in PowerBuilder 8.0, 9.0, and 10.0 to .NET PowerBuilder 11.0. In this article, we'll focus on the best practices and the steps we took during the migration of an application from a PowerBuilder 8 (or higher) to a Web-enabled N-tier .NET PowerBuilder 11 application.
The Migration Process
The first step in migrating a legacy application to a Web-enabled application is to understand the architecture of the legacy application, since client/server and Web-enabled applications are significantly different in their architecture.
- A client/server PowerBuilder application is based on a two-tier architecture that can have a thin client or a fat client. If the application is based on thin client architecture, then the business logic resides on the server side. In that case, the business logic may be embedded in the stored procedure. If the application, however, is a fat client, then the business logic is embedded in the user interface.
- A Web-enabled PowerBuilder application is an n-tier architecture where business logic resides in the middle tier. Typically, in a Web-enabled application, a separate layer is maintained for the user interface, business layer, and database layer to reduce maintenance costs and increase availability and accessibility. As a result, once the application is migrated to a .NET environment, the business logic needs to be separated from the user interface layer and moved to the middle tier, and tested to ensure that the functionalities have remained intact.
The next step is to analyze the existing legacy PowerBuilder application and understand the requirements for Web-enabling it. The analysis phase includes meeting the stakeholders, understanding their application and the business and technical requirements that are to be met by Web-enabling the application. The following are some of the items to be considered during the requirements analysis phase:
- Analysis of the current legacy application, including the DataWindow objects used for updating and retrieving data.
- Differentiation between the non-visual user objects (NVOs) that could be easily migrated to .NET, and those that would require rewriting.
- Review the relevant application documents and baseline source code. Usually the business logic in a legacy PowerBuilder application is embedded in the events (DataWindow, button, and window) functions and NVOs. To migrate the application to the Web, it's important to differentiate between the information for the business, database access, and user interface layers.
- Elaborate the details of the application's current functionalities that need to be migrated to the application's server side and client side. It's important to maintain the data validation on the client side, whereas, the business logic has to be moved to the middle tier.
In our recent migration project, to transform a legacy application to a Web-enabled application, we used a two-phase approach (see Figure 1). The first phase was to upgrade the legacy application to a client/server PowerBuilder 11 application. The second phase was to migrate the client/server PowerBuilder 11 application to a Web-enabled N-tier PowerBuilder 11 application.
Phase 1 - Migrate the PowerBuilder 8 Application to PowerBuilder 11 Application
The following are the steps used while converting the client/server PowerBuilder 8 application to the client/server PowerBuilder 11 application:
Step 1: We started the migration process by making a backup of the existing system. It's very important to make a backup of the existing PowerBuilder code (PBLs).
During the migration process, PowerBuilder 11 replaces the old code with new code. As a result, a user can't fix the bugs in the legacy application if the old code has been replaced with the new code.
Step 2: Develop the unit and integrated test cases for the legacy application so that once it's migrated to PowerBuilder 11, the migrated application can be tested for accuracy. First test the application using the developed test cases in the PowerBuilder 8 environment. Then store the results. Once the application is migrated, test the PowerBuilder 11 application again to compare the results.
Step 3: Set up a development environment with the appropriate database connections and programming tools. It includes the following:
- Set up two development environments; one for testing and bug fixing the legacy application and one for the PowerBuilder 11 development environment for migration, testing, and User Acceptance Testing (UAT).
- Then set up the PowerBuilder 11 database server connectivity using Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) or Object Link Embedding Database (OLEDB) using PowerBuilder's Database Painter. The Data Source Name (DSN) and database connectivity from PowerBuilder 11 to the source database is to be established prior to proceeding further.
Step 4: Before starting the actual application migration process, we used PowerBuilder's Migration Assistant Tool, provided by Sybase, to help identify potential problems that may arise during the actual migration process. The Migration Assistant Tool scans the legacy libraries (PBLs) and highlights all the obsolete functions and events used in the legacy application.
PowerBuilder makes it very easy to use the Migration Assistant Tool. Just start PowerBuilder 11 and select New Option in the File menu. This opens up a new window. In the new window, select the Migration Assistant Tool in the Tools Tab, which brings up the Search for Syntax of Type window. To get a list of all the PowerBuilder functionalities used in the legacy application that are no longer supported by PowerBuilder from versions 8, 9 , 10, 10.5, select the option PowerScript New, Obsolete or Removed Syntax in The Search for Syntax of Type window. Next, select the libraries needed to migrate from the legacy application to PowerBuilder11 and click on the Finish button. This starts generating a list of all the obsolete functionalities used in the legacy application and are no longer supported in PowerBuilder 11.
After the Migration Assistant process is complete, the tool generates a Migration Report with a list of the obsolete syntax found in the application. The report lists the exact location, the object name, the function/event name, and the line number in the code where the obsolete syntax was found in the library (PBL), similar to the one shown in Figure 2.
Step 5. The next step is to share the report generated by the Migration Assistant with the stakeholders and identify the fixes for each of the issues listed. We found it useful to log the bugs identified by the Migration Assistant tool with the relevant information, such as who modified the code, when the modifications were added, and the reason in case it was necessary to undo our changes.
Step 6. Once all the issues listed in the Migration Report are resolved in the legacy application, the next step is to actually migrate the application to PowerBuilder11 using the following steps:
- Step 6.1: Start PowerBuilder 11 and select the Open option under the File menu. In the Targets - To Be Migrated window, select the option Target To Be Migrated and click OK.
- Step 6.2: In the Migrate Application Window, select all the libraries for the legacy application that need to be migrated and check the boxes next to the "Information and Obsolete" so the results are displayed after the migration is done (see Figure 3).
- Step 6.3: After the migration process is completed, PowerBuilder will list all the warnings and errors generated during the migration process.
- Step 6.4: Based on the errors reported by the migration process, fix the errors in the legacy application and restart the migration process again. Repeat the migration process (Step 6.1 to Step 6.4) until there are no more errors reported.
Note: If an application uses the PFC framework then all the PFC libraries need to be migrated to the latest version. The PFC application workspace alone can be migrated, or the old PFC libraries can be replaced with the new libraries. The latest versions of the PFC libraries are here.
Step 7: Once the application is migrated to a client/server PowerBuilder 11 application, use the test cases to test it. We did both unit level testing and integrated level testing.
Note: As a best practice it's a good idea to maintain a log of the issues faced during the migration process and the resolutions used to resolve any issues. If there are any roadblocks faced during the migration process, work with the stakeholder, provide a possible work around, and put together a plan to overcome the blockages.
Based on our experience in PowerBuilder legacy application migrations, we found that 80% of the functionalities in the legacy application could be migrated using PowerBuilder 11, without facing any major roadblocks. The other 20% of the functionality can be migrated efficiently and effectively with proper planning (see Figure 4).
At this stage, we have a fully tested and functional client/server PowerBuilder 11 application. The next step is to move to Phase 2 and convert the client/server PowerBuilder 11 app to a Web-enabled .NET PowerBuilder 11 application once all the anomalies are addressed.
Note: Before moving to Phase 2, it's a good practice to make the sure the application is well tested by the end users and that the stakeholders have signed off on Phase 1 acceptance.
Phase 2: Migrating from a Client/Server PowerBuilder 11 Application to a Web-Enabled PowerBuilder 11 Application
For Phase 2 we used PowerBuilder 11 to deploy the client/server PowerBuilder 11 applications to browser-based ASP.NET 2.0 applications.
Setting Up the Web Server
Before starting the deployment of the application, we had to set up and configure a Web server. We used the following steps to set it up:
- Installed the .NET frame work 2.0 Redistributables and the .NET frame work 2.0 SDK downloaded from the Microsoft Web site.
- Configured Internet Information Services (IIS) on the Web server.
- Configured ASP Defaults (the ASP.NET version depends on the SDK version) for Web sites
- For printing the document in the Web application, we installed and configured:
a. The PS (PostScript) printer available on the system by renaming its profile to Sybase Data Window PS
b. Ghost script
- Verified that the following DLLs were installed, to run the PowerBuilder application on the Web:
a. Managed Code DLLs (Global Assembly Cache GAC)
b. Unmanaged Code DLLs (Normal PB runtime files)
Note: These DLLs are installed and configured automatically during the PowerBuilder installation process.
- Tested the IE Web controls to confirm that the following controls functioned properly on Web
a. TreeView Control
b. Tab Control
c. ToolBar Control
Creating a .NET Web Form Target
Once the Web server was configured, the next step was to create a .NET Web Forms Project and deploy the client/server PowerBuilder 11.0 application to a .NET application by using the .NET Web Forms Application Wizard that comes with the PowerBuilder 11.0. PowerBuilder 11.0 provided all the tools needed to deploy the client/server application to the Web.
To start the .NET Web Forms Application Wizard, we started PowerBuilder 11 and selected the New option in the File menu. In the New window, the target tab provided the .NET Web Forms Application wizard. We clicked on the wizard and then clicked the OK button to start the Web Forms conversion process.
Since we were migrating an existing application, we selected the "Use an existing library and application" option in the Create the Application Window. Next, we selected the library that needed to be migrated to a New WebForm application simply by specifying the target and the project name for our Web application. Then we provided the Web application name, the location for the resource files (.PBR files), images used in application, DLLs/API calls (if used in the application), and JavaScript (if used in application) to be deployed on the Web server.
After the wizard completed the deployment process, the following components were created on the Web server:
- PBDs and JavaScripts for the selected PBLs that contained the DataWindows
- Power Scripts that were converted to C# code and compiled to form the DLL (.NET assembly)
- default.aspx (homepage)
- Basic ASP pages required to run the application in the browser
At the end of the deployment process, the .NET Web Forms Application Wizard provided a list of all the features and functionalities that weren't supported by the Web-based application (see Figure 5). We then had to develop the unsupported functionalities in .NET.
Note: Some of examples of unsupported features include the Property 'Title' of the DataWindow, Copy/Past feature, use of the Oval/Rectangle, and OLE controls. The PowerBuilder 11 Help Manual provides a complete list of unsupported functionalities.
Once the application was successfully deployed on the Web server, the application was available to the user through the browser.
Based on our experience in developing Web-enabling applications, we've found that using PowerBuilder 11 tools, such as the Migration Assistant Tool and the .NET Web Forms Application Wizard, made this a very easy, cost-effective, and efficient process to Web-enable client/server legacy PowerBuilder (8 and above) applications. Following this step-by-step process can help mitigate any potential issues or errors in the migration process. Having a specific project plan can make it a much easier process than expected, while achieving the desired outcome.
