We are excited to announce that the Appeon for PowerBuilder 2016 Build 1119. 00 for Windows/Unix/Linux is now available for download.  A few important bugs have been fixed in this EBF version. Please first review the detailed Bug Fixes before you decide to upgrade your current version.

Please note/do the following before upgrading:

1. Please note that you need to close PowerBuilder and stop your application server (for example IIS, WebLogic, etc.) before upgrading.

2. If you have installed Appeon 2016, then please download a proper one from the links below and install it on the top of your current Appeon directly; if you are using a prior version before Appeon 2016, then please first upgrade it to the Appeon 2016 GA version, and then install this latest EBF version on the top of the Appeon 2016 GA version.

Please note/do the following after the upgrade:

1. Verify the product versions to make sure you have all pieces successfully upgraded: you need to start your application server and verify that AEM still works and displays the version Appeon for PowerBuilder 2016 Build 1119.00; and you also need to open PowerBuilder and verify that the “Get Support” icon also displays Appeon for PowerBuilder 2016 Build 1119.00.

2. Redeploy applications in a “Full Deployment” mode: once you have all the pieces upgraded, you now would need to do a “Full Deployment” of your applications to the upgraded Appeon Server to refresh all the old application files.
