Appeon PowerBuilder is an enterprise development tool that allows you to build data-driven business applications and components.
It is one of a suite of Appeon products that together provide the tools to develop client/server, Web, mobile, and distributed applications.
 

In this article I will show the steps to connect to Caché with Appeon PowerBuilder by using ODBC

Step1 :
Make sure ODBC Driver option is selected while installing IRIS

Step 2:
Configure ODBC IRIS Data Source by using ODBC Data Source Administrator 

Step 3: Configure InterSystems ODBC Data Source

Step 4: Test the connection (make sure IRIS instance is running)

Step 5: 
From PowerBuilder open Database Profiles, Select ODB ODBC from the list and click New... button

 

Step 6: 
Select Data Source "IRISHealth User" which we created by using ODBC administrator


Step 7: Test the connection under Preview tab by clicking Test Connection button

Congratulation! We have established successful connection to Caché
