Symptom
Can ORCA or some other technology be used to generate Web Service proxy DLLs?
Environment
PowerBuilder
Microsoft Software Developers Kit (SDK)
Microsoft .NET Framework
Resolution
PowerBuilder uses the wsdl.exe and csc.exe utilities from the Microsoft Software Developers Kit (SDK) and .NET Framework to compile the .NET webservice proxy dll.
This only creates the dll, it does not create the proxy or structures in PowerBuilder.
For example, for this wsdl: http://footballpool.dataaccess.eu/data/info.wso?wsdl
The following command will create the Info.cs file:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\Bin\NETFX 4.0 Tools\wsdl.exe" /urlkey:EndpointURL /n:WebService /parsableerrors /nologo /f /out:"Info.cs" "http://footballpool.dataaccess.eu/data/info.wso?wsdl"
Then to compile the Info.cs file to the Info.dll:
"C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\csc.exe" /t:library /nologo"Info.cs"
ORCA can not be used to generate the webservice proxy or structures in PowerBuilder.
