Client is seeking one Developer/Programmer to perform PowerBuilder duties.

Appeon PowerBuilder 2017 R3 replaced the previous version of SAP PowerBuilder 12.5 in March 2019. In the fall of 2019, the operating system was upgraded from Microsoft Windows 7 to Microsoft Windows 10. Since then the State has not been able to perform a full build/deployment from a Windows 10 OS device. The current build/deployment procedures are eight years old and do not apply to the current technical environment. There are several outstanding PowerBuilder fixes and enhancements that are waiting for a full build/deployment.

State developers have not received refreshed source code since October 10, 2019. They attempted to do fixes, but with the complexity involved could not resolve the issues.

There are eleven main business desktop applications whose source of truth has been compromised by lack of following code repository procedures and the inability to perform a full and error-free Appeon PowerBuilder 2017 R3 build using a Window 10 OS device. Because of this, the business community must either find workarounds or do without performing some critical functionality of their business.

Appeon suggests updating to the latest maintenance release for Appeon PowerBuilder 2017 R3 or upgrade to the latest version of Appeon PowerBuilder 2019 R2.

The underlying infrastructure and server platform that these PowerBuilder applications integrate with is being replaced (Lift & Shift) in 2021 due to end of support for server OS and hardware - the Lift & Shift project is dependent upon the need and ability for PowerBuilder applications to be successfully built and deployed.

Client needs an experienced, senior PowerBuilder developer to review the Appeon PowerBuilder versions and releases, determine proper action (patch/upgrade), prepare a plan, download, install, and perform PowerBuilder patch or upgrade full build, prepare/perform functional testing, prepare user acceptance testing, and deploy.

New full build/deployment procedures must also be documented and provided as knowledge transfer material to the junior developers.

Work is expected to be performed remotely due to Covid-19, and then onsite once situation gets better.

M inimum Qualifications
??? Five (5) years' experience in Developer/Programmer role.
??? Two (2) engagements lasting more than six (6) months each in Developer/Programmer role within the last three (3) years using SAP PowerBuilder 12.5 or Appeon PowerBuilder 2017 or higher

??? Detail-oriented and excellent concentration ability
