Sybase PowerBuilder is an application development tool for creating data-driven business applications, including applications for .NET, JEE and other frameworks. A .pbr file stores references to resources that a PowerBuilder application requires.
The resource list can identify files such as images, icons, cursors, sounds, libraries or other files used by the application. PowerBuilder uses the list during the application build or deployment process so that the required resources can be included with the application.
A PBR file is normally kept with the related PowerBuilder project and is not the application itself. It is a project-support file rather than a general-purpose data format.
Open the associated project in Sybase PowerBuilder on Microsoft Windows to use the PBR file during a build. PowerBuilder reads the file as part of the project or deployment configuration.
Because a PBR file is a text-based resource list, it can also be inspected or edited with a plain-text editor. Preserve the listed file paths and names when making changes.
A PBR file normally has no useful standalone conversion. It is a list of resources for a PowerBuilder project, not a document intended for export to another format.
When moving or rebuilding a project, update the resource paths if necessary and rebuild the application in PowerBuilder. Any resources listed by the file must be converted separately using tools appropriate for their individual formats.
