The MAKE operation is divided into a collection phase and a make phase.
The individual steps carried out by VMAKE during the MAKE operation are described in the section entitled
Process Flow of the MAKE Operation.Collection Phase
In the collection phase, the
description files of a target are collected and analyzed. The interdependencies between all of the files are collected at the same time. The system does not yet search for the module files in the hierarchy.If errors occur during this phase, VMAKE terminates without starting the MAKE phase.
MAKE Phase
The MAKE phase marks the actual beginning of the creation process for the SAP DB software. During this phase, the module files are created in the order of their interdependency.
If a module file
If an error occurs while a module file is being created, all the targets that are dependent on this module file will not be created either. This applies across all dependency levels.
If an error occurs while
