Building All Components – the “buildall“ Command 

Use

This command triggers the build of all development components (DCs) available locally in the current development configuration, which means that they have been synced from the DTR or exist local-only.

The DCs are built in the correct sequence, based on the dependencies between the components as specified in the DC meta data.

If a component cannot be built, the utility displays an error log and tries to build the other components.

Prerequisites

All used DCs must be available either (pre-installed) as archives or as source files (so that they can be built).

This command builds the DCs that are locally available at this point in time in the context of the development configuration. If you forget to make DCs locally available (sync), they will be unknown to the tool. Therefore, it will neither try to build these DCs nor enter them into the error log.

To verify this, use the summary at the end of the standard log output (Standard Out), which contains the built DCs. We recommend to check this list to find out whether all expected DCs have actually been built.

You can also avoid the buildall command and write a script instead, in which you explicitly list all DCs to be built and call dc-build … for each individual DC. In this case, you must make sure that the used DCs are built before the using DCs.

       1.      Enter the values for the parameters as described under Mandatory Options.

Mandatory Options

-c buildall: This option specifies the command, in this case, buildall.

-f configurationRootFolder: The absolute folder path, into which the development configuration was imported.

For the Windows user name john and a development configuration test1, the root folder of the configuration would be:

C:\Documents and Settings\john\.dtc\test1

(provided that the storage location of the development configuration pool has not been changed).

For the folders and user specified above, the command would be:

dc -c buildall – f C:\Documents and Settings\john\.dtc\test1
