Building the Exported Assets
For detailed information about the topics in this section, including the properties in the build.properties file, see the webMethods Deployer User’s Guide.
To build the exported assets
1. Go to Software AG_directory /common/AssetBuildEnvironment/master_build and open the build.properties file.
2. Identify the SolutionName.zip export file as listed in the following table:
To build the assets from... | Take this action... |
A single project | Assign the location of the SolutionName.zip file to the build.source.project.dir property. |
Multiple projects | Assign the parent directory of all the project directories to the build.source.dir property. |
The build Ant target builds the .acdl files using all the source files available in the subdirectories of the build.source.dir directory. If the build.source.dir property is not specified, the build Ant target uses the source file specified by the build.source.project.dir property to build the .acdl files.
3. Set the enable.build.TN property to true.
4. Make sure you have assigned the correct values to the sag.install.dir, build.output.dir, and build.version properties.
5. Save the build.properties file.
6. Store the export file in the directory specified by the build.output.dir property. To do so, go to the Software AG_directory /common/AssetBuildEnvironment/master_build directory and run this command:
ant build
The build Ant target uses the properties in the build.properties file, validates the exported assets and the dependencies, and generates these files listed in the following table:
File | Contents |
SolutionName.acdl | Metadata for the exported assets; that is, a list of the exported assets and the dependencies. This metadata schema is defined by Deployer and is common across the webMethods product suite. |
SolutionName.bin | Actual data for the exported assets |
