UNIX Platform Procedures

Note - The Export command works for ksh and bash. For csh, use setenv instead.

To build an application file based on a property file only (AIX/Linux/MacOS/Solaris)

1. At the command prompt, run the commands:

   Export ANT_HOME=path
   Export JAVA_HOME=path
   dos2unix ant ant
   dos2unix build.xml build.xml
   dos2unix build.properties build.properties

2. Locate the file build.properties in your commandlinecodegen directory.
3. Open the file using a text editor. The contents are as follows:

   commandline.rep.url=http://host:port/repositoryname
   commandline.rep.user=
   commandline.rep.pass=
   commandline.rep.dir=localrepository
   commandline.rep.projectName=
   commandline.rep.projectDeployName=
   commandline.rep.projectDeploymentTag=
   commandline.rep.projectBranchName=

4. Fill in the property values as described in Table 1 (optional properties may be left blank).
5. Run commandline codegen by issuing the following command from the command-line prompt in your commandlinecodegen directory:

   sh ant -propertyfile build.properties

To build an application file by passing parameters in the command line only (AIX/Linux/MacOS/Solaris)

1. At the command prompt, run the commands:

   At the command prompt, run the commands:

   Export ANT_HOME=path
   Export JAVA_HOME=path
   dos2unix ant ant
   dos2unix build.xml build.xml
   dos2unix build.properties build.properties

2. Run commandline codegen by issuing the following command from the command prompt in your commandlinecodegen directory (see Table 1):

   sh ant "-D{propertyname1}={propertyvalue1}" "-D{propertyname2}=
   {propertyvalue2}" … "-D{propertynameN}={propertyvalueN}"

   Note - When using the command-line properties method, you must specify values for all required properties. You also may specify values for any optional properties as is appropriate.

To build an application file based on both a property file and by passing parameters in the command line (AIX/Linux/MacOS/Solaris)

1. At the command prompt, run the commands:

   Export ANT_HOME=path
   Export JAVA_HOME=path
   dos2unix ant ant
   dos2unix build.xml build.xml
   dos2unix build.properties build.properties

2. Locate the file build.properties in your commandlinecodegen directory.
3. Open the file using a text editor such as Notepad. The contents are as follows:

   commandline.rep.url=http://host:port/repositoryname
   commandline.rep.user=
   commandline.rep.pass=
   commandline.rep.dir=localrepository
   commandline.rep.projectName=
   commandline.rep.projectDeployName=
   commandline.rep.projectDeploymentTag=
   commandline.rep.projectBranchName=

4. Fill in the property values as described in Table 1.
5. Run commandline codegen by issuing the following command from the command-line prompt in your commandlinecodegen directory:

   sh ant -propertyfile build.properties "-D{propertyname1}={propertyvalue1}"
    "-D{propertyname2}={propertyvalue2}" … "-D{propertynameN}={propertyvalueN}"

   When using a combination of a property file and command-line properties, the command-line properties override those specified in the property file. You need to list only those properties that you want to override.
