The build plan is an XML file that makes the following details
available at preparation time:
- The files that need to be processed on the build system
- The build scripts that are needed to process them
- The location where the output will be placed
The build plan resides on the development platform and informs
the build client of all the build steps. For each step a request is
made of the build server.
Unless you set the
buildPlan build descriptor
option to NO, EGL produces a build plan in the following situations:
- Whenever you generate a COBOL program
- Whenever you generate a Java™ program or Java wrapper and
place the output of generation outside the workspace by setting the genDirectory build
descriptor option.
You can also create a build plan and invoke it at a later time.
For details on how to do this, see
Using a build plan after generation.
For details on the name of the build plan, see Generation output.
