Re: Possible to Combine import and build process

Hello,

Is it possible to combine a bootstrap import (based on .OLF file) with a build via command line ?

We want to do incremental builds that import only the changed objects and afterwards build only the exe and PBDs for the libraries that have changed or contain descendant objects that have been regenerated during the last phase of the bootstrap import (Regenerating descendants of imported objects)

If it's not possible to combine, how can we inform the build process which PBLs have been regenerated during the import phase ?

Re: Possible to Combine import and build process

alternative solution:

Powergen now only logs the descendant classes of changed (imported) classes and not the classes that contain changed (imported) classes (e.g. the classes that need regeneration).
If these objects could also be logged, we would be able to parse the log & generate the <build>.gen file ourselves, flagging all PBLs which contain such classes that needed additional regeneration.

Re: Possible to Combine import and build process

You can use a combination of a Syncrhonize function and Incremental Regeneration.

The Syncrhonize function will only import objects which have changed and performs a regeneration as part of the Import process.

The Incremental Regneration can be set to only regenerate objects (and those dependent on them) that have changed since a certain date, presumable the date of the Syncrhonize.

Regards,

Phil
