You can use the Visual Studio Environment to build your application.
Only folders that contain deployable elements can be built.
Deployable elements include top-level classes (that is, Segment or Classes with no stereotype), report classes, user interfaces, reports, or Technology folders. While a number of build scenarios are possible, all other element types cannot be built, and the Build option is disabled.
If a folder is selected for building, but does not contain any deployable elements, nothing is built. During a build, a small window appears before the start of the build where the elements are locked. Hence, changes cannot be made to elements. Once a safe point for the build is reached, the locks on the elements are released and other users can modify the elements while build is in progress. Note that no two users can build the same deployable element at the same time.
To build applications using the Visual Studio Environment, perform the following:
Open the Class View window and select the model, or elements you want to build.
Using the configuration properties, specify deployment generation properties.
Either right-click and select Build, or on the Build menu, select Build.
All logging information is displayed in the Output window, while errors and warnings encountered are displayed in the Error List window.
In Windows runtime at the end of a build, a deployment package is created.
Logging information is displayed in the Output window, while errors encountered are displayed in the Tasks window. Double-clicking an error in the Tasks window, displays the line of logic or element in error.
At the end of a build, a deployment package is created.
Restrictions
The following restriction apply:
In Windows platform, if Builder is not configured to perform a full application build and deployment, you have to manually transfer the deployment package once it is created.
