Automating the build management process

About this task

Batch files or scripts are great ways to automate the update and build process.

The advantages of automation include:

When you automate a build, be sure to log the output so you can diagnose any problems that occur.

Throughout this book, each operation is presented from the GUI and from the CLI. Use the commands in the CLI section to help build your batch files (Windows) or scripts (UNIX).

Note: When you automate builds, you will not be able to resolve conflicts before the build. If conflicts are found, you may need to run the build cycle (or parts of it) again.
