Setting up a parallel platform

About this task

This operation shows how to copy a new project hierarchy for a parallel platform, from an existing project hierarchy.

Procedure

  1. Set up the new platform values you will need in the om_hosts.cfg file.

    This operation is described in Setting up platforms (page 8).

  2. Copy a new project hierarchy from the existing project hierarchy.

    Remember to set the platform value and to give the project version a meaningful name. Ensure that the version and platform are used in the work area path to make work areas for parallel projects distinct.

  3. Verify that your new project hierarchy builds successfully.

    You may need to change the makefiles and project macros.

  4. Baseline your new project hierarchy.

    This operation is described in Publishing a baseline to developers (page 110).

Results

Now you can copy the build management projects from this baseline.
