IBM SC34-4499-03 manual Environment, Comparison operator are as follows ± EQ or == Equals

See ªSynchronizing the build of unrelated partsº on page 196 for an example.

Environment

This is the name of the environment supported by the builder, such as MVS.

The value that you specify here can be anything you like, but it must exactly match the environment value speci®ed in the command used to start the build server.

It is recommended that you follow a naming convention for this attribute, using values such as os2 and mvs.

Comparison operator and RC value

Together, these two attributes make up a Boolean expression that de®nes the criteria used to decide whether a speci®c build event was successfully accomplished, when evaluated against the value returned by the build script.

The Comparison operator and RC value ®elds on the GUI correspond to the -conditionand -valueattributes in the command.

The values allowed for these operators:

vComparison operator are as follows:

±EQ or == - Equals

±LT or < - Less than

±LE or <= - Less than or equals

±GT or > - Greater than

±GE or >= - Greater than or equals

±NE or != - Not equal to

vRC value can be any positive integer.

An example of a Boolean expression formed from these two attributes is return_value LE 4.

This expression means that the build event is considered a success if the build script returns a value less than or equal to four.

Parameters

This is a string passed to the build script as its argument.

For example, for a builder used for linking load modules, you might specify a parameter string of list,test.

Timeout

This attribute speci®es the number of minutes that a build server will wait for an invoked build script to return before concluding an error has occurred and stopping the build event.

If the timeout value is reached, the build event fails.

Because MVS builds are processed in batch mode but the build is submitted to the build server in real time, consider writing a user exit to check the time of day before allowing a build request to be submitted. Another approach to
