Starting the build servers

The software development team in our example is building large applications using a family named testfam, so they set TC_FAMILY to testfam. They plan to spread the

work across several build servers, taking advantage of TeamConnection's ability to perform multiple build events simultaneously.

Mark, the build administrator, has installed a number of build servers on the team's machines, for building OS/2 and MVS applications. As he starts them (in pairs), he groups them into pools, according to the work he expects to use them for.

Mark plans for the following pools:
