part.

2. In TeamConnection(build function):

a. The build administrator selects the EZEPREP collector of the initial build tree of

a program proxy in wa1 for f1, and requests a build.

b. TeamConnectionplaces the generator build event on the build queue, and the

generator build agent detects a new build event that it can service.

c. The build processor invokes the generator build script, which parses the name

of the generation conﬁguration map name from the generated part’s build

parameters.

d. The build script invokes the generator,which imports the conﬁguration map and

its references to the generation ENVY manager.The ENVY manager used by

generation is identiﬁed by a VisualAge INI ﬁle on the generation build server.

The ENVY/Manager-TeamConnectionBridge determines whether each

application referenced already exists in the generation Envy manager,and only

imports an application if that version of the application is not already in the

manager.

Note: For VisualAge Generator builds, you can use the environment variable

TC_ENVY_REFRESH to control when VisualAge Generator builders will

import the required conﬁguration map from TeamConnection.

TC_ENVY_REFRESH can be used to affect the following behaviors:

vIf TC_ENVY_REFRESH=null, the conﬁguration map will not be

imported from TeamConnectionif that version of the conﬁguration map

is already in the connected Envy Manager.

vIf TC_ENVY_REFRESH=null, the conﬁguration map will be imported

from TeamConnectionif that version of the conﬁguration map is not

already in the connected Envy Manager.

vIf TC_ENVY_REFRESH=notnull, the conﬁguration map will always be

imported from TeamConnection.This setting is important if you use

VisualAge DataAtlas to modify data elements that are dependents of

the conﬁguration map. In that case, if the data elements have been

modiﬁed since the conﬁguration map was exported to

TeamConnection,the builder will warn you that the conﬁguration map

is not synchronized with its dependent data elements

TC_ENVY_REFRESH=notnull. Such a warning allows you to import

the changed data elements into a new edition of the conﬁguration map

and export the resulting new version to TeamConnection,before trying

the build again

Setting TC_ENVY_REFRESH is only relevant in the environment of the

TeamConnectionbuild server that performs the VisualAge generator

builds.

e. The generator uses the ENVY/Manager-TeamConnectionBridge to update the

outputs and dependencies in the build tree.
