Configuration Files

The dmake utility consults two files to determine to which build servers jobs are distributed and how many jobs can be distributed to each.

Runtime Configuration File

The dmake utility searches for a runtime configuration file on the dmake host to know where to distribute jobs. Generally, this file is in your home directory on the dmake host and is named .dmakerc. It consists of a list of build servers and the number of jobs to be distributed to each build server. See "The dmake Host"" for more information.

Build Server Configuration File

The /etc/opt/SPROdmake/dmake.conf file is in the file system of build servers. It specifies the maximum total number of dmake jobs that can be distributed to each build server by all dmake users. In addition, it may specify the "nice" priority under which all dmake jobs should run.

See "The Build Server" for more information.
