To build an application file based on both a property file and by passing parameters in the command line (AIX/Linux/MacOS/Solaris)

1. At the command prompt, run the commands:

   Export ANT_HOME=path Export JAVA_HOME=path dos2unix ant ant dos2unix build.xml build.xml dos2unix build.properties build.properties

2. Locate the file build.properties in your commandlinecodegen directory.

3. Open the file using a text editor such as Notepad. The contents are as follows:

   commandline.rep.url=http://host:port/repositoryname commandline.rep.user= commandline.rep.pass= commandline.rep.dir=localrepository commandline.rep.projectName= commandline.rep.projectDeployName= commandline.rep.projectDeploymentTag= commandline.rep.projectBranchName=

4. Fill in the property values as described in Table 1–1.

5. Run commandline codegen by issuing the following command from the command-line prompt in your commandlinecodegen directory:

   sh ant -propertyfile build.properties "-D{propertyname1}={propertyvalue1}" "-D{propertyname2}={propertyvalue2}" … "-D{propertynameN}={propertyvalueN}"

   When using a combination of a property file and command-line properties, the command-line properties override those specified in the property file. You need to list only those properties that you want to override.
