Scripting builds from App ArchitectYour last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

Hi,
I am looking for a way to automate a build through application architect. Basically you can assume that the model code has been placed in a directory. I want to take this folder and script AA to build the web platform. Then from here I can script it to be compiled and zipped up and ready to be deployed. Does anyone have any experience with this? I was told I could use the 'Model Utility' by some Sage folks, but I am struggling to find any documentation.

Is anyone doing any automated builds through the Application Architect in another way? Any advice?

-Dave

Dave,

I don't think that there is any documentation out there, the closest you will get is the Usage Information out of the Utility:

--build:{BuildAll|Build} BuildAll for clean build or Build for incremental. Default value:'BuildAll' (short form -b)
--type:{None|Interfaces|WebClasses} Determines which platforms to build. Default value:'Interfaces' (short form -t)
--model: Specifies the base path for the model metadata. (short form -p)
--output: Specifies the base output path for the build. Default value:'c:\sage\saleslogix' (short form -o)
@ Read response file for more options

From what I can tell, this won't do a deployment, but will build the site on the designated path. At that point, you could script the Pre-Compilation/Deployment by utilizing aspnet_compiler.exe (I have used the aspnet_compiler on a site running on Windows 2K8 x64 that wouldn't compile (IIS7, not sure if that was the problem, but it wouldn't compile even after installing the IIS6 compatibility). I used a quick Batch file to Pre-Compile the code and deploy it to my sites.
Here is a reference to the compiler: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms229863(VS.80).aspx

Additionally, and I just tried this, the ModelUtility is a .Net executable and it isn't obfuscated, which means that you could use a Reflection tool to view exactly how it works.
