Phase 1: REXEC

A build starts when the Dimensions CM server ’dmappsrv’ process sends an REXEC to a build node. You can also manually start a build using the REXEC command.

- If you execute the REXEC command manually, first use the AUTH command to authorize access to the build node, or use the /USER=<build area user> and /PASS=<build area password> options on the REXEC command.

- If Dimensions CM starts a build, the security credentials come from the AREA definition of the deployment area. These credentials are used in the same way as the REXEC options /USER and /PASS. If the area does not have credentials (which is an invalid setup for a deployment area), you may be prompted to enter the userid and password at build time. You can also issue an AUTH command prior to the BLD command.
