Modifying Build Configurations

To modify an existing build configuration, there are two procedures, depending on whether you want to modify the properties and scripts, or the build areas, targets, sources, and options.

To modify the properties or scripts of an existing build configuration:

1. In the Build Administration Console, select the Build Management tab if it is not selected already.

2. Expand the Dimensions Projects tree until you can see the build configuration that you want to modify.

5. Click the Edit/View icon.

The Edit Build Configuration dialog box appears.

6. Use the Properties tab to edit the project details and time out details, as described in Setting Build Configuration Properties.

7. Use the Pre-Script tab to edit or specify the details of the script, if any, that is to be executed before the build is launched (but after source files have been transferred to the build area). See Modifying a Build Configuration Script.

8. Use the Main Script tab to edit or specify the details of the main script. See Modifying a Build Configuration Script.

9. Use the Post-Script tab to edit or specify the details of the script, if any, that is to be executed after the build is launched. See Modifying a Build Configuration Script.

10. Use the Clean-Up Script tab to edit or specify the details of the script, if any, that is to be executed before the build is launched (and before any source files are transferred into the build area). See Modifying a Build Configuration Script.
