Chapter 10. Basic build concepts
This chapter defines terms and briefly describes the TeamConnection pieces that work
together in building an application. For more details, continue to the other chapters in
this section.
The TeamConnection build function has numerous features:
v It builds applications for platforms in addition to those it runs on. Currently you can
build applications using TeamConnection on the following platforms: AIX, HP-UX,
Solaris, MVS, MVS/OE, OS/2, Windows NT, and Windows 95.
v Its graphical representation of the structure of an application makes it easier to
visualize and change.
v It lets you build an application using any number of machines working in parallel.
v Because it is fully integrated with TeamConnection’s version control system, it
ensures that the correct versions of parts are used in a build.
v It can work not only with parts that represent files, such as C source files, but also
with parts that represent objects, such as VisualAge Generator applications.
v It can manage other steps related to software packaging and distribution.
