Update API Resolutions usage using CLI

Edit online
IBM AD Build Client can be invoked in batch mode to update API Resolutions by using the following command:
IBMApplicationDiscoveryBuildClient /uar1 ProjectName
Where:
  • /uar1 is the parameter that is used to invoke the update of API Resolutions.
  • ProjectName is the name of the project where the API Resolutions process is triggered.
Note:
  • It is mandatory to have the API Extensibility feature enabled in IBM AD Build Client . To enable the API Extensibility feature, go to IBM AD Build Client > Project > Settings > Extensibility > Enable API/Macro handling by using a configuration file.
  • The Update API Resolutions must be used for the situation when the API Resolution File is modified, so the resolutions must be updated in the repository but without running a full build on the project (which might be time consuming).

The logs for the Update API Resolutions usage are available under: Project's Folder > UpdateApiResolutions_timestamp.txt.

The action that is performed in background, use cases and best practices are also available in HTML format.

  3. Drag IBMApplicationDiscoveryBuildClient.exe into the command window then type /? and press ENTER.
