init

Edit online

Use this task to initialize a connection with the Engineering Workflow Management server for use of the System Definition tasks. The task must run before any other System Definition task. You can specify the repository address, user ID, password, and the name of the project area that contains the Enterprise Extensions System Definition data as attributes. If you do not specify these attributes, the task retrieves the values for the attributes from the file sharing information that is associated with the build file.

The following table describes the task attributes.

Attribute	Description	Required
repositoryAddress	Address of the team repository to use.	Yes
userId	User ID for authentication to the repository.	Yes
password	Password for the user ID.	No
projectArea	The name of the project area where associated data set definitions, translators, and language definitions are stored.	Yes

Notes:

The init task must be run in an Eclipse environment.
The init task can be accessed through the Build Extensions Toolkit namespace by defining that namespace in the project element and by calling the loadBuildExtensions task to register participating Engineering Workflow Management and Enterprise Extensions Ant tasks and types under the Build Extensions Toolkit namespace.
For example, you can enter the following code:
```
<project
    default="main"
    name="init"
    xmlns:xt="antlib:com.ibm.team.build.extensions.toolkit">
    
    <xt:loadBuildExtensions/>
    
    <target name="main">
        
        <xt:init   …   />
        
    </target>
<project>
```

Example

The following code illustrates the connection initialization.


	<xt:init
		repositoryAddress="https://youradress.com:9443/ccm"
		userId="user"
		password="pass"
		projectArea="Build Test"
	/>
