Build fail errors when running the build script

The build script creates a database schema or imports metadata into the ETL tool.

Symptoms

The error BUILD FAILED can occur with a description.

Causes

The build script can fail for a number of reasons such as the applications.properties\BIbootstrap.properties files not set up correctly or the database environment variables are not set up correctly.

Resolving the problem

The user needs to isolate the error and fix the problem. Check the error messages from the build script output to isolate the problem. Running a build configtest command on the command line from the directory that the build script resides, tests to check whether the reporting environment is set up correctly. The results of running this command are displayed including a message that indicates whether the environment is set up correctly (BUILD SUCCESSFUL) or not (BUILD FAILED). The exact error message for failing is also displayed. If a command does not run successfully, then before the BUILD FAILED message, an error message report would specify where the issue needs to be fixed. An example of one of these error message reports is provided here:

----Report Start--------------------------
you should investigate the following issues:
no informational issues Error(s),
you MUST fix the following issues:
Error: please set JAVA_HOME=

In this case, the user did not set an environment variable correctly.
