IBM Streams 4.2

Configuring automated building

You can turn automatic building on or off in Streams Studio.

About this task

When you save a source file, if automatic building is selected, the project is automatically rebuilt upon save. If the project is defined to use an external builder, the default build for the project is performed.

Tip: When you develop SPL applications remotely, you might want to turn off automatic building. This setting reduces the amount of file synchronization and builds that occur as changes are made.
