Composition Environment Command Line
Tool
Use
This command line tool is intended only for SAP NetWeaver 7.1 Composition Environment (CE). You should not use it with other SAP NetWeaver 7.0 environment(s).
The SAP NetWeaver Composition Environment command line tool (CECLT) is an add-on to the NetWeaver Developer Studio. Using the CECLT, you can build and package development components (DCs) and SCAs files. You can use the command line tool to run an automated build on a collection of DCs that belong to a certain development configuration or if you do not have your own build infrastructure with a build engine. The commands it provides can be easily integrated into shell scripts, or run interactively. Furthermore, when run on a collection of DCs, the command automatically determines the correct build sequence. Therefore it can be treated as a simple, but complete build engine for the production of whole software products. The development configuration determines which components and which versions of that component are built together in the same context.
All SAP build plug-ins store logs and build results for each component that has been built in the /gen directory inside the components root directory. You can make these logs and build results available for further use. For more information about how to structure your folders in this directory, see Structure of the GEN Folder.
Requirements
The build command requires that all used build plug-ins, used libraries and the source files of the DCs you want to build are already available in the local file system. The corresponding locations must be set to the command using the command’s parameters. You have to first set up this environment. You have to retrieve the source code from the version control system, copy the used libraries from the build environment, define a suitable file system layout and so on. For the automated build, you have to integrate these tasks as additional steps in the build script before executing the build command.
Starting the tool
The CECLT is installed in the folder <Developer Studio install dir>eclipse\tools\nwcetool. The required environment variables have to be set as described in readme.txt before the tool is launched. The tool runs in an interactive mode where you can enter commands sequentially. The command help provides an overview of the existing commands.
