The EGL software development kit (SDK) is a feature that lets you generate output in a batch environment, even when you lack access to the following aspects of WebSphere Studio:
You can use the EGL SDK to trigger generation from a software configuration management (SCM) tool such as Rational(R) ClearCase(R), perhaps as part of a batch job that is run after normal working hours.
To invoke the EGL SDK, you use the command EGLSDK in a batch file or at a command prompt. The command invocation itself can take either of two forms:
However you organize your work, you can specify a value for eglpath, which is a list of directories that are searched when the EGL SDK uses an import statement to resolve a part reference. Also, you must specify the build descriptor option genDirectory instead of genProject.
The prerequisites and process for using EGLSDK are described in Generating from the EGL SDK. For details on the command invocation, see EGLSDK.
