Configuring the Rational Build Agent shell script

The Jazz™ Build System contains a sample script named startbfa.sh that you can use to start the Rational® Build Agent. You can find the script in the pathPrefix/usr/lpp/jazz/v2.0/buildsystem/buildtoolkit/examples/startbfa directory, where pathPrefix is any prefix you specify when you install the SMP/E. This script is required to start the Rational Build Agent to specify credentials so that the agent can connect to the Jazz Team Server for System z®, and to provide you with access to libraries you need for Antz and native compilation. If necessary, you can copy this script to a work directory to modify and execute it.
Note: The script must be configured to suit your environment. Replace the variable strings in the sample script as described in the following table:
Table 1. Sample script variable strings
Variable Description
@pathPrefix@ Directory path to prefix the Jazz directory
Note: This is the prefix to the Jazz directory, so your prefix should include any prefix you specified as part of the SMP/E installation, and then /usr/lpp.
@javaPathPrefix@ Directory path to the IBM® 31-bit SDK for z/OS® Java™ 2 Technology Edition V5
@yourUserid@ The Jazz user ID
@yourPasswordFile@ The Jazz password file as defined by the BLZBPASS Job. See Running the Jazz Build Engine on z/OS for information on how to run the BLZBPASS Job.
@stepLib@ The STEPLIB DD (data set definition) to use in your z/OS build. For example, SYS1.LINKLIB:CEE.SCEERUN
@bfaBinPath@ Directory path to the Rational Build Agent executable directory
@bfaConfPath@ Directory path to the Rational Build Agent configuration file directory
@zLang@ Encoding used in host files. For example, IBM-037
@yourHomeDirectory@ Your home directory. Use this only when you have not defined the HOME environment variable somewhere else.
Run the startbfa.sh script when you are ready to start the Rational Build Agent and accept build requests.
