Build descriptor options

The next table lists all the build descriptor options.

Build descriptor option	Build option filter(s)	Description
buildPlan	Java target	Specifies whether a build plan is created
cicsj2cTimeout	Debug Java target Java iSeries	Assigns a value to the Java run-time property cso.cicsj2c. timeout, which specifies the number of milliseconds before a timeout occurs during a call that uses protocol CICSJ2C
commentLevel	Java target Java iSeries	Specifies the extent to which EGL system comments are included in output source code
currencySymbol	Debug Java target	Specifies a currency symbol that is composed of one to three characters
dbms	Debug Java target Java iSeries	Specifies the type of database accessed by the generated program
decimalSymbol	Debug Java target Java iSeries	Assigns a character to the Java run-time property vgj.nls.number. decimal, which indicates what character is used as a decimal symbol
destDirectory	Java target	Specifies the name of the directory that stores the output of preparation, but only when you generate Java
destHost	Java target	Specifies the name or numeric TCP/IP address of the target machine where the build server resides
destPassword	Java target	Specifies the password that EGL uses to log on to the machine where preparation occurs
destPort	Java target	Specifies the port on which a remote build server is listening for build requests
destUserID	Java target	Specifies the user ID that EGL uses to log on to the machine where preparation occurs
eliminateSystemDependentCode	Java target Java iSeries	Indicates whether, at validation time, EGL ignores code that will never run in the target system.
enableJavaWrapperGen	Java target Java iSeries	Specifies whether to allow generation of Java wrapper classes
genDataTables	Java target Java iSeries	Indicates whether you want to generate data tables
genDirectory	Java target	Specifies the fully qualified path of the directory into which EGL places generated output and preparation-status files
genFormGroup	Java target	Indicates whether you want to generate the form group that is referenced in the use declaration of the program you are generating
genHelpFormGroup	Java target	Indicates whether you want to generate the help form group that is referenced in the use declaration of the program you are generating.
genProject	Java target	Places the output of Java generation into a workbench project and automates tasks that are required for Java run-time setup
genProperties	Java target Java iSeries	Specifies what kind of Java run-time properties to generate (if any) and, in some cases, whether to generate a linkage properties file
J2EE	Debug Java target Java iSeries	Specifies whether a Java program is generated to run in a J2EE environment
linkage	Debug Java target Java iSeries	Contains the name of the linkage options part that guides aspects of generation
nextBuildDescriptor (see Build descriptor part)	Debug Java target Java iSeries	Identifies the next build descriptor in chain
prep	Java target	Specifies whether EGL begins preparation when generation completes with a return code <= 4
resourceAssociations	Debug Java target Java iSeries	Contains the name of a resource associations part, which relates record parts to files and queues on the target platforms
sessionBeanID	Java target Java iSeries	Identifies the name of an existing session element in the J2EE deployment descriptor
sqlDB	Debug Java target Java iSeries	Specifies the default database used by a generated program
sqlID	Debug Java target Java iSeries	Specifies a user ID that is used to connect to a database during generation-time validation of SQL statements or at run time
sqlJDBCDriverClass	Debug Java target Java iSeries	Specifies a driver class that is used to connect to a database during generation-time validation of SQL statements or during a non-J2EE Java debugging session
sqlJNDIName	Debug Java target Java iSeries	Specifies the default database used by a generated Java program that runs in J2EE
sqlPassword	Debug Java target Java iSeries	Specifies a password that is used to connect to a database during generation-time validation of SQL statements or at run time
sqlValidationConnectionURL	Debug Java target Java iSeries	Specifies a URL that is used to connect to a database during generation-time validation of SQL statements
system	Debug Java target Java iSeries	Specifies a category of generation output
targetNLS	Debug Java target Java iSeries	Specifies the target national language code used for run-time output
VAGCompatibility	Debug Java target Java iSeries	Indicates whether the generation process allows use of special program syntax
validateSQLStatements	Java target Java iSeries	Indicates whether SQL statements are validated against a database
