About Build Configuration Types

Build configuration types enable you to specify options that are required for a particular type of build configuration   . For example, for the Openmake build configuration type you must specify the URL to the Openmake build monitor as follows:

Option: DMOMSERVER (Openmake server path)

Value: http://localhost:58080

TIP  When you add a build configuration to a Dimensions project you have to specify a build configuration type. To specify a build configuration type that is not one of the Dimensions Build default types, you must add it first.

Dimensions Build includes the following build configuration types:

NOTE  You cannot modify or delete the base properties of the default build configuration types, or add new options. However you can modify the default options. To add new options you can add build options to your build configuration, for details see Build Options.
