Creating a build process in Ant

Corticon provides Ant macros for the corticonManagement command line utilities in the file [CORTICON_HOME]\Server\lib\corticonAntMacros.xml . You can download and install Apache Ant, and then add its /lib to your global path, and set its /bin to ANT_HOME.

Note: The Ant process needs to set the environment for CORTICON_HOME and CORTICON_WORK_DIR so that the macros can locate the necessary libraries and have the scratch location for temporary files. To do this, either start Corticon Command Prompt or just running corticon_env.bat before running Ant.

Compile

<attribute name="input" default=""/>
<attribute name="output" default="" />
<attribute name="service" default="" />
<attribute name="version" default="false" />
<attribute name="edc" default="false" />
<attribute name="failonerror" default="false" />

Example of a call to the compile macro:

<corticon-compile
input="${project.home}/Order.erf"
output="${project.home}"
service="OrderProcessing" />
