Hi,

Can you kindly let us know if the final builder is having a .Net API to program with?

We would like to automate, executing db scripts, synchronizing db, deploying code using the XML manifest we have.

Instead of doing the steps manually mentioned in the manifest we would like to create a XML(if Final Builder Accepts) and invoke the Final Builder API to kick start the build process.

Kindly let us know if this possible using Final Builder.

Thanks,

Mohamed Ameen

Hi Mohamed,   
  
 There is no API available to start a build using FinalBuilder, if you need to invoke FinalBuilder as part of a larger process then you can use the console version (FBCMD) to execute the FinalBuilder project.

 Paul.

Thanks Paul. Is it possible that Final Builder will accept all the actions as an XML file and execute it?   
  
 Thanks,

Hi Mohamed,   
  
 You’ll need to create the build project from within the FinalBuilder IDE, it’s not possible to generate the whole FinalBuilder project from an XML document.
