eMake command-line options, variables, and configuration file

–

EMAKE_BUILD_MODE

Always set to local. Specifies that an individual eMake invocation on the Agent does not enter stub mode, but instead behaves like a local (non-cluster) make. eMake automatically uses local mode when the -n switch is specified.

--emake-android-root=<path>

–

Specifies the location of your Android source files. For details, see Using --emake-android-root for Builds That Do Not Start in the Android Source Root.

--emake-android-version=<version>

–

Specifies your Android version. The available values are 7.0.0, 8.0.0, 9.0.0, 10.0.0, or 11.0.0. For details, see eMake Options for Android Builds.

--emake-annodetail=var1[,var2[,…​]]

–

Specifies the level of detail to include in annotation output—a comma-separated list for any of the following values: basic : Basic annotation (enabled by default in cluster mode). If the JobCache feature is enabled, basic annotation includes information about cache hits and misses.

env : Enhanced environment variables file : Files read or written history : Serialization details lookup : All file names accessed md5 : MD5 checksums for reads/writes registry : Updates to registry waiting : Jobs that waited none : Disables all annotation. Note that this value disables basic annotation, even when the --emake-annofile option is used.

This option overrides the build class annotation settings set on the Cluster Manager.

--emake-annofile=<file>

–

Specifies the name of the XML-formatted log output file. By default, the annotation file, emake.xml, is created in the directory where eMake is run. If specified, implies at least “basic” annotation details.

The following macros are available:

@ECLOUD_BUILD_ID@ expands into the unique eMake build ID.

@ECLOUD_BUILD_TAG@ expands into the build tag from the Cluster Manager (this is displayed in the Name column on the Build tab in the Cluster Manager UI).

@ECLOUD_BUILD_DATE@ expands into an 8-digit code that represents the local system date where the build began, in the form YYYYMMDD.

@ECLOUD_BUILD_TIME@ expands into a 6-digit code that represents the 24-hour local system time where the build began, in the form HHMMSS.

Example: --emake-annofile=annofile-@ECLOUD_BUILD_ID@ -@ECLOUD_BUILD_TAG@ -@ECLOUD_BUILD_DATE@-@ECLOUD_BUILD_TIME@.xml

results in: annofile-4 -default_4_20090220184128 -20090220-184128.xml

--emake-annoupload=<0|1>

–

Enables (1) or disables (0) annotation file upload on the Cluster Manager. The default is 0 (disabled).

This option overrides the build class annotation upload setting set on the Cluster Manager.

--emake-autodepend=<0|1>

–

Enables (1) or disables (0) the eDepend feature. The default is 0 (disabled).

--emake-big-file-size=<N>

–

Sets the minimum file size (in bytes) to send through Agent-to-Agent transfers for direct file sharing between hosts. Default= 10KB.

--emake-build-label=<label>

ECLOUD_BUILD_LABEL

Sets a customized build label. These labels are literal strings and do not use available tags when defining labels for build classes.

--emake-class=<class>

ECLOUD_BUILD_CLASS

Specifies the build class for the current build. The class must match an existing Cluster Manager class previously created by a user. If this option is not used, or if the class does not match, eMake assigns the default class to the build.

--emake-clearcase=var1[,var2[,…​]]

EMAKE_CLEARCASE

Turns on support for specified ClearCase features—a comma-separated list of any of the following values: symlink : symbolic links vobs : per-VOB caching (for speed) rofs : read-only file system

--emake-cluster-timeout=<N>

–

If no Agents are available when the build starts, this option specifies the number of seconds to try to acquire Agents before giving up. The default is -1 (infinite), so the build waits indefinitely for Agents.

--emake-cm=<host>[:port]

EMAKE_CM

Sets the host name (either the IP address or machine name) and port for Cluster Manager.

Note that you cannot use --emake-cm and --emake-localagents=y in the same eMake invocation.

--emake-cm-security=<level>

EMAKE_CM_SECURITY

Security level of emake to Cluster Manager communication. Level is one of:

none: use http to connect to the Cluster Manager, with no transport layer security.

relaxed: use https to connect and verify the hostname in the server certificate, but accept self-signed certificates. relaxed is the default setting.

strict: use https to connect, verify the hostname and reject self-signed certificates. Using strict requires the use of --emake-ssl-cacert and --emake-cm-keystore.

--emake-collapse=<0|1>

–

Turns history collapsing on or off. When collapsing is enabled, dependencies between a single or several jobs in another make instance are replaced with a serialization between the job and the other Make instance. This action typically results in significant history file size reduction, but might cause some over-serialization. In most builds, this has little or no impact on build time. In some builds, disabling collapsing improves performance at the cost of increased history file size. Default=1 (on)

--emake-create-output-dirs=<0|1>

–

Turns the option to create output directories on or off. When enabled, a unique job is created for each output target (and its prerequisites), which ensures that any necessary output directories are created beforehand. This job is serialized with the jobs that require it, resulting in all of the necessary output directories being created early in the build process if they do not already exist. This can help avoid conflicts among highly-parallelized jobs that create output directories manually before doing their work. Since the creation of the jobs that ensure the directories exist is processed at parse time, this is quite efficient and unlikely to slow down the overall build. This option is only effective in GNU Make emulation; for other emulation, it is ignored. Default=0 (off).

--emake-disable-pragma=var1[,var2[,…​]]

–

Comma-separated list of pragma directives to ignore—can be one or more of: allserial, runlocal, noautodep, or all to disable all pragmas.

--emake-disable-variable-pruning=<0|1>

–

Disables variable table pruning. Default=0 (off)

--emake-electrify=mode

–

Changes the mode that Electrify uses for monitoring. Add the --emake-electrify=mode eMake option to your Electrify command-line options, where mode can be preload for LD_PRELOAD intercept or none for the no local monitoring. For information about Electrify, see Electrify.

--emake-emulation=<mode>

EMAKE_EMULATION

Sets Make-type emulation to a specific mode. Default emulation type is gmake. You can rename emake.exe to nmake.exe or gmake.exe to change the emulation type for all builds automatically.

Available modes: gmake, gmake3.79.1, gmake3.80, gmake3.81, gmake3.82, gmake4.0, gmake4.1, gmake4.2, gmake4.3, nmake, nmake7, nmake8, cygwin, ninja, ninja1.7.2, or ninja1.9.0

If specifying gmake3.82, see GNU Make 3.82 Support .

--emake-emulation-table= <table>

–

Configures default emulation modes for Make programs. TABLE is a comma-separated list of NAME=MODE, where NAME is the name of a Make executable and MODE is the emulation mode to use if emake is invoked as NAME.

--emake-exclude-env=var1[,var2[,…​]]

EMAKE_EXCLUDE_ENV

Specifies which environment variables must not be replicated to the hosts.

--emake-hide-warning= <list>

EMAKE_HIDE_WARNING

Hides one or more CloudBees Build Acceleration-generated warning numbers. list is a comma-separated list of numbers that you want to hide. The EC prefix of a warning number is optional and can be omitted.

--emake-history=<read|create|merge>

–

Specifies the history mode creation model. Default= merge.

--emake-history-force=<0|1>

–

Honors history mode even if the build fails. Default= 1 (on)

--emake-historyfile=<path/file>

–

Specifies which history file to use for a specific build. Allows you to change the default name and path for the history file emake.data set automatically by eMake.

The following macros are available:

@ECLOUD_BUILD_ID@ expands into the unique eMake build ID.

@ECLOUD_BUILD_TAG@ expands into the build tag from the Cluster Manager (this is displayed in the Name column on the Build tab in the Cluster Manager UI).

@ECLOUD_BUILD_DATE@ expands into an 8-digit code that represents the local system date where the build began, in the form YYYYMMDD.

@ECLOUD_BUILD_TIME@ expands into a 6-digit code that represents the 24-hour local system time where the build began, in the form HHMMSS.

Example: --emake-historyfile=historyfile-@ECLOUD_BUILD_ID@ -@ECLOUD_BUILD_TAG@ -@ECLOUD_BUILD_DATE@-@ECLOUD_BUILD_TIME@.xml

results in: historyfile-4 -default_4_20090220184128 -20090220-184128.xml

--emake-idle-time=<N>

–

Sets the number of seconds (N) before idle Agents are released to the cluster. Default= 10

--emake-ignore-all-intermediate=<0|1>

–

Causes eMake to not treat .SECONDARY targets having no prerequisites as meaning that all targets are intermediate. This option might increase performance on certain large builds with thousands of targets and reduce eMake runtime memory requirements (but breaks strict compatibility with GNU Make when emulating GNU Make 3.81 and later).

--emake-impersonate- user=<name>

ECLOUD_ IMPERSONATE_USER

Run the build as this Cluster Manager user.

For additional information, see the online help topic, “Permissions.”

--emake-job-limit=<N>

–

Limits the maximum number of uncommitted jobs to N where 0 means unlimited. Default= 0

--emake-job-timeout <seconds>

The number of seconds to allow a job to run before considering it timed out, after which it terminates and all output from the job is discarded. A message is logged in the job output indicating that the job timed out. Although the option is specified in seconds, by default the timeout is only checked at roughly 60 second intervals, so the granularity is really at the level of minutes. For example, a job that specifies a 90 second timeout really times out after a bit more than 120 seconds.

Although this option can be used in any mode, it is suggested to use with --emake-test-case-mode=1 (test case mode).

--emake-ledger=< valuelist>

EMAKE_LEDGER

Enables the ledger capability. Valuelist is a comma-separated list that includes one or more of: timestamp, size, command, nobackup, nonlocal, and unknown.

--emake-ledgerfile=< path/file>

EMAKE_LEDGERFILE

The name of the ledger file. Default= emake.ledger

--emake-maxagents=<N>

–

Limits the number of Agents used by this build. N=0 uses all available Agents. Default= 0

This option overrides the build class Max Agents setting if --emake-maxagents is set lower than the build class setting. This option does not override the build class setting if --emake-maxagents is set higher than the build class setting.

This behavior prevents a user from overriding the upper limit for a class that was set up by the build administrator.

--emake-mem-limit=<N>

–

Controls the amount of memory eMake devotes to uncommitted jobs. When the limit is exceeded, eMake stops parsing new Make instances. Default= `1,000,000,000 ` (1 GB).

--emake-mergestreams=<0/1>

EMAKE_MERGE_STREAMS

Indicates whether to merge the stdout/stderr output streams, yes (1) or no (0). The default is merge the streams (1). For most situations, this is the correct value. If you re-direct standard output and standard error separately, specify no (0) for this option.

--emake-monitor <hostname/IP>:<port>

–

Sets the hostname/IP and port of the system from where you want to view the live monitor data in the CloudBees Insight tool.

To monitor live build data, you must launch the Insight live monitor before you start the build.

--emake-pedantic=<0|1>

–

Turns pedantic mode on (1) or off (0). When pedantic mode is on, warnings appear when invalid switches are used, or potential problems are identified (for example, rules with no targets or reading from a variable that was not written). When pedantic mode is off, eMake ignores irrelevant switches or exits without warning if it encounters unresolvable errors. The default is 0 (off).

--emake-platform=<name>

-

On Windows, specifies the semantics to use for interpreting filesystem paths. Valid options are cygwin for Cygwin-style paths and mingw for MinGW-style paths. If not specified, or if any value other than cygwin or mingw is specified, standard Windows paths semantics are used. On Linux, this option is ignored: paths are always interpreted using standard Linux path semantics.

--emake-pragmafile=<file>

–

Specifies the pragma addendum file to use. This is a file containing additional pragma declarations to apply to the build.

eMake with Ninja emulation supports pragmas. Using pragmas for builds with the eMake Ninja emulation mode enabled (--emake-emulation=ninja) requires an addendum file that contains the pragmas for Ninja targets.

Pragma addendum files are optional with any other emulation mode. For more information about pragma addendum files, see Specifying Pragmas in an Addendum File.

--emake-priority=<low|normal>

–

Sets the priority for the current build’s use of Agents in the cluster. When set to normal, the build uses at least the minimum number of Agents set in Cluster Manager. The default setting is determined by the Cluster Manager.

This option overrides the priority associated with a build class but can be used to lower the build priority only.

--emake-read-only=<path>

EMAKE_READ_ONLY

All paths starting at the directories specified in --emake-read-only will be marked as read-only file systems when they are accessed on the agent. On UNIX, any attempt to create new files or write to existing files under those directories will fail with EROFS, “Read-only file system”. On Windows, it will fail with ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED, “Access is denied.”

--emake-readdir-conflicts=<0|1>

–

Explicitly enables conflict detection on directory-read operations (commonly called “glob conflicts,” which is only one manifestation of the problem). Allowed values are 0 (disabled) and 1 (enabled). The default is 0 (disabled).

If your build is susceptible to readdir conflict failures, you can enable these checks and get a correct build even if you do not conduct a single-agent build. The resulting history file is identical to a single-agent build result. Though the initial run with this feature might be over-serialized (a consequence of readdir conflicts), a good history file allows builds to run full speed, without conflicts, the next time.

You do not want to enable this option all the time. Instead, you should enable it for one run if you suspect a globbing problem, and then disable it, but use the history file generated by the previous run.

Another possible strategy to use, if you are not familiar with your build, is to enable the option until you get a successful build, and then disable it after you have a complete, good history file.

--emake-remake-limit=<N>

–

This option defaults to 10. If set to 0, makefiles are not added as goals at all and no remaking occurs. Setting the value to 1 is equivalent to the deprecated --emake-multiemake=0.

--emake-resource=<resource>

EMAKE_RESOURCE

The resource requirement for this build.

This option overrides the build class resource request setting set on the Cluster Manager.

--emake-root=<path>

EMAKE_ROOT

Specifies the eMake root directory(s) location.

Particularly on Windows, this parameter should not be used to virtualize your toolchain. Tools should be installed on each agent host for performance reasons and to avoid having to virtualize registry parts.

The semi-colon is the delimiter between drives.

Example:

build@winbuild-cm$ emake --emake-cm=winbuild-cm --emake-emulation=cygwin --emake-root=/c/cygwin/tmp;/c/tmp

Starting build: 867 make: Nothing to be done for `foo'. Finished build: 867 Duration: 0:00 (m:s) ` `Cluster availability: 100%

In this example, the C: drive is mounted on /c.

--emake-showinfo=<0|1>

–

Turns build information reporting on (1) or off (0). Information includes build time to completion and average cluster utilization. The default is 1 (on).

--emake-show-progress

–

Outputs the build progress, the number of agents running jobs, and other statistics as well as error messages and the latest warning to the console. This feature requires a VT100 or compatible terminal.

This feature is enabled by default, but it requires that stdout is not piped to a file, you are in cluster mode, --emake-merge-streams is true, and your terminal is a valid TTY and not a "dumb" terminal. If any of these requirements is not met, it is disabled. When this feature is enabled, the normal build output that would have been displayed to stdout is redirected to a file named emake.out.

All errors and the latest warning encountered during the build appear on the console. The build log is saved in emake.out and will also include all errors and warnings encountered during the build.

--emake-sort-roots=<0|1>

–

Enables (1) or disables (0) sorting of the eMake root directories in a history file, which are sorted alphabetically by default. This option lets you control whether the order of the directories in the history file follows the order specified via the --emake-root eMake option. The default is 1 (enabled).

If you switch the value of the --emake-sort-roots option, you must first delete your history file and remove the entire contents of your eMake asset directory (the .emake directory by default). This deletes all data for JobCache, scheduling, and dependency optimization.

--emake-suppress-include= <pattern>

–

Skip matching makefile includes (such as generated dependencies). Generally, you should not suppress makefile includes unless they are generated dependency files, and you have enabled automatic dependencies as an alternative way of handling dependencies.

This option is most often used along with --emake-autodepend=1 when you use the parse avoidance feature to help avoid a limitation in which if a parse job checks the existence or timestamp of a file without reading it, parse avoidance might not invalidate its cached result when the file is created, destroyed, or modified. For details, see Parse Avoidance Limitations.

--emake-test-case-mode=<0|1>

–

Turns test case mode on (1) or off (0). This option enables an execution mode specifically for test acceleration. The default is 0 (off) .

In test case mode, file system (and registry for Windows) updates from each job are discarded to disable conflict detection, history, and file-level annotation. This mode discards intermediate test results to restore agents to a pristine file system state after each test to ensure that each job runs as if no other tests ran. The results on stdout and stderr as well as the exit code and optimization data are preserved.

You must create a makefile specifically for this mode. You can use this mode with eMake in any emulation mode.

--emake-tmpdir=<path>

EMAKE_TMPDIR

Sets the eMake file temporary directory.

--emake-try-chain-locks=<0|1>

-

Enable (1) or disable (0) try-lock calls on the chain lock. When disabled, time waiting for the chain lock will not be tracked in the annotation file; this can be used as a workaround for a glibc bug in SLES 15 SP2 and SP3. See the "Known issues" section of the release notes for more information. The default is 1 (enabled). Linux only.

--emake-upload-reports=<0|1>

-

(cluster mode only) Enable/disable uploading of build reports to the cluster manager. The default is 1 (enabled).

TLS Configuration Commands

For more information, see Configuring TLS between eMake and Agents and Configuring TLS between eMake and the Cluster Manager

--emake-cm-keystore=<PEM-file>

-

Path to the combined certificate and keystore file used to identify eMake to the Cluster Manager. For example, --emake-cm-keystore=combined.pem. This file must be in PEM format.

--emake-cm-sslallow=<acl>

-

List of common names or organizational units (or both) that eMake will accept in Cluster Manager certificates and thus permitted to connect to the Cluster Manager, where <acl> is a comma-separated list of elements of the forms cn=common_name and ou=organizational_unit. For example, to indicate that the common names eric and cindy are permitted, specify cn=eric,cn=cindy. To indicate that the common name eric and organizational unit accelerator are permitted, specify cn=eric,ou=accelerator.

--emake-ssl-cacert=<PEM-file>

-

Path to the certificate authority bundle file. For example, --emake-ssl-cacert=cacert.pem. This file contains root and intermediate certificates that are needed to complete the end-entity certificate chain. This file must be in PEM format.

If you use TLS for eMake, all agents must be configured as well. For details about configuring agent machines, see eMake Command-Line Options, Variables, and Configuration File.

--emake-ssl-keystore=<PEM-file>

-

Path to the combined certificate and keystore file used to identify eMake to agents. For example, --emake-ssl-keystore=client-combined.pem. This file must be in PEM format.

If you use TLS for eMake, all agents must be configured as well. For details about configuring agent machines, see eMake Command-Line Options, Variables, and Configuration File.

--emake-ssl-allow=<acl>

-

List of common names or organizational units (or both) that eMake will accept in agent certificates and thus permitted to connect to the agents, where <acl> is a comma-separated list of elements of the forms cn=common_name and ou=organizational_unit. For example, to indicate that the common names eric and cindy are permitted, specify cn=eric,cn=cindy. To indicate that the common name eric and organizational unit accelerator are permitted, specify cn=eric,ou=accelerator.

For details about configuring agent machines for use with TLS, see eMake Command-Line Options, Variables, and Configuration File.

JobCache and Parse Avoidance Caching Commands

--emake-assetdir=<path>

–

Use the specified directory for cache locations for saved dependencies (for dependency optimization), JobCache, parse avoidance, and schedule optimization.

The default name of this directory is .emake. By default, this directory is in the working directory in which eMake is invoked.

You can also use this option with the dependency optimization and schedule optimization features.

--emake-jobcache=<cache_types>

–

Enables the JobCache feature for all make invocations in a build. This option works for recursive and nonrecursive builds.

You can specify any comma-separated list that includes one or more of the following values:

all —Cache all files listed below

ar —Cache .a or .la files. Assumes use of GNU ar or GNU ar compatible archivers (meaning that they have the same command-line convention and environment variable sensitivity as GNU ar)

cl —Cache .obj files. Assumes use of cl.exe or clang-cl.exe or both

clang —Alias for --emake-jobcache=gcc

clang-cl —Alias for --emake-jobcache=cl

gcc —Cache .o and .lo files. Assumes use of any combination of gcc, g, clang, or clang

jack —Cache .jack and .dex files. Assumes use of the Android Jack toolchain

javac —Cache .jar files. Assumes use of javac

ld —Cache .so files. Assumes use of GNU ld or GNU ld compatible linkers (meaning that they have the same command-line convention and environment variable sensitivity as GNU ld)

metalava —Cache .srcjar and .timestamp jobs that run Metalava

For details about these compiler options, see Job Caching.

When you use --emake-jobcache= to enable JobCache (rather than using #pragma jobcache, eMake ignores trailing digits and version numbers in filename extensions (such as 29 in framework.jar29 and .8.3.0 in libcryptopp.so.8.3.0 ) so that it can use those extensions to try to intelligently determine the type of JobCache to apply to a job.

--emake-parse-avoidance= <0|1>

–

Avoid parsing makefiles when prior parse results remain up-to-date and cache new parse results when appropriate.

--emake-parse-avoidance-ignore-env=<var>

–

Ignore the named environment variable when searching for applicable cached parse results. To ignore more than one variable, use this option multiple times.

--emake-parse-avoidance-ignore-path=<path>

–

Ignore this file or directory when checking whether cached parse results are up-to-date. Append % for prefix matching. To ignore more than one path or prefix, use this option multiple times.

Dependency Optimization and Schedule Optimization Commands

--emake-assetdir=<path>

–

Use the specified directory for cache locations for saved dependencies (for dependency optimization), JobCache, parse avoidance, and schedule optimization.

The default name of this directory is .emake. By default, this directory is in the working directory in which eMake is invoked.

You can also use this option with the JobCache and parse avoidance features.

--emake-optimize-deps= <0|1>

–

Use the saved dependency information file for a makefile when dependencies are the same and save new dependency information when appropriate.

--emake-optimize-schedule= <0|1>

–

Turns the schedule optimization feature on (1) or off (0). This feature uses performance and dependency information from previous builds to optimize the runtime order of jobs in subsequent builds. The default is 1 (on).

UNIX-Specific Commands

--emake-crossmake=linux

–

Use this option to choose the Linux operating system, so the Cluster Manager will use Linux hosts, specifically.

–

ECLOUD_ICONV_LOCALE

Allows you to set the iconv locale. Use iconv -l to list the available locales.

NOTE:

If you receive an emake assertion failure that contains information similar to:

emake: ../util/StringUtilities.h:406: std::string to_utf8(const std::string&): Assertion `c != iconv_t(-1)' failed.

This could mean that your system is missing an internationalization package, or the locale package has a different name for ISO 8859-1. (This issue is because of the conversion between 8-bit strings and UTF-8.)

For example, your system recognizes “ISO8859-1”, “ISO_8859-1”, and “ISO-8859-1” only. Set ECLOUD_ICONV_LOCALE to one of those valid locale names.

Windows-Specific Commands

--emake-case-sensitive=<0|1>

–

Sets case sensitivity for target and pattern name matching. This is inherited by all submakes in the build. The option applies when using gmake or cygwin emulation modes only; nmake mode is not affected.

The default for gmake and cygwin is on (1).

--emake-cygwin=<Y|N|A>

EMAKE_CYGWIN

Y =requires cygwin1.dll N =ignore cygwin1.dll A =use cygwin1.dll if available Default= A, if launched from a Cygwin shell, if not, then N. Default= Y, if eMake emulation=cygwin was set.

--emake-ignore- cygwin-mounts= <mounts>

EMAKE_IGNORE_CYGWIN_MOUNTS

Comma-separated list of Cygwin mounts to ignore. Unless listed, Cygwin mount points are replicated on the Agent.

--emake-reg-limit=<N>

–

Limits the number of registry keys sent automatically for each key. Default= 50.

--emake-reg-roots=<path>

–

Sets the registry virtualization path on Windows machines. The syntax is --emake-reg-roots=path[;path].

Do not use this parameter to virtualize your toolchain. Tools must be installed on each agent host for performance reasons and to avoid figuring out which registry parts to virtualize.

Debug Commands

--emake-debug=<value>

EMAKE_DEBUG

Sets the local debug log level(s). For a list of possible values, see the `emake --help ` message.

--emake-logfile=<file>

EMAKE_LOGFILE

Sets the debug log file name. Default is stderr.

The following macros are available:

@ECLOUD_BUILD_ID@ expands into the unique eMake build ID.

@ECLOUD_BUILD_TAG@ expands into the build tag from the Cluster Manager (this is displayed in the Name column on the Build tab in the Cluster Manager UI).

@ECLOUD_BUILD_DATE@ expands into an 8-digit code that represents the local system date where the build began, in the form YYYYMMDD.

@ECLOUD_BUILD_TIME@ expands into a 6-digit code that represents the 24-hour local system time where the build began, in the form HHMMSS.

Example: --emake-logfile=logfile-@ECLOUD_BUILD_ID@- @ECLOUD_BUILD_TAG@- @ECLOUD_BUILD_DATE@-@ECLOUD_BUILD_TIME@.xml

results in: logfile-4- default_4_20090220184128- 20090220-184128.xml

--emake-rdebug=<value>

EMAKE_RDEBUG

Sets the remote debug log level(s). For a list of possible values, see the `emake --help ` message.

Enabling this option disables parse avoidance.

--emake-rlogdir=<dir>

EMAKE_RLOGDIR

Sets the directory for remote debug logs.

Local Agent Commands

--emake-localagents=<y|n>

–

Instructs eMake to use any available local agents. The default is:

If you have installed local agents (and they are currently running), but you do not want to use them, then specify --emake-localagents=n (with or without the --emake-cm option). This lets you use cluster agents only (without needing to shut down running local agents).

If neither is specified but eMake detects that agents are running on the host, eMake uses them as if you specified --emake-localagents=y. The Cluster Manager prefers to allocate agents to eMake that are on the same host as eMake.

You cannot use --emake-cm and --emake-localagents=y in the same eMake invocation.

Local agents appear on the Cluster Manager with no special configuration needed. You can enable and disable local agents from cmtool just like remote agents.
