Running ant build scripts from cmd fails on Windows Server

[Former Member]

Hi all!

I'm trying to build and package ME on a Windows Server calling the ant build script targets from cmd. This works fine on a Windows XP machine. On a Windows Server machine however the ant internal calls to nwcetool.bat are failing because -files are not found in DEPLOYARCHIVES. And these files are really not there although they should have been created by nwcetool.

Does anyone have a clue why calling ant build script in cmd on a Windows XP machine will work but fails on Window Server?

Thanks a lot!

Hi Juliane,

Could you post the build log here?

We faced with the similar issue a while ago.

In our case the root cause was with the jdk.home property in the file custom.properties - incorrect path to JDK had been entered there. Check the path and make sure it is correct.

Thanks

Hi Ivan!

Thanks for the quick answer. I've checked again and jdk.home in custom.properties-file is set correctly. All targets that are not using the ceclt-tool are working fine. Only when it comes to packaging it's not working.

Calling nwcetool.bat directly using the absolute path of BUILDARCHIVES and DEPLOYARCHIVES works fine (not using ant):

nwcetool.bat -c "createsda -n me/ear -v sap.com -l local -type J2EE -counter 5.2.5.3.320 -scn ME -scv sap.com -deps sap.com:me/security/loginmodule C:\SAP\SAPME\SDK\build\results\server\package.sca\sca\BUILDARCHIVES\me.ear C:\SAP\SAPME\SDK\build\results\server\package.sca\sca\DEPLOYARCHIVES\me.web-ext.sda-5.2.5.3-Base" -e

I'll put the log entry in the following post as it rendered this post unreadable.

Thanks for you help!

Hi Juliane,

The fact that you can successfully execute nwcetool.bat directly may indicate that there is a problem with JAVA_HOME variable. When you execute nwcetool.bat directly the JAVA_HOME is the system value, which may be different from the value that is set by ant script. The JAVA_HOME value set by the ant script is the value of jdk.home property.

Try to check if the system JAVA_HOME value matches jdk.home value.

Also you may try to use DOS name for the JDK path in jdk.home property. For you it will look like

C:\PROGRA~2\JAVA\JDK15~1.0_2
