Create an Initial Build Map for your Pipeline

A Pipeline's Initial Build Map is a snapshot of the standard and custom ABAP code components in the Pipelines QAS system (and their related objects), based on usage data from the Pipeline's Production system.

SAP Basis objects (delivery units SAP_BASIS and SAP_UI) are automatically excluded from the build map. To customize which components are excluded, use the [componentstoignore] section in config.toml. See Configuration settings.

To create an Initial Build Map for your Pipeline, run the following from your PowerShell window:

The agent creates a scheduled INIT_BUILD_MAP task that runs once only (two minutes from now) to create the Initial Build Map.

You can also create an Initial Build Map directly by running watcher.exe INIT_BUILD_MAP --pipeline <pipeline-name> from the command line.

In SeaLights, select the Filter button to add the app for your Initial Build Map to the Coverage Dashboard.
