# 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.

{% hint style="info" %}
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](/knowledgebase/setup-and-configuration/sealights-agents-and-plugins/abap-agent/configuration-settings.md#componentstoignore).
{% endhint %}

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

Creates an Initial Build Map for a pipeline. The build map is a snapshot of the standard and custom ABAP code components in the pipeline's QAS system (and their related objects), based on usage data from the pipeline's Production system.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Command Prompt" %}
{% code title="Syntax" overflow="wrap" %}

```batch
slabapcli.exe buildmap run --pipeline <pipeline-name>

{% code title="Syntax" overflow="wrap" %}

```powershell
.\slabapcli.exe buildmap run --pipeline <pipeline-name>
```

{% endcode %}
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

| Parameter    | Required | Description                                      |
| ------------ | -------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| `--pipeline` | Yes      | The pipeline name (as shown in `pipeline list`). |

## Example

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Command Prompt" %}
{% code title="Command" overflow="wrap" %}

```batch
slabapcli.exe buildmap run --pipeline "HH_SLABAPCLI_170625"
```

{% endcode %}
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="PowerShell" %}
{% code title="Command" overflow="wrap" %}

```powershell
.\slabapcli.exe buildmap run --pipeline 'HH_SLABAPCLI_170625'
```

{% endcode %}
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

{% code title="Expected output (PowerShell)" overflow="wrap" lineNumbers="true" %}

```log
.\slabapcli.exe buildmap run --pipeline 'HH_SLABAPCLI_170625'
[2025-06-17 15:28:19.807+01:00] [info] Current ANSI Code Page: 65001 (UTF-8) (65001)
[2025-06-17 15:28:19.807+01:00] [info] Config pathname: ../config/config.toml
```

{% endcode %}

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

{% hint style="info" %}
You can also create an Initial Build Map directly by running `watcher.exe INIT_BUILD_MAP --pipeline <pipeline-name>` from the command line.
{% endhint %}

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