# 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.

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

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

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

{% endcode %}

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

```powershell
PS C:\apps\SLABAPAgent\bin> .\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. In SeaLights, select the **Filter** button to add the app for your Initial Build Map to the Coverage Dashboard.

To create an Initial Build Map directly from the PowerShell window, run the following:

{% code overflow="wrap" lineNumbers="true" %}

```powershell
PS C:\apps\SLABAPAgent\bin> .\watcher.exe INIT_BUILD_MAP --pipeline HH_SLABAPCLI_170625 
```
