Field name

Description

Target Solution File

The solution file to be built.

Build Type

The type of build to perform.

Configuration

Determines the solution configuration to be built . (e.g. Debug|Win32). Several comma-separated configuration names can be specified : (e.g. Debug|Win32,Release|Win32).

Custom Configuration Preset

Determines the projects/configurations that will be built using a Preset previously saved in the Batch Build dialog. This option is useful when a complex combination of projects and configurations is required. The /Preset command option replaces both the /cfg and the /prj options.

Project

Determines a specific project to be built. By default, the dependencies of the project will be built as well.

Do Not Build Dependencies for the Project

Builds only the specified project configurations, ignoring any dependencies these configurations may have. When used in conjunction with Clean, this cleans only the specified configurations. When used in conjunction with /Rebuild, this rebuilds only the specified configurations.

Build all Projects Regardless of Errors

Makes a solution build continue regardless of specific projects failing to build. Normally, IncrediBuild stops the build when a project fails to build its output file. This option instructs IncrediBuild to continue building the remaining project configurations, regardless of previous projects failing to build.

UseEnv

Use PATH, INCLUDE, LIBPATH, and LIB environment variables instead of MS Visual C++ IDE paths.

Add Parameters to cl.exe

Allows additional compiler options to be added to all calls to cl.exe. Enter one or more commands separated by a space character, as they would appear in the cl.exe command line. e.g. /O2 /FA.

Remove Parameters from cl.exe

Specifies compiler options that will be removed from all calls to cl.exe. Enter one or more commands separated by a space character, as they would appear in the cl.exe command line. e.g. /Z7 /Zd /Zi /ZI.

Force Visual Studio Version

Forces a specific version of Visual Studio toolset to be used. This is especially helpful when working with upgraded projects, since Visual Studio sometimes uses the incorrect version to build a solution after it was upgraded.

Use MSBuild Instead of Devenv

Sets Msbuild as the top build manager instead of devenv.  Use this only if you are experiencing issues with the default Devenv builds, or if you need to pass arguments to msbuild manually using the MsbuildArgs option.

Arguments for Msbuild

Passes additional arguments to MSBuild when using the BuildConsole command's UseMsbuild switch.

Profile.xml

The Profile XML file is used to define how Automatic Interception Interface should handle the various processes involved in a distributed job. It is not necessary for Visual Studio or Make and Build tools builds,  but can be used to provide configuration options if those builds use additional processes that are not included in those packages. You are required to configure distributable processes in Dev Tools builds.

Avoid Task Execution on Local Machine When Possible

Overrides the Agent Settings dialog Avoid task execution on local machine when possible option. This allows you to free more resources on the initiator machine and could be beneficial to distribution in scenarios where the initiating machine is bottlenecking the build with High CPU usage.

Maximum CPUs to Utilize in the Build

Specifies the maximum amount of remote cores to utilize in the build. Overrides global max. CPUs/Cores in build setting.

Newest Allowed Helper Machine OS

Specifies the newest  operating system installed on a helper machine to be allowed to participate as a helper in the build.

Oldest Allowed Helper Machine OS

Specifies the oldest operating system installed on a helper machine to be allowed to participate as a helper in the build.

Build Title

Specifies a custom header line which will be displayed in the beginning of the build output text. This title will also be used for the Build History and Build Monitor displays.

Save IncrediBuild Monitor File

Writes a copy of the build progress (.ib_mon) file to the specified location. If only a folder name is given, IncrediBuild generates a GUID for the file name. A message containing the location of the saved .ib_mon file is added to the end of the build output.

Suppress STDOUT

Does not write anything to the standard output.

Output Log File

Writes build output to a file.

Show Commands in Output

Shows, for each file built, the command-line used by IncrediBuild to build the file.

Show Agents in Output

Shows the Agent used to build each file.

Show Time in Output

Shows the Start and Finish time for each file built.

Hide IncrediBuild Header in Output

Suppresses the IncrediBuild header in the build output.

Internal IncrediBuild Logging Level

Overrides the internal IncrediBuild logging level for this build. Does not affect output or any user accessible logging. Used mainly to troubleshoot issues with the help of IncrediBuild support.

Set an Environment Variable

Sets or overrides environment variables for the context of the build.

Stop On Errors

When specified, the execution will stop as soon as an error is encountered.  This is the default behavior in Visual Studio builds, but not the default for Make and Build tools or Dev Tools builds.

Additional Arguments

Add additional BuildConsole arguments manually. The value of this field will be concatenated to the final BuildConsole command line.

Internal IncrediBuild Logging Level

Overrides the internal IncrediBuild logging level for this build. Does not affect output or any user accessible logging. Used mainly to troubleshoot issues with the help of IncrediBuild support.

Nice Value

Specify nice value.
