Build (.BLD) File Compatibility

As discussed earlier, it is recommended that you create new local models, and therefore new build files as part of the upgrade process. If you use an old BLD file with CA Plex r7.1, CA Plex sends an error message (E-BLD-1777) each time you open the Generate and Build window. If you want to continue using the old BLD, review your Generate and Build Options to ensure they are compatible with CA Plex r7.1.

Pre 7.0 build files will cause the Build Directories section of the Generate and Build Options to be displayed using the AS/400 brand name instead of System i.

To prevent the error message being displayed you can add the following entry to the BLD file:

[Options]
Release=600
