Target File Name

 

A Target file is different than a Target. A Target is created as a result of a build, while a Target file contains the information about the Target, stored in a file.  A Target file includes the name of the final Target, the Build Type, and the names of all high-level Dependencies.   A Target File is created and edited on the Setup Build screen from the Web Client or the IPSF panel. From the Web Client, Target Files are given a default name, based on the name of the Target with an extension of ".tgt".

 

Target files created using the ISPF panels are saved in the location entered at the Target file Name field.  The Target file Name can be entered as either a fully qualified path name to a data set, or simply TGT(Target name). For example:

If the user's High Level Qualifier is

JDOE142.PAYROLL

and the Target name is entered as

TGT(prrtp01)

then the Target file will be saved as:

JDOE142.PAYROLL.TGT(prrtp01)

 

If you wish to save your Target to a different location, a fully qualified data set name can be entered.  For example:

JDOE142.SAVE.TGT(PRRTP01)

  

Target files are managed in XML format. It is recommended that the Target file be checked into your CM tool and managed along with the Target's source code.

 

The Target file Name is a required field.
