EGLSDK should implement incremental regeneration of IR files [35226]

Environment: Windows
Product name: IBM? Rational? Business Developer
Program Version : 7.5.1.3
Description.
The EGLSDK command line always regenerates the IR files regardless of whether any associated EGL files have been altered or not.

In the RBD GUI when generating EGL files the associated IR files are only regenerated if there are any alterations in the code and, even with such an alteration, in turn only the corresponding IR files to any altered code are regenerated.

So when generating with EGLSDK in batch mode, via build file, script etc as all IR files are newly created the batch generation takes longer than when building via the GUI as the dependencies then need to be calculated each time. This can be a significant overhead with large projects with many dependencies between projects where all IR files are deleted before generating the new versions, taking longer than the same equivalent operation in RBD directly.

    This RFE's Headline was changed after submission to reflect the headline of an internal request we were already considering, but will now track here.

    I'm updating the status of this enhancement from In Plan to Superceded. In the upcoming fix pack (RBD 7.5.1.5), we have made several significant improvements in our analysis during build, reducing the number of parts that get built in various scenarios. While we have not specifically implemented incremental build as described in this RFE, we think that the underlying intent behind your requirement will be met.

    If you still think that more needs to be done in this area, then you can resubmit this requirement in the future, and it will be evaluated in our planning for future releases.

    Thank you for this suggestion. We agree that this would be a good improvement, and we hope to implement it in an upcoming fix pack.
