Workbench Command Line Interface overview

The Workbench for Eclipse Command Line Interface (CLI) is a separate installation from Workbench for Eclipse and can be installed on Windows or Linux. Workbench for Eclipse CLI is an application that provides the following functionality:

  • Facilitates integration with SonarQube by downloading sources in conjunction with the Jenkins plugin, BMC Source Code Download for Endevor, PDS, and Code Pipeline Plugin.
  • Orchestrates running Total Test unit tests in conjunction with the Jenkins plugin, Total Test Plugin.

SonarQube Workflow

  • The source is committed to PDS, Endevor, or ISPW. Workbench for Eclipse can, optionally, be used to commit source.
  • The Jenkins plugin, BMC Source Code Download for Endevor, PDS, and Code Pipeline Plugin calls the Workbench for Eclipse CLI to download source from PDS, Endevor, or Code Pipeline.
  • SonarQube analyzes the downloaded source.

Total Test Workflow

  • Unit tests are committed to source control or copied to a central file system.
  • The Jenkins plugin, Total Test Plugin, calls the Workbench for Eclipse CLI to run unit tests on the mainframe.
