Hi, I have a requirement where I need to automate the IA Build process along with my Product build. I am planning to go with ANT Build automation of IA. The one thing I am struggling with this approach is, controlling Copy File action and add speed folder action from the ANT script. I need to modify/override the settings (like source file path) for these two actions relative to my build location. Could you please help me on how to achieve this. I also looked in to command line build option but the same problem I faced. Please help me as soon as possible.

The IA project can then be loaded and built on any system that has those specific environment variables set, and they can point to any path on that particular system.
If you need access to that variable in the ANT script you just need to add the following properties:
