Hi,
Can anyone please clarify the difference between compile and force compile for a DS job?

Thanks..

If you change a job that contains a Transformer or Build stage, but the change does not involve these stages, then a compile does not re-generate and re-compile the C++ code associated with them - there is no point. This means that the compilation finishes rather more quickly.

A Force compile forces the compilation to re-generate and recompile that C++ code (in addition to the other things that a regular compile does).

Hmm, kind of like the classic Makefile - only recompile changed code. Someone must have been thinking

Brad.
