Additional commands supported for Build command

You can perform individual stages of build process by using the following sub-commands of the build command:

     build-cancel       Command to cancel build for viz project
    build-download     Command to download artifacts for given build
    build-status       Command to check build status or fetch status url for given build
    build-trigger      Command to trigger build for viz project
    build-upload       Command to upload viz project for build

1. build-upload command

To upload artifacts from a local path to a workspace, run the following build command:

 java -jar mfcli.jar build-upload -u <user> -p <password> -t <account id> -e <environment name> -sp <src-code path> -pp <props path>

 For example:

java -jar mfcli.jar build-upload -u abc@kony.com -p password -t 100054321 -e MyEnv -sp "D:\WorkDir\src.zip" -pp "D:\WorkDir\prop.json"

2. build-trigger command

To start build binaries, run the following build command:

 java -jar mfcli.jar build-trigger -u <user> -p <password> -t <account id> -e <environment name> -bid <build identifier> -pp <props path>

 
For example:

java -jar mfcli.jar build-trigger -u abc@kony.com -p password -t 100054321 -e MyEnv -bid sample-guid -pp "D:\WorkDir\prop.json"

3. build-download command
