Description
While using distributed build from Orchestrator machine we specify config file for solution to build using MsBuild like "bxl /config:config.dsc /DistributedBuildOrchestratorLocation:DTP-ABC-IND:9090 /DistributedBuildRole:Orchestrator /DistributedBuildWorker:DTP-XYZ-IND:9090 /DistributedBuildServicePort:9090" and we have set inbound & outbound rule for Port 9090. But how do we initiate worker machine like we need bxl.exe running on worker machine for distributed build. And mainly on worker machine we need command like "bxl /DistributedBuildRole:Worker /DistributedBuildOrchestratorLocation:DTP-ABC-IND:9090" but additionally it asks to specify config.dsc. If so what will we specify in config file on worker machine as worker machine just need to build and all required things are specified in config.dsc file on Orchestrator machine.
