# XML Interface - Usage

Last updated on Dec 22, 2025

## Overview

Once an XML file describing the tasks to be distributed has been created, the distributed build is initiated using the [IBConsole.exe](/windows/10.32.2/devtools-command-line) application, with the XML file as input.

For a comprehensive overview of the IBConsole.exe command line interface, see [this section](/windows/10.32.2/ibconsole-cli-options).

## Using IBConsole.exe Usage with the XML Interface

The basic command line syntax for running a distributed XML job through the XML Interface is:

```
IBConsole.exe [/Build|/Rebuild/Clean] [Other Options]
```

Where:

* **/Build** - incremental build

* **/Rebuild** - full build

* **/Clean** - deletes all task output files

* **Other Options** - refer to the [IBConsole.exe](/windows/10.32.2/ibconsole-cli-options) section for more IBConsole.exe command line options.
