It's been a little while since I ran ABE or Deployer in Windows, but if the issue is indeed related to the inclusion of C: in your paths, then just remove it. I.e., instead of C:/SoftwareAG11, just use /SoftwareAG11. Alternatively, you could try Windows-style delimiters but escape them if you need to, e.g. C:\\SoftwareAG11

Hello All,
Need quick help on the build creation through jenkins.
I'm working on POC to implement CI/CD setup using gitlab and jenkins.
- I have created a pacakge using local server and commited the code to git lab.
- created a project in jenkins and written a pipeline script for build, deploy and test.
- I'm able to create a build but deploy step is failing.
deploy step: ant -DSAGHome=C:/SoftwareAG11 -DSAG_CI_HOME=C:/SoftwareAG11/common/AssetBuildEnvironment/sagdevops-ci-assets -DprojectName=wmdeploy1 -DbuildOutputDir=C:/SoftwareAG11/buildoutput -DrepositoryName=C:/SoftwareAG11/webmethods-sample-project-layout deploy
C:\SoftwareAG11\common\AssetBuildEnvironment\sagdevops-ci-assets\${workspace.dir}\ProjectAutomator\wmdeploy1DeploymentSpec.xml this is autogenrated when i ran the deploy step, it is validating with ProjectAutomator.xsd. The XML validating with xsd and it is getting failed.
