A remote BES server +typically can't access these files as they are on different machines. A way +to work around this issue is to use Bazel with [remote caching]. Bazel will +upload all output files to the remote cache (including files referenced in +the BEP) and the BES server can then fetch the referenced files from the +cache. + +See [GitHub issue 3689] for more details. + +[remote caching](https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/blob/master/src/main/java/com/google/devtools/build/lib/remote/README.md) + +[GitHub issue 3689](https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/3689) + [Build Event Protocol]: https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/blob/master/src/main/java/com/google/devtools/build/lib/buildeventstream/proto/build_event_stream.proto |
