Does the RTC/Buildforge integration support building only if there are source changes?

Will there be an out of the box, official, recommended Jazz/RTC adaptor/plugin availalbe within Buildforge that will poll RTC for source code changes?

Typically build system in an enterprise environment is designed to work against several source control systems. Given the amount of load, we need to really strike a balance between performance, reliability and throughput.

RTC comes with very good build features, I assume it would be easy to implement the source changes check within RTC build scheduler. I see couple of issues at the moment -

- Instance level maximum allowed CI interval property (prevents developers setting CI to run ridiculously, say at 1 minute frequency causing huge congestion on the CI system)
- Instance level property to help prevent developers from creating build engines (Developers often break the Buildforge integration by creating a BF engine. This intercepts BF events and causes hung builds in RTC. Also in most implementations there is a general policy around builds, what engines are supported, etc.)

Thanks

There is an out of the box adaptor for BF to integrate with Jazz.


For your first issue, you can enter a feature request and we can assess that request.

For the second issue, you can control that via the role permissions, although creating new build engines should not break the integration.  You should open a PMR if that is the case so we can troubleshoot that further.

Thanks, I've opened a pmr and proved that cloning a buildforge engine causes BF events to get intercepted and eventually  RTC-BF integration breaks. Looking for a work around...

Thanks
