BuildSystem: Snapshot on load
Hello
I'm involved in extending our build system. Besides a nightly build, that runs once per day and builds all product variants with all extras, we want to have a build that is performing the tests only and skips everything not required for this. This build is supposed to be run as often as possible. When I specify a Jazz SCM page for my build definition, I can specify that my build engine accepts all incoming changes. Anything else would not make too much sense, as everyone delivering a changeset would have to take care that the build engine workspace would get that change, too. But if I enable the "accept all incoming changes before load", then Jazz always creates a snapshot before loading. This is fine for a nightly build and a must for a release build. But if a build runs 3 to 10 times a day, I do not want my baseline numbers to mirror the amount of changesets deliverd to that component. Means: It's okay to auto-accept and auto-fetch the repo workspace, but I do not want to make a snapshot every time. Those "small" builds need not to be reproducable, their purpose is to give information about whether tests still run or not. So I investigated in the Jazz help if I could use the "teamAccept" and "teamFetch" Ant tasks, instead of using the build definition Jazz SCM page. The "teamAccept" tasks can have the name for the snapshot as an optional parameter. But the documentation is not telling whether a snapshot will be created in case the parameter is skipped or not. So, can I skip the creation of a snapshot when building? Thanks and kind regards, Stefan |

Hello,
If you use the "teamAccept" task and do not specify the snapshotName or buildResultUUID attribute, no snapshot will be created. Martha Jazz Developer Hello |
