Build failed notification alternatives
Hi, we are using Ant builds in RTC 1.0.1. I'm trying to figure out a way to communicate to the team when a build fails. The RSS feed is ok, but something a little more obvious is desired.
I looked at email notification through RTC, but it appears that only work items are currently supported.
perhaps there is a way to customize the process so that when a build fails something happens, maybe opening a work item even against the build, which would cause an email notification?

Hello,
Currently the creation of a work item from a failed build is a manual process that is available from the build result. A user can click the "Create a new work item" link from the build result editor. There is not an automated way of doing the equivalent action. You may want to file an enhancement request.
There is a work item requesting email notification on completion of a requested build. You may want to add your comments to it: https://jazz.net/jazz/resource/itemName/com.ibm.team.workitem.WorkItem/50000

Hi,
I was searching around for a build related question, and I found this post. In case others stumble upon this question, we now have built in functionality that allows for you to configure automatic email notifications when builds complete. https://jazz.net/help-dev/clm/index.jsp?re=1&topic=/com.ibm.team.build.doc/topics/tcreatenotification.html&scope=null has more information.
Another option is to create a customized pre or post build participant that will take the actions you want whenever a build is started or finishes. We've configured pre and post build participants so they will automatically comment in a work item with build information. https://jazz.net/blog/index.php/2012/12/06/how-we-save-time-with-build-engine-participants-and-you-can-too/ has more information.
