Perming an action on build output - writing a custom application
Hey folks,
I'm trying to write a user-facing application that will allow them to select a directory containing build output. The action, specifically, is the automation of CD burning based upon the output.
Has anyone done anything like this previously?
What I was thinking is writing an PHP application that will run on the build server. Workflow is as follows:
1) A list of the build directories is generated for the user
2) The user selects one of the directories
3) The application calls the CD burning application with parameters
This may not specifically Jazz-related, but let`s consider it a brainstorming session. If I could utilize the CLM stack to perform this without custom application writing, it would be preferrably.
I`ve written a Java application to automate the CD burning; all I need is the `client` application to call it with appropriate parameters.
Any suggestions would be awesome possum
Thanks,
Chris

Hi Chris,
Do you already have a build definition that creates these build directories? Are you looking to add an option to an existing build definition? If this is the case, creating a post-build option (like post-build deliver) is the best route, but it's not simple and requires extending RTC client, server and JBE.
Or, are the build directories already residing on the build machine and you want to just create a brand new build definition to burn the CD? If this is the case, you could create an Ant or Command Line JBE build definition to call out to your application. The build definition could require a property set by the requestor that points to the directory you want to burn. This would just use the existing RTC client, server and JBE features.
