inherit build engine parameters, ?
we have a lot of build engines.. a farm. when we want to change a parameter in the build engine, we have to go to every one and add/change it, over and over, and ... u get the idea.
is there a way to have a build engine hold the parms, and the other build engines inherit the parms from that one?
I should note, we have a special project that has build engines & build defs as the template holder. (you cannot submit jobs on this project area, and only jazzadmin can create/delete the engines/defs..)
thanks

Sam, I am not aware we have something like that. Does the parameter have to be surfaced to the users? If not, it might be an idea to have a common step in the build scripts to run a script that sets these from a file in the network.
Another approach would be automation (and I know you just think 'oh no, not another one' 8-). Otherwise this might be a good enhancement request. I however assume that something like this would still have to be done in each project area. sam detweiler selected this answer as the correct answer
Comments I didn't think so, but had to ask. I'll consider opening a ER.
Sam, there is work being done in the SDK. Please have a look here: https://jazz.net/jazz/resource/itemName/com.ibm.team.workitem.WorkItem/272836
