How can I create RTC Build Definitions and Build Engines with QT 4.8 and Rhapsody ?

Ankit Vashistha (125●6●27) | asked Sep 02 '14, 4:11 a.m.

Hi Jazzers,

We are doing manual build in our current projects and wants to automate the process for build and are not very much sure about which build engine to use.

I am trying to configure a Build Server with the Jazz-based Rational Team Concert(RTC) for a distributed team already using RTC 4.0.3. I may build with the Jazz Build Engine, of which I haven't found any downloads.

I can also configure ant but i didn't get any specific and clear documents upon them.

Scenario is :-

An RTC server with the source code repositories.

  • A Build Server with QT 4.8 and Rhapsody 8.0 and the Rational Team Concert Client for Eclipse IDE (version 4.0.3)
  • Developers using the RTC eclipse client successfully.

Can anyone point me to the correct documentation for this particular scenario?


Many Thanks in advance.

How do you build now?  JBE can handle single commands and integrates with RTC SCM well, so you can pull in code and get all the SCM contributions for free, e.g. changesets, work items, etc.  As far as Ant, we have lots of Ant tasks to handle build lifecycle and build contributions.  Both the JBE and the Ant tasks are found under hte Build Toolkit download on jazz.net.


I am not familiar with Rhapsody or QT, but if they have Ant tasks i would go with Ant.  If not, then script up whatever you do now for a process into some language that you are comfortable with and then call it from your preferred build engine.

You can find the JBE downloads on the "All Downloads" tab of each version of RTC out there. If that was your question, here a link for your specific version: https://jazz.net/downloads/rational-team-concert/releases/4.0.3?p=allDownloads .

As Spencer points out, JBE works with ANT.

By the way, on the machine that runs the Jazz Build Engine, you don't need to have Eclipse clients installed. You can package the ECJ (Eclipse Compiler for Java) if your builds are set up to run with Eclipse.

A good idea to get started with the JBE is to set up a test server (Tomcat/Derby) on a machine and play with the Money That Matters Sample that ships with RTC. Here the steps to configure the build engines: https://jazz.net/help-dev/clm/topic/com.ibm.jazz.install.doc/topics/t_config_sample_proj.html
