How do I enable post-build options in RTC for builds on IBM i (enterprise edition)
When I go to edit the build definition, the post-build tab indicates that there are no options available to configure. I am trying to enable a "Green Build" deliver to an integration stream as documented in one of the online articles.
Using RTC 4.04 and RDi Use Case: We have implemented a production release of software for 1 region of our company. We are now working with Region 2 on their enhancement requirements. I need to be able to support maintenance (break-fix) activities on region 1 while simultaneously developing for region 2. My plan was to copy the installed baseline to a new workspace, then use a green build stream to push break-fix code changes to an integration workspace, then accept changes from the integration workspace into the main development workspace. As this is IBM i, traditional language development, I am only concerned about source code for all of the above. |

Hi Phil, thanks for your question!
The short answer is, we should add an enhancement to allow some other post-build operations on our IBM i build definition (in your case, it sounds like the Post-build Deliver operation which is available, e.g. for a regular Ant build).
We have pre & post build commands which run on the IBM i (e.g. to call CL programs) but that's not what you're looking for.
In the meantime, one thought (apart from manual deliver) might be to have a "wrapper" general Ant build which uses an Ant script to launch the IBM i build request (i.e. using RTC build Ant tasks, see 4.0.4 reference), and uses the post-build deliver operation which would now be available to this type of build definition.
