Creating dynamic build property

0
P. A. (18●5●9) | asked Mar 18 '15, 2:19 p.m.
Hello,

I'm working on RTC 4.0.6. Setting up a simple build using JBE. I'd like to create a property that can be passed to the build script. I need the value of the property to be dynamic because it should be current date when that property is used. How do I create a dynamic property like this?

Hi,
If you request a build manually, you can edit the build properties when you request build. But if the build is started by schedule I don't think you can set the build property dynamically from RTC. However you can edit your build script to get the current date programmatically.

Thank you Lily for your reply. I know I can manually edit the properties when requesting a build, but the goal is to schedule this build. That's why I needed a dynamic property.

I believe in Build Forge there are dot commands that can be used for creating dynamic properties, which then can be passed on to the build script. I wanted to keep the build script parameterized that way instead of making the build script choose always choose current date programmatically.

I don't think the function is available in RTC now. There are some enhancement requests for the function:

Feel free to add comments in the enhancement requests.
