Getting UserID for user requesting a build


Dan Thorson (111) | asked Jun 16 '09, 6:33 p.m.
Is there a property available that I can pass to a command line build definition that identifies the user requesting the build?

For example, we can get the location of the load directory from ${team.scm.fetchDestination} in the build definition. Is there a similar property identifying the user making the request?

Are these properties documented, and if so could someone point me in the right direction?

The requestor of a build is not currently included in the build properties.
If you need this, please file an enhancement request, providing more details about your use case:
http://tr.im/rtcworkitems

The built-in properties are described in the "Build properties" help topic in the RTC client (or see it here: http://jazz.net/help/rational-team-concert/1.0.1/topic/com.ibm.team.build.doc/topics/r_buildprop.html)

However, because the build engine architecture is open-ended, it doesn't list all properties. The configuration pages in the build definition editor generally describe which properties are exposed though.

You can also configure an Ant build to output a .properties file with all the properties.
