Use Build Forge Agent as third party plugin


Rob Leach (3548) | asked Jun 02 '15, 3:33 p.m.
 I am trying to submit work (commands) to a build forge agent outside of the build forge server (console).

I've searched for any API documentation that demonstrates if there is a way to submit commands to a build forge agent but have only found API documentation (for Perl and Java) to communicate with the Build Forge server (console).

The closest document I came up with is this one: IBM Support

Is there a document or API document that identifies how to write a script to submit commands to a build forge agent?

The Rational Team Concert team did something similar in that they can use a build forge agent to run builds (commands). So I assume there is a standard way of doing that as a third party plugin which I'd assume RTC is to the build forge agent.

 That support document is pretty comprehensive.  I don't think there are other commands you could send directly to the agent.  RTC does do some command directly on the agents but they are the same raw commands getting sent.  There is nothing else you would need to do commands on the agent.
