Retrieve the Build Engine used by the build using API
![](http://jazz.net/_images/myphoto/d3e6fed52bccfdb611ea5ba590d38e16.jpg)
Hi,
We would like to retrieve the build engine used by each build, I was able to get different information using the BuildResult and BuildDefinition object but can't seem to find the one for the Build Engine used. Is there a way to do it? Thanks.
Below is the sample information available on the overview tab:
Requested by: User
Build Definition: id.com.build
Build Engine: I NEED THIS ONE
Build History: 999 builds

Hi Ralph,
I have come thru this thread already but what I was getting was "all" the build engines supported by the build definition. What we are trying to do was to get what build engine was used by the specific build result/request. We are also looking into properties available to BuildRequest and BuildResult objects but it seems there is no available property related to build engine. Thanks.

I can see a property in the built properties. I used ant and let it generate the property file. So I assume there might be an information available. Unfortunately I have no time to play around with it.
