I'm working on a Go script to update the supported build engine for a specific build definition . Can someone point me to the correct API to use for this, or share  documentation that I can refer to?

Install the EWM SDK: https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2024/02/09/ewm-rational-team-concert-extensions-workshop-changes-for-7-0-3/ all classes related to build are in packages com.ibm.team.build.

Thank you Ralph Schoon for your response. I have figured out api to update build engine and build definition and also written script for the same.

These are the documented and public supported APIs: https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Deployment/ELMProductAPILanding


There is no public Web/REST API for Build management I am aware of. The EWM Plain Java Client Libraries and the EWM SDK contain code for the build domain. I published some example code here: https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2015/10/28/build-artifacts-publishing-and-automated-build-output-management-using-the-plain-java-client-libraries/ 
The example is more around build results, but should provide a hint where to search for examples around build definitions.

  • Update Build Definition URL
    This api is used to update build definition. To update build definition payload , header and other required changes must be as follows.

    Header:

    User-agent - Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/89.0.4389.128 Safari/537.36 Edg/89.0.774.77
    accept - text/json
    Content-Type - application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8
    X-Jazz-CSRF-Prevent - JSESSIONID cookie in /jazz path
    Data - Encode data using function urllib.parse.urlencode(data) in python.
  • You can view payload from jazz.net web client -> Build Definition -> Edit build definition -> Try to change something that does not have impact on other data [In my jazz id I have not permissions for update so I have tried to update description which eventually fail but can see payload] -> Go to developer tool -> network tab -> click on update build definition url -> payload
  • Note - One need to reformat build schedule

Hi,

I am pretty sure that tis is not a public and documented API. Just so you know if its usage causes issues, IBM support might decline in fixing them.

To update the supported build engine for a specific build definition in IBM Engineering Workflow Management (EWM), formerly known as Rational Team Concert (RTC), you can utilize the EWM SDK or the Plain Java Client Libraries. Unfortunately, there isn't a publicly documented REST API for build management tasks like modifying build definitions.
