Build Engine Selection

Hi Tim
Open the Project Area
Process Configuration Tab
Project Configuration -> Configuration Data -> Dashboard Templates

You can set up the different scopes (team, project, role)

Cheers

Is it possible to define a dashboard template for projects, teams or
team members? This would provide a starting point for a dashboard
but then may be further customized by the project, team or
individual. I know we can share dashboards but they aren't editable
by anyone but the owner.

What is the algorithm used by Jazz to select one of several build
engines that may be available to run a requested build definition?

Build engines poll the server every now and then looking for build
requests. The build engine that runs the build is the first one that
polls the server after the build request is made. In other words, it's
essentially random.

Are local engines chosen first over remote?

No.

Is resource loading considered?

No. There has been some discussion of that, but I can't find a work
item covering that.

It would be good to have an option to select the build engine on the Request Build dialog.

Hi,

What version of RTC are you using? In RTC 3.x in the request build dialog - build options section, you can select a build engine. The feature was added with 16744: Allow the user to select a specific engine for the build request work item.
