Build Definition Properties


Roger Scott (96146) | asked Jun 24 '10, 4:30 a.m.
When Requesting a Build there is an option available to enter Properties for the Build. Is it possible to provide these properties in a file? For example we want the Load Directory and the build xml path to be variable. On the Build Definitions Properties Tab this does not appear to be possible.

As I understand RTC Build component, a build definition maps with a
build script (build.xml when using ANT). If the build script file is
going to change, that means different build so you should use a
different build definition.

But Load Directory could be dynamic based on a property of the build
definition. When you define the build definition, don't select RTC SCM
component integration and perform such integration from your build
script using the specific ANT tasks:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/rtc/v2r0m0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.team.build.doc/topics/r_workwithscm.html
using your custom defined property.

Hope this helps,

Chemi.

I am using document "CMVC-RTC2.0 Defects and Features Import" to install and import User Info/Defects from CMVC to RTC. I have installed both Client and Server Plugins but am having difficulty with the Import process as described in section 2.3 of the document.
The document says I should "..start the incoming process from the directory where the client code was installed, run the following command from the command line:
java -jar CmvcWorkitemConnector.jar &"

No client code has been installed as such so from which directory should this jar be started?
When I start it from the directory into which it has been copied I get errors.
How does this executable know which RTC Workspace/Project is receiving the import and where the CMVC Server is?

Has anyone successfully imported from CMVC to RTC using this procedure?

I would be most grateful for any help.
