Build Definition Properties
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

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:

using your custom defined property.
Hope this helps,

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.
