RTC Build Defn


Kiran Nagara (10741823) | asked Oct 22 '10, 8:49 a.m.
I have a build defn which has 4 Build engines, When I request for build the build has to run on all 4 build engines. Is this possible ?

I am trying this coz, I have to do the deployment by requesting the build, When I request the build the deployment has to happen on all 4 environments or build machines where my jbe is running... How can we achieve this?

No. A single build request is handled by just one build engine.

Two options come to mind:

1. Create four new build definitions that do just the deployment part
that needs to happen on each build machine. Assign each of those build
definitions to one build engine. Have the mast build definition issue
four new build requests, one for each of the deployment build
definitions, to do the deployment.

2. Use something other than Jazz Build to do the distributed deployment.
Jazz Build is good at distributing a set of builds among machines,
running one build on each machine. But it is not good at distributing
pieces of a single build among several machines, which sounds like what
you want to do. Other tools might do a better job of this.

Thanks David. I chatted with Kiran on Sametime and suggested option 1.
