BuildResultUUID while using Buildforge Build Engine

Hi,

I have a RTC buildDefnition which is Jazz build Engine based.

This build definition is calling another build Definition which is BuildForge Build Engine based.

So

BDef 1 -> JBE

BDef 2 -> BForge

BDEF1 ant script is calling BDEF2 as its execution item using <requestTeamBuild> macro. so I'm able to get the buildrequestUUID of BDEF2.

Now my question is ,

1. how can I get the buildresultUUID of BDEF2 , since it is BForge Engine based, is it really possible ?

2. from BDEF2 , I want to create a tag in BDEF1 build result, to allow it to be searched. How can I do it ?

Any quick responses would be appreciated.

Hi,

1. I was wondering if your scenario would allow you to switch from using requestTeamBuild to the startTeamBuild Ant task. The startTeamBuild task allows you to set an attribute named 'resultUUIDProperty' with a value that will hold the buildResultUUID. You can then use that buildResultUUID for the issue in your second question.

Example startTeamBuild:

<startTeamBuild repositoryAddress="${repositoryAddress}"

		                userId="${userId}"

		                password="${password}"

		                buildDefinitionId="${myBuildDefinitionId}"

                                engineId="${myEngineId}"

		                resultUUIDProperty="buildResultUUID"

		                label="test build"

		                autoComplete="false"

		                verbose="true" />

2. With the buildResultUUID from the startTeamBuild task, you could update the label with the buildResultPublisher task.

Example buildResultPublisher:

<buildResultPublisher label="${newBuildLabel}"

                                         buildResultUUID="${buildResultUUID}"

                                         repositoryAddress="${repositoryAddress}"

                                         userId="${userId}"

                                         passwordFile="${passwordFile}"

                                         verbose="true"/>

Thanks Brent !

but the "buildResultUUID" property won't overwrite the earlier property set for same Ant file.

i.e. Ant build.xml ( for BReq1)

.....
...
..
BuildResultPublisher Publish result of Req1
...
..
requestTeamBuild Bdef2 /// Call the buildForge project
</target>
// ##### end of xml ####

So does startTeamBuild would still give me right result as below ?

Also,

Is there any way to search the builds ( based on labels) other than using Tags ? in other words , is it necessary to have tags to search builds ?
