How to pass version argument to build engine?

Hi

We would like to have a structure as we have in SVN
but it is not like in SVN.

RTC is not SVN. It uses a different (albeit more flexible paradigm) for changeset based SCM. Coming from SVN it is probably best for you to read the RTC-SVN comparison in the library.

We also like to give the version number to the build engine in order to get a release according to the given component version? s there a way to pass the component version to the build?

Read through the RTC FAQ for builds first.
A build engine is just a demon listening for a build request. A build request is derived from a build definition. In a build definition, you can reference a workspace / stream. This object holds the configuration (e.g. component baselines) determining what goes into the build. Load rules in the build definition can furthermore determine if only certain components / component parts will be loaded for a particular build.

Good success,
Arne

WRT the structure, how you map it into RTC depends on what you are using
that structure for. Minimally, you are likely to want a stream for each
of your releases, i.e. streams ProjectA-1.0, ProjectA-1.1, ProjectA-1.2.

WRT passing a "version number" as Arne responded, you would store that
information in the build definition. In particular, in the build
definition for the ProjectA-1.0 stream would tell the build engine what
configuration to build by selecting the ProjectA-1.0 stream.

Cheers,

-1.2

But we can't find a way to do it? We are always creating some baseline
and new versions but it is not like in SVN.
