Download The binary after Request Build on RTC


pascal alalinarde (61) | asked Aug 04 '11, 6:13 a.m.
Hi,

We are a development team working on RTC.

Rational Team Concert cant store binary files. That's why we set up another program to store binary file.
After doing a request Build in RTC we want to dowload the binary file that is on the server and transfer it to another server. The best way is to get the Binary in HTTP.

Thanks

RTC can store binary files. For example, many documentation source
files are non-text (Word files, PDF files, etc).
What made you think it could not?

It is true that there currently is no way to delete a version from the
RTC repository, so you normally don't want to store the large binaries
resulting from your continuous builds, but rather just the "important"
binaries, such as the ones you've released. But note that version
deletion is a high priority work item for the next RTC feature release,
at which point, you might end up storing more of your large binaries in
the RTC repository.

Cheers,
Geoff

Hi gmclemm.

Sorry, i was not precise enought.

I will take an example. We are developping a firmware for a future product with the RTC Software. When i launch "Request Build" in RTC to test my program, i would like to get the binary in order to integrate it in our product and test them.

The best way is that after each "Request Build", the binary that is generated is automatically downloaded to another server.

That'why i wanted to know the location of the binary in the build server.

Thanks

It is the responsibility of the build to either post the results back to
the RTC server. You have a choice of posting the file content or a URL
for where the build has stored the file content. See the on-line help
topic "Publishing build results and contributions" to see how to do this
with Ant tasks.

Geoff
