How to create Buil Defintion from Command line - scm.exe


Arun Sathiamurthy (5675) | asked Aug 26 '11, 5:39 a.m.
Is it possible to duplicate an existing build definition from command line - scm.exe ?

I have close to 50 odd build defintions to replicate. I know i can do it from RTC client. but it would be faster if I have a commandline option.

Any help \ pointers appreciated.

Thanks
Arun

The scm.exe is for source control commands and does not do anything with build. It has limited interaction with other components (ie. you can associate a work item to a change set but not create a work item).

You may want to look at the SDK and check if build supplies API to duplicate build definitions.

Hi Tom,
Can you point me to some existing sources\examples to interact with Build tool kit. Googled for it - could not find anything much relevant.

Thanks
Arun
