Develop on windows and build on unix

Hi Yehiel,

I don't understand your statement about the sandbox. Do you want to load it somewhere manually?

The way I think it is intended to be used is as follows. The build engine, if you configure the jazz scm portion of the build definition accordingly, loads the stream or repository workspace it is using to a folder on the machine it is running on. This is the approach that you should use too.

You would configure your build script to use folders relative to its own location. You can also have the build script under version control, which means the script is in a project and automatically loaded to a relative location to the folder used as build workspace sandbox location.

So if the build engine runs on AIX it would load to AIX, if another one runs on some other OS, it would load there.

The load process actually also allows private builds this way and it makes sure the latest changes delivered to the stream are accepted if you choose the option in the build definition.

Thanks for your answer.

1. Does it say that if I have 3 developers, we need 3 workspaces on the build machine (for the load process) ? or you don't need workspace on the build machine at all ?

Thanks again,

You would likely have a workspace for each build definition, owned by the build's user account.

You need to distinguish a "repository workspace" (which is an object
that lives in the RTC server) from a "sandbox" (which is a tree of files
in the file system on a client machine).

For development, you always want to have each developer have their own
personal workspace, and they load a sandbox from that personal workspace
onto their client host.

For building, you can have a single workspace for a given build
definition, but each concurrent build for that build definition would
need its own sandbox, so that the appropriate configuration of the
repository workspace is being loaded, and build results don't collide.

Cheers,
Geoff

How do you create a workspace on unix box for the build account ?  are there any unix command or unix eclipse client ? how the workspace will keep on updating wit the latest changes can it be automated or needs to be performed manually
