stand-alone scm.exe


Bernie Bonn (21910) | asked Oct 12 '11, 12:00 p.m.
Hi,

I was wondering if there was a way to install scm.exe on it's own, or do I have to install Jazz server, or Eclipse client. I want to try a plugin for Jenkins CI server that polls Jazz SCM for changes then triggers builds, and it needs to know where scm.exe is on the path of the build machine. Just wondering if there is a way to abstract this or do I need the whole install?

Thanks for any info!

As of today there isn't a way to install the 'scm tools' separately. It is bundled along with the RTC Eclipse client and you need to either install the client or download the zip.

You can extract out the scmtools folder into a separate location but you have to edit couple of files such as lscm/lscm.bat, scm.sh, scm.ini to point to the correct java path. You can find instructions here... http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=3488&uid=swg21407634

There is a workitem open to provide the scm tools as a separate install... https://jazz.net/jazz/resource/itemName/com.ibm.team.workitem.WorkItem/174453

Thanks for that. I have loaded the eclipse client, but cannot find scm.exe or any of the other files referenced. Am I missing something. I followed the instructions here:

Thanks again.

Don't load Eclipse client, you need 'pure' rtc client zip file!

Hi Bernie,

Where did you find this plugin you're mentioning? I've just completed a plugin for Jenkins that does exactly this, and before starting its development, I didn't find anything like that.

Thanks,
Deluan.
