how to promote snapshots from build workspace to stream


Karthik Krishnan (8899123165) | asked Oct 20 '11, 9:24 a.m.
Hello,

When ever the build runs, it creates a snapshot on the build workspace

i would like to know if the following is possible

1. Is it possible to have the name of the snapshots configured?
2. How can the snapshot be promoted (automatically if possible) form build workspace to Stream


We are using RTC 3.0.1 + Windows

Thanks
Karthik Krishnan

Hi,

1. There is an open enhancement request to specify snapshot name format.
2. This is an article about the Post-Build Deliver feature that might work for you.

Thanks Brent

I tried Post-Build Deliver.

I am using ANT script. In that I have a task "completeTeamBuild" and "completeBuildActivity"
If have these options the Post-Build option throws error. When I comment this the Post build works.

The build workspace I have takes the latest from Stream and starts the build. I was under the impression that it could be possible to promote / move the snapshot from workspace to the stream.

But the Post build option does not work as it updates same component and create baselines which is unnecessary in my case

I then figured out that changing the owner the build workspace to the stream moves the snapshot to stream

Can this be automated in ANT? Setting owner to Stream
