startBuildActivity task not recognized

John Czukkermann (36●5●5) | asked Feb 11 '12, 5:53 p.m.
Hi, I'm having one heck of a time trying to get the startBuildActivity task to work. No matter what I try, I get the following information in my log with the failed build:

The shell script I use to start my Jazz Build Engine is:

#!/bin/sh

#
# any environment variables for the Java JVM.
# Variables must be exported to be seen by the launcher.
export JAVA_HOME=/java/J6.0_64
export JZOS_HOME=/usr/lpp/java/J6.0_64/lib/ext

export LIBPATH=$LIBPATH:
#
echo "****** ****** ***** >>>>>"
echo "PATH is :"
echo "${PATH}"
echo "****** ****** ***** <<<<<CLASSPATH> /tmp/czuk/jazzbe.log 2>&1 &


I'd appreciate if someone could take a look for anything obviously wrong.

Here is the snippet of my build.xml with the startBuildActivity task:

<target>
<echo>
<startBuildActivity>


Thanks in advance,
John Czukkermann

The Jazz Build Engine (JBE) will add the Jazz build toolkit JARs to
Ant's classpath (if you check the correct box in your build definition).
But the JBE will not automatically define the build toolkit's tasks.
You have to do that yourself. That can be done with

<import>

(where ${jazzBuildToolkit} is the path to the build toolkit). Or you
can declare each task individually, such as:

<taskdef>

Thank you David, that did the trick.

I had to guess a little as to exactly what to do because it seems the code blocks are getting truncated in the forums. I noticed that when I re-read my original post.

Thanks again,
John

 Thanks. This worked for me (XML escaped):

  
<taskdef name="startBuildActivity" classname="com.ibm.team.build.ant.task.StartBuildActivityTask" />
