teamAccept ANT task and changeSetFile attribute

If you specify the buildResultUUID attribute, then you will automatically
get a "Changes" link in the build result contribution summary UI. This is
because specifying buildResultUUID enables a snapshot to be stored in the
build result.

You only need to specify the changeSetFile if you plan to use the
workItemPublisher task. The workItemPublisher task uses this file to locate
and link the work items that are included in the build. These work items
will show up as the "work items" link in the build result UI.

This is a standalone build which is incorporated into my overall build (which uses other things besides Jazz). I just run the ANT tasks.

I would like the team accept task to also be able to provide a text file with the list of change sets.

On a related note, I would like the Change Explorer view to let you copy the selected contents to the clipboard. I plan to use the view to show the comparison between two snapshots since the teamAccept does not provide the text file of change sets.

Are you only using the SCM related Jazz ant tasks and none of the others to
publish your results to a build result?

If you include the buildResultUUID attribute in teamAcceptTask as Ryan
indicated then you automatically get the ability to compare builds and see
the differences in the snapshots between them.

Having the team accept task produce a text file with the change set
descriptions is a reasonable enhancement request. Please file one.

The Change Explorer view will enable you to copy the text, but there are
some usability issues. Here's what you have to do.

1. Make sure you have the "Show change sets" toggle button set in the view
toolbar.
2. Click the "Expand to change sets" button
3. At this point, you should have a tree with component nodes as the roots,
and change sets as the children.
4. Select the first change set in the tree
5. Shift select the last change set in the tree.
6. At this point, all components and change sets are selected
7. Control-click each component to unselect them.
8. At this point, only the change sets are selected
9. Now, right click a change set and the Copy Text action should be enabled

I have opened Enhancement 59822 for the teamAccept ANT task to provide a text file of the change set descriptions.
