I am using:
RTC 4.0
Jazz Build Engine

My customer has a nightly build which has two parts. They can be executed on different build engines (and different build machines). One part is depended on the successful execution of the first one.

Hi Liora, you might be able to use the requestTeamBuild ANT task. See http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/clmhelp/v4r0/topic/com.ibm.team.build.doc/topics/r_requestBuild.html

There is not a way to configure the build definitions so that the RTC server will automatically start a second build once the first build is complete.  Instead, you will have to code that yourself in your build script.

You will want to use the requestTeamBuild Ant task.  http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/clmhelp/v4r0/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.team.build.doc%2Ftopics%2Fr_requestBuild.html
The Ant script that is driving the first build should use the requestTeamBuild task to start the second build.  The requestTeamBuild task should happen near the end of the first build, and only if the first build is successful.
