Which license does a build engine need?

Timo Wolf (61●16●5) | asked Oct 13 '08, 9:35 a.m.

Hi All,

I am setting up a build engine with a dedicated build user. The user has only the license "Build System" assigned and not Developer.

This leads to the exception


..

        at java.lang.Thread.run&#40;Thread.java&#58;810&#41;

        Name&#58; Control The Build Lifecycle

        Id&#58; com.ibm.team.build.server.buildLifecycle

        Severity&#58; ERROR

                Summary&#58; Permission Denied

                Description&#58; You don't have permission to perform the following actions&#58;

  Retrieve the Next Build Request &#40;getNextRequest&#41;

                Severity&#58; ERROR

It works fine using a different user with both licenses.

So, does a build system user also need the Developer license?

Thanks a lot,

Timo

Teh build engine should only need the Build System CAL not a Developer
CAL. The exception looks more like a process permission problem rather
than a license problem. Is there a difference in your process roles
between the developer and build users?

Thanks, you are right.

I fixed it and now it works great. The build engine user had no role in the related team area.

Thanks,

Timo
