Abstract
With the Rational Build Forge API (Application Programming Interface), you can interact with Rational Build Forge through the Java and Perl programming languages. Rational Build Forge provides client libraries containing a set of functions that you can use to control the management console as if you were interacting with the web interface. However, the real power of the API is its ability to automate tasks such as updating environment groups and running builds.
