Build basis: Rational Build Forge 7.1.2

An adaptor is much more than just complex execution flow and decision making in IBM Rational Build Forge. It can also support the following features:

  • Emailing multiline variables to users
  • Dynamic notification groups
  • Custom BOM additions
  • Project execution control

You can use some or all of these features in a single adaptor. The Adaptors paper shows how varied and powerful adaptors can be and how adaptors can help accomplish a certain goal within Rational Build Forge. The document does not discuss the details of the adaptor XML; see the online help for those details. Also, the document does not cover every adaptor template currently available with Rational Build Forge. For information about the adaptors, see the descriptions in the adaptors. After you read the document, you should be able to read an adaptor and understand how it works and potential modification points.
