Requesting a build

In addition to the scheduled builds that run automatically, there are cases when you need out of schedule builds. For this purpose, you can request a build at anytime.

Before you begin

Build names in the Build Definitions folder show up only after you define them in Rational Team Concert™ for Eclipse IDE. Requests for the build are granted only for build definitions that have at least one active build engine to support them.

About this task

To request a build:

Procedure

  1. In the Team Artifacts window, right-click the project area, and navigate to the Build Definitions folder.
  2. Right-click a build name, and click Request Build.
  3. Optional: To request a personal build that does not impact the build definition status and that runs on a repository workspace that you specify, click Build Options, select Personal Build; and then select a repository workspace.
    Note: Personal builds do not accept incoming changes, even if the option to accept incoming changes is enabled in the build definition.
  4. Optional: To change build properties, click Build Properties and use the Add, Remove, and Edit buttons to update the build property names and values.
    Note: You cannot change required build properties. You specify required build properties when you define a build.
