The Build System
Toolkit includes
a build engine and Ant build toolkit that help you optimize the Jazz™ Team
Build environment.
If you already have a build engine for your builds, you are not required
to use the Jazz Build Engine. The build toolkit is designed for Ant
builds, but can be used by any build system that can invoke Ant.
About this task
To set up a
Jazz Team
Build,
you generally complete the following steps:
Procedure
- Create or obtain a build script.
- Create a build definition that identifies a command that
invokes the build script.
- Create a build engine object to represent the machine that
runs the defined build.
- Start the build engine process on the build machine. The
build engine responds to build requests, runs builds, and publishes
results.
Results
After you set up a build, you can request a build, examine
the results, and explore the build user interface as a developer and
a consumer of what the
Jazz Team
Build produces.
