The Rational Team Concert™ Build system
defines resources that are used to describe and manage builds.
The
Rational
Team Concert Build system
in
IBM® Rational® Team Concert defines
the following types of logical resources that are used to describe
and manage builds:
- Build definition
- A build definition describes:
- The workspace to process.
- The Ant scripts and targets to run against the workspace.
- The schedule for the build.
- The properties to simplify the configuration of the build.
- The build engines that can handle build requests for the build
definition.
- Build engine
- A build engine represents a Build System Toolkit Jazz™ Build Engine running
on a designated build computer. A Jazz Build Engine running
on a build computer correlates itself to a build engine in Rational Team Concert by
specifying the unique identifier of the build engine.
- Build request
- A build request represents a scheduled or explicitly issued request
to run a build according to a specified build definition. Build definitions
are submitted to a build queue. A Jazz Build Engine receives
and processes the build request if its corresponding build engine
in Rational Team Concert is
listed as a supporting build engine for the build definition.
- Build result
- A build result represents the output of a build.
