You can perform Jazz™ Team
Build administration
tasks, such as starting and stopping build engines, organizing and
identifying builds for search purposes, managing which builds to delete,
or associating a build with a specific release.
Starting and stopping the Jazz Build Engine
The Jazz Build Engine processes
build requests. You start the build engine from a command line and
stop the build engine from the build engine console.
Tagging a build
You can tag builds to organize them or identify them for
search purposes. You can also select a tag from an existing list of
tags. A tag is a single word with no spaces. A build result can have
multiple tags associated with it.
Canceling a build request
You can only cancel a pending build before the build starts.
The canceled build request is removed from the build queue. You cannot
cancel a running build.
Abandoning a build
The Jazz repository normally
tracks the progress of a running build to its completion. However,
occasionally the repository stops tracking a build. For example, a
power outage or build machine failure ends the build processes or
leaves them in a corrupted state. If this occurs, the build state
remains in progress and the build does not complete.
Automatically deleting build results
You can set up Jazz to automatically delete old
build results, so that they do not clutter your repository. You can
define the number of successful or failed build results that you want
to keep. Older build results are deleted first.
Associating a build with a release
You can associate a completed build with a release. In
a work item, the Found In field lists releases,
so when you associate a build with a release, the work item Found
In field lists the build label as a selection.
Creating an encrypted password file
You can create an encrypted password file that you can
use with the Jazz Team
Build toolkit
Ant tasks or to start the Jazz Build Engine.
