This topic describes best practices that help you effectively set
up a Jazz™ build.
Managing build users
The Ant build
toolkit and Jazz Build Engine require
a username and password for logging in to the Jazz repository. The following best practices will help you manage build users:
- Create a separate build user. The user password is specified in a plain
text file.
- Assign a Build System client access licence to the build user.
- Do not specify build user passwords in Ant build files or the Jazz Build Engine command
line. Use the Jazz Build Engine –createPasswordFile option to create an encrypted password file that you can use with Ant tasks
and the build engine.
- When you create a Jazz source control workspace for the build, set the build user as the workspace owner.
