Any user can change the information about a project
grouping. Build managers can remove a task from a project grouping
to build successfully.
Build managers typically use this
feature to ascertain why a build failed. A build manager looks at
one or more tasks recently added to the project grouping to find where
the error occurred. After finding the bug, the build manager informs
the responsible developer or team lead so that the bug can be fixed.
While the bug is being fixed, the build manager might remove the task
from the project grouping to perform a successful build.
Procedure
- Right-click over the project grouping whose
properties you want to modify, and select Properties.
To find a project grouping, see Finding an object.
- In the Properties dialog
box, modify the fields in the Properties tab,
as required. The following fields are modifiable:
- The Process Rule field is
not modifiable. Build managers can act on it by right-clicking over
the process rule name and making a selection.
- The Auto Update check box
is selected by default. When selected, it updates the baseline and
tasks during a project update. When cleared, it keeps the baseline
and tasks from changing during an update operation.
- In the Projects tab,
you can add projects to the project grouping by clicking the plus
sign.
The Select Project dialog
box appears. Use it to add a project to the project grouping.
- Modify the fields in the Baseline
Projects tab, as needed.
The following describes the modifiable
fields.
- The Select Baseline button
is active when the process rule used by the project grouping is set
to allow you to select the baseline. To select a baseline, click Select
Baseline.
The Select Baseline dialog box
appears. By default, baselines display in the results field based
on the release for the project grouping, for example, toolkit/2.0.
- The Baseline table shows
the baseline for this project grouping, if one exists. If the process
rule used by the project grouping is set to Latest static
or build management projects, then this table is empty.
- The Baseline projects you have a copy
of table contains the projects found by the process rule
as baseline projects that you have a copy of in this project grouping.
If the process rule uses baselines, then these projects are from the
baseline. If the process rule uses Latest static or build
management projects, then these projects are
found by the latest projects rule.
- The Baseline projects you don't have
a copy of table contains projects found by the process
rule that you do not have a copy of in this project grouping.
- Modify the fields in the Tasks tab,
as needed. The following fields are modifiable:
