Each build computer contains an installation of the Rational Team Concert™ Build
System Toolkit.
The Build System Toolkit consists of the following major components:
- Jazz™ Build Engine
- The Jazz Build Engine is
a command-line tool that polls for and processes build requests from Rational Team Concert.
When the Jazz Build Engine is
started, it must identify a corresponding build engine in Rational Team Concert. The Jazz Build Engine can then accept
any build request whose build definition is supported by the build
engine. The Jazz Build Engine
runs the Ant script and targets that are specified in the build definition.
Each build is represented in Rational Team Concert by a
build result.
- Build toolkit
- The build toolkit is a collection of Ant tasks. Ant scripts can
use these tasks to send information (such as build progress, results,
links, artifacts) to Rational
Team Concert to include in the build result.
- Build agent
- The build agent is a lightweight process that handles agent-based
builds that support z/OS® or IBM® i build scenarios. For the Worklight® plug-in, use the Jazz Build Engine instead.
Note: The Jazz Build Engine is a component
of the Build System Toolkit; it refers to the process that runs on
a build computer and runs Ant scripts.
