Creating build definitions for IBM UrbanCode Deploy

You can configure a build definition to create a new component version and request that IBM® UrbanCode Deploy run an application process.

1. In the Eclipse client, in the Team Artifacts view, expand the project folder.
2. Right-click Builds; then click New Build Definition.
3. In the New Build Definition wizard, on the New Build Definition page, accept the default settings and click Next.
4. On the General Information page, in the Available build templates pane, select an applicable template and click Next.
5. Optional: If you use source control, on the Pre-build page, select Jazz Source Control and click Next.
6. On the Post-Build page, to configure a deployment, select Post-build Deploy and click Next.
7. On the Additional Configuration page, select any applicable options and click Finish.
8. In the Build Definition editor, on the Overview page, in the Supporting Build Engines area, click Add.
9. In the Add Build Engines window, select the appropriate build engine and click OK.
10. Click the Post-build Deploy tab.
11. On the Post-build Deploy page, configure the build definition to create a new component version and publish files to it:
    1. In the Trigger Policy section, select the appropriate options for triggering a post-build deploy.
    2. In the UrbanCode Deploy Server Information section, enter the connection information.
       Note: For a more secure solution, create and refer to a password file on the build engine computer. The password file can be secured with the file system's permissions.
    3. To verify the connection details, click Test connection.
    4. In the Publish Artifacts section, type the component version information.
       Note: In addition to publishing files to the component version, you can also publish property values and links.
    5. Optional: If you selected the Jazz Source Control option when you created the build definition, in the Properties and Links fields, you can reference Rational Team Concert source control properties such as team.scm.SnapshotUUID and team.scm.workspaceUUID.
    6. Optional: In the Process section, request to run an application process that can deploy the files that are published to the newly created component version.
    Note: All errors are logged to the build log. To capture debug information, set the team.udeploy.debug property to true. To customize the label of the link to the component version in the external links section of the build result, define the team.udeploy.versionLinkLabel property with the label value. The value can use the variables ${team.udeploy.component} and ${team.udeploy.version}. To change the UrbanCode Deploy connection timeout (in seconds), set the team.udeploy.timeout property.
12. Click Save.
