RTC Jazz Build - Stale workspace

Question

I work in a multi-person team with many developers delivering changes to the same stream. Each developer works on their own repository which flows into a main stream. I then have multiple build definitions for each of the environments we need to deploy to. Each build definition also has its own repository which flows to main

The problem we've noticed is that sometimes the build repository/workspace is not picking up the latest changes from each developer.

Can someone suggest a reason why this may be happening? I've checked that everyone is using the correct flow target, the team is distributed (China, Europe, US) but i'm guessing latency is hardly a concern.

Update: I was using the same build work-space across multiple build definitions which is not a recommendation. I changed this and have not had any issues since.

Answer 1

Latency shouldn't matter because the deliver operation is atomic, and your build monitors a stream.

So you need to check if the build definition is similar to one described in "Continuous Integration with Rational Team Concert and Microsoft Visual Studio" (based on RTC4.x though), with, for instance, a periodic schedule:
