RTC post-build deliver option with Jenkins build

Question

Is it possible to execute a Post-build Deliver when using Jenkins server with RTC source?

This is my process;

1. When a job is started Jenkins connects to RTC Source using the Rational Team Concert plugin and fetches the required code. (Connects to RTC using a build definition which contains details of the workspace to use. This build definition also contains details of the post-build steps)
2. Jenkins tests/builds/deploys application
3. Job completes with a status of success.

When I open the results view for the build definition associated with this Jenkins job i notice the absence of any post-build delivery information in the Contribution Summary.

Using the setup I've mentioned should Post-build Delivery be possible?

Answer 1

@niloc,

The ability to initiate a post-deliver option currently only exists in JBE (Jazz Build Engine). There currently is an enhancement open to improve this for the Team Concert Plugin for Hudson/Jenkins ... Teamconcert plugin to trigger Post-Build Events configured in RTC Build Definition.

However, Heather describes a work around in a comment on 05/Dec/13.

The post-build delivery step can only be set in the build definition with in RTC.

Jenkins won't know anything about it: it doesn't execute that step. RTC does.
