Part 1: Heterogeneous development using RTC Eclipse, RTC MS Visual Studio IDE, and Web Browser

Do you have heterogeneous teams using Rational Team Concert for development? Do you have developers who use the natively integrated RTC Clients (Eclipse and Microsoft Visual Studio IDE ) and contributors who use the Web Client, in your teams? If you do, you might be interested in watching these videos they feature heterogeneous teams working together, collaborating using RTC Eclipse Client, RTC Client for Microsoft Visual Studio and RTC Web Client.

You can download Rational Team Concert free for up to 10 developers at http://jazz.net.

It is a simple enough demo but it shows how using Team Concert, heterogeneous teams can follow the same process, work on the same work items, share build artifact and so on. It emphasizes on the Jazz vision that teams can collaborate wherever they are using whatever development they are comfortable with.


The video follows the popular build break story line but is unique in that it features a heterogeneous team working together on fixing a broken build. We have Cindy Sharp, a C# developer, working on the client piece of an Echo Client Server Project, and using RTC for Microsoft Visual Studio IDE. On the server side, we have Jerry Java, working off RTC Eclipse. And finally we have the project lead/build manager who exclusively uses the Web Client.

The video starts with the project lead logging a work item against a build via the Web Client. He assigns the defect to Cindy in the Client team. Cindy creates a repository workspace from the faulty build, reproduces the defect and investigates. She finds that its not a client side defect and assigns it to Jerry on the server side. The team communicates via discussions attached to the work item that was logged against the build.

Jerry investigates, finds the problem, fixes it and requests Cindy to verify that it works. She downloads the new server attached to the new build, verifies the defect and adds her verification comments to the work item.


Enjoy!

Please guide, that how did you created Build Script for the same? Did you use some batch file? if yes, how to create one and with what contents? If no, then what and how did you do?

I am stuck while creating the Build Script.. (as of now, trying command line-JBE). Thanks..
