Clearcase, UCM and polling

[Chris Williams]

I'm trying to get Jenkins (version 1.616) to poll for changes every hour using the ClearCase plugin (the UCM option) for Jenkins. When Jenkins is comparing baselines, it is currently comparing the foundation baseline to the foundation baseline, instead of comparing the last baseline used to the most recent (or even recommended) baseline. Because of this, Jenkins never sees changes from ClearCase and therefore never initiates builds on its own. However, when I manually start a build, everything goes smoothly and all the changes are present in the newly-built project.

 

Does anyone know how to configure Jenkins and/or the Jenkins ClearCase plugin (the UCM option) so that it compares the recommended baseline instead of the foundation baseline?  We have a hierarchy of streams and I we are polling one of the parent streams (but not the integration stream)

 

I am using jenkins 1.617 with the clearcase, (versions 1.6).

 

Thanks!

Hi Chris

I'f you're using ClearCase UCM you would benefit from using the specific ClearCase UCM plugin for Jenkins: https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/ClearCase+UCM+Plugin ass opposed to using the Base ClearCase plugin with UCM features glued onto it.

We developed the CCUCM plugin and are continuously maintaining it.

Give it a spin ans see if it will solve your issue, feel free to approach us if you need help with it, you can reach us at sup...@praqma.com
