Can I create and use a new build definition of RTC in my DevOps Services project area ?
I'm looking for the way to integrate DevOps Services (IDS) and on-premise UrbanCode Deploy.
We're suppose to use IDS as coding and build tool.
And We want to deploy the build artifact which is packaged by IDS with on-premise UrbanCode Deploy.
Finally We found out the following way.
Create a new build engine and definition of RTC in my IDS project area with RTC Eclipse client.
( Configure a post-build deploy option for integration this build and UrbanCode Deploy) - Run a Jazz Build Engine in on-premise system and connect to IDS project. - Request build - Build is completed and then the build artifact is automatically stored in UrbanCode Deploy.
We can demonstrate the above way, but we concern whether this way is supported or not.
Is it allowed that creating a new build engine and definition of RTC in my IDS project area?
I'm curious how you connected Jazz Build Engine and UrbanCode. Have you setup Cloud Integration ?
Hi Strada,
It is perfectly valid to setup a build system (e.g., RTC or Jenkins) to be configured to pull from an IDS source code repository (Git or Jazz). At this point you can use the existing build engine integrations to configure integration with UrbanCode Deploy on-prem.
So your flow you mention shouldn't be an issue.

Note, using the built in Build Engine for the hosted Jazz SCM system in IDS likely will NOT work as you expect as the hosted build engine will NOT have network to the UCD system on-prem (behind a firewall). Experimenting with the Cloud Integration service may provide fruitful but suspect that you may run into additional issues.
We are exploring use cases to enable running IDS in the public cloud and connecting to on-prem services.

Hi, Dan and Amano-san. I haven't set up cloud integration to connect Jazz Build Engine to UCD system. I created a new build engine and build definition in my IDS project area with RTC Eclipse client, but I launched jbe.exe in on-premise system to connect IDS. In this way, there is no problem about network.
In my use case, we use IDS to develop SoE systems and use some Rational products to develop SoR systems in on-premise. SoE systems connect SoR systems with Cloud integration service. I want to use UCD to control deploy automation for both SoE and SoR.
