6. case FAQ 1 1 I have read in the doucmentation that the UCM module does not support labeling To anyone using Lunt build with UCM how are you creating new baselines labels when the build is successful From Gordon McNair Our solution has been to have targets in our build that apply the baseline This was set up before we started using luntbuild So the continuous build mechanism doesn t do it directly So our build process in a nutshell is 1 Set the baseline on the source promotion level Rejected 2 Do build operations 3 Set the baseline promotion level to Built on successful build Database FAQ Ly 1 2 When and how are the project definitions and other Luntbuild data persisted to disk in the out of the box Luntbuild distribution Luntbuild by default uses HSQL database to store project definitions The data for the database is stored in lt luntbuild install dir gt db I recommend to backup the lt luntbuild install dir gt daily most companies have some kind of autamated backup strategies and if you need to restore the database you can just 1 Stop luntbuild or the whole servlet container application server 2 Restore lt luntbuild install dir gt db directory 3 Start luntbuild or the whole servlet container application server The default database write delay time in Luntbuild 1 2 is 60 seconds You can modify default write inter val in the db luntbuild script file in your Luntbuild installation
7. ed or the current build has failed and the last build is successful What is the initial username and password after Luntbuild installation The initial site admin username password is luntbuild luntbuild It is stored at lt tomcat gt webapps luntbuild WEB INF applicationContext xml The user manual explains this in more detail I m surprised to find that only recent VCS committers will get build result notifications Is there any way to send build notification email to some designated person besides the developers By default Luntbuild only sends notifications to recent VCS committers However you can configure the notification users property in projects basic tab to add users to receive build result notifications We are using Ant builder to run our build on Windows platform and we set the build success condition to be result 0 But Luntbuild still signals the build success while actually the Ant builder fails What gives Luntbuild s Ant builder calls path to ant bat provided by ant distribution to perform build on Windows platform The ant bat will internally call java exe to do its job When there is a build error java exe will 2 LuntBuild FAQ fail However the error code will not get propagated to the caller of ant bat Luntbuild in this case This is an known behavior of Windows batch file To overcome that you can set build success condition as result 0 and logContainsLine BUILD SUCCESSFUL 1 1
8. ending builds display builds tab and click on schedule The schedule page will display showing detailed information about that particular schedule including pending build queue for that schedule Can I include date and time in the build version Yes you can for example if you want the version be foo yyMMDD_HHMM you can configure next build version property of a project as follows foo shortYear numericMonth dayOfMonth _ hour minute For luntbuild 1 1 1 or foo S shortYear numericMonth dayOfMonth _S hour minute For latest luntbuild code in Where shortYear numericMonth dayOfMonth hour minute are all OGNL expressions OGNL expressions can be used in build version string please refer to Luntbuild user manual We are using Luntbuild for Continuous Integration and we set the continuous integration period to be 60 seconds Sometimes for some reason my version control system goes down and Luntbuild will send build failure notification every 60 seconds which is a lot of emails Is there any way to let Luntbuild send fail notification mail only once upon such failures And send success notification email again when the ver sion control system comes up You should consider using notify when status changed notification strategy to avoid multiple build fail ure emails in such a case This notification strategy will only send out mail when the current build is suc cessful and the last build has fail
