Hello,

I have 2 problem with the above integration:

1. I'm running the fb project from the TFS, why is my&nbsp;FB parameters ignured?

&nbsp;&nbsp; I'm building a solution with FB, the solution path is declared as project parameter.

&nbsp; when i'm running the Fb project directly its fine, but when the TFS run it, its doesnt work due to the param.

&nbsp;Any idea why?

2.&nbsp;I want to run my FB triggered by every check-in, and send mail to the person that did the act.

&nbsp;&nbsp; How do I get this information from my FB project?

&nbsp;

Thanks,

&nbsp;

Hi Keren,   
  
\> I want to run my FB triggered by every check-in, and send mail to the person that did the act.   
  
You'll need to use trigger files API in FinalBuilder to work out who checked the files into team foundation, you may need to create a lookup table for the username-\>email since the information will not be available from the API alone.

Trigger Files API:&nbsp;[https://www.finalbuilder.com/article...ticleId=31](https://www.finalbuilder.com/articles.aspx?mid=370&ctl=ArticleView&articleId=31)  
  
\> I'm running the fb project from the TFS, why is my FB parameters ignured?   
  
Which FinalBuilder parameters? The variables specified in the build definition in TFS?   
  
Regards,   
Paul.

About my second question:

I meant FB variables:

[https://www.finalbuilder.com/Product...fault.aspx](https://www.finalbuilder.com/Products/FinalBuilder/Features/AboutFinalBuilderVariables/tabid/85/Default.aspx)

But after additional reading I understood that they aren't like global variable?

Because the FB was run by the TFS it will not work?

Thanks for your help.

Hi Keren,   
  
 You can use FinalBuilder “Project” variables in a project that is run by TFS, they aren’t dependent on the environment that they are run in. If you still have no luck getting it to work, send in an example, or screen shots which show the exact problem you’re having to support [at] [finalbuilder.com](http://finalbuilder.com).
