Question about triggering a finalbuilder script

FinalBuilder Discussion
1

Hello,

We are thinking of implementing a scenario were a web interface starts up finalbuilder scripts. The catch is that the server where the web appliaction runs differs from the server where the finalbuild scripts run.

Is it possible to remotly start a FB script?
I am thinking of making a webservice in .NET code that can start FB scripts on request. Is there an API that can be used to load in a FB script, configure it and run it all in .NET code? Or should this be done by starting up Finalbuilder script throught the command line?

Regards, Tom

Tom,

we would encourage you to have a look at FinalBuilder Server as it’s designed as a web-based interface for remotely starting/stopping and scheduling builds. It’s free with a professional license of FinalBuilder 6.

to directly answer your question though, you should use FBCMD to start a build and if you want to start it on a remote machine you could use pstools.

oh, and we’re going to be updating the forum software soon as it adds support for Chrome and Safari, and probably will fix the Opera issue too.
