StarTeam BCO

FinalBuilder Discussion
1

Builders that have StarTeam Enterprise Advantage use the BCO command to check files out of StarTeam on build systems.  BCO allows build systems to use a Local Cache Agent [saves me about an hour in my daily build] which the STCMD CO does not.  I was wondering [if] when StarTeam BCO might be added as a supported FB Action?  Here's an example of my FB Execute Program Action "kludge" that uses BCO:

Program File:

C:\Program Files\Borland\StarTeam SDK 10.4\bin\stjava.exe

Execute Parameters:

 -f "C:\Program Files\Borland\StarTeam Cross-Platform Client 2008 R2\bco.stjava" -- -p "%StLogin%:pass@%StServer%:49201/%StProject%/%StView%" -is -pwdfile "%USERPROFILE%\st.pass" -fp %BuildDISK%:\ -t -ts -useca 127.0.0.1:5201 -o "*" -exclude "/FolderIDontWant" -exclude "/AnotherFolderIDontWant"  -cfgl "%StBuildLabel%"

Hi Dar

We don’t have any immediate plans for any new starteam actions. Looking at what you have posted, it would be pretty trivial for you to wrap that up in a finalbuilder action using Action Studio. One of the biggest problems we have with starteam is the lack of response from Borland (not codegear) to any enquiries we have about starteam. We don’t even have a proper license for it anymore… so we have to use the eval version.
