How to trigger builds via SQL in 5.3?

[dwynn_6489]

In BuildMaster 4.9 I could use the procedure dbo.Builds_CreateBuild to trigger a build via SQL code. Running this procedure would do everything necessary to build and promote - in effect, it was the same thing as clicking "New build > Create Build" via the web interface. We used this to trigger large batches of builds programmatically.

In 5.3, that same procedure is not comprehensive and does not trigger the build. Is there a new procedure in 5.3 that has the same comprehensive effect as clicking "Create Package" via the web interface? If not, are there plans to build one, maybe something like dbo.Packages_CreatePackage?

Thanks.

Hi David,

This is actually a planned change for v5.5:

• Package Deployment API - create and deploy packages with a simplified API endpoint

However, it's something we can certainly add in a maintenance release sooner... it just won't have the documentation like our other (v5-style) endpoints...

• Configuration Management API Endpoints
• Infrastructure Management API Endpoints
• Job Orchestration API Endpoints
• Variables Management API

Thanks for the quick response. Yes, sooner would be great. I will start using the new feature as soon as you can release it, with or without documentation.
