Hi
Not sure it’s the right place for this question but…
I’m running build with FinalBuilder on several build machines in parallel
On the main machine I have actions that should be running only after build on all other machine has finished.
What is the best way to handle it ?
I guess each machine should create a file or update a value in a file on the network and the main machine should check for that,
But not sure what is the best way to do that.
Any ideas ?
Hi EF,
In FinalBuilder there are a number of “Wait For” actions. A simple version of this would be to wait for a file on a network share. Another approach would be to wait for a process not to be running (Wait For Remote Computer). All the wait for actions have their limitations, especially when referring to network connectivity.
I suggest starting with waiting for a file to appear on a shared network drive. This way if the builds fail, or the network goes down for any reason you can add the file manually as needed. The file will then need to be remove as a pre-build step so that the shared state (file presence) is correct.
