Hello, all

I create a batch make file, which works correctly from regular windows shell. It launches ORCA script commands, which get latest version from SC and then build the executable.

The ORCA script does not work, when launching from TFS agent with the same domain user. All I see in the log is this:

Source Management Initialization...

Can you tell me what must be done, so the build can be done automatically from TFS?

Thank you

Arcady

OK, let's close this case.

I worked around it by launching ps exec within the TFS agent. It loaded user profile and the builds started running.

Thank you, everyone

Hi Arcady;

   Run the ORCASCript commands in the DOS Command window on your build PC ...

"Each line of an OrcaScript batch file either succeeds or fails. If a command fails, subsequent commands are not processed and the OrcaScript session is ended. An error message is printed to the command window."

HTH
Regards ... Chris

Unfortunately, this is only true, when running from CMD on the same machine. When I try doing it from PS EXEC, there is no output in ORCA script

it looks like it is failing on connecting to the SCC?  can you see if the login the scc worked?

How/where is the login info stored? registry? ini file?  do you have different security rights when running under the tfs agent ?  different path?

Unfortunately, all I have the SSC log is that line in the first post.

No error, nothing.

are you calling that working batch file from TFS? If so, do a dir command to your log file to make sure you are in the directory/drive that you need to be.

it also might help if you post your orca script so ppl can see what you are doing.

This is the ORCA script:

//-----------------------------------------------------------------

start session

set debug true

scc get connect properties "optima_dev.pbw"

scc set connect property logfile "Optima_dev_sc.log"

scc set connect property userid "user name"

scc set connect property password "pwd"

scc set connect property deletetempfiles true

scc connect

scc set target "milonit.pbt" "outofdate"

scc refresh target full

build executable ".\milonit.exe" ".\Images\Optima.ico" "" "yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyynnnn"

end session

Hi Arcady,

Your ORCAScript must have access to PowerBuilder's ORCA interface (app = ORCASCR170.exe if running PB 2017) and the rest of PowerBuilder's development environment since the ORCA exe is simply a command-line access into the development tool.

Your ORCA script will therefore fail if you run it from a machine where PB IDE is not installed. ORCA script also fails if your PATH doesn't include the PB installed folders.

HTH /Michael

Is the SET DEBUG command the 1st line?

In addition, I can see that running the script with PS EXEC from a different machine provides the same result is from TFS GUI.

Please, tell me what is the different between running orca script locally and remotely.

Thank you

Arcady
