About Monitoring Builds

This section describes how to use the Build Monitoring features of Dimensions CM. These features allow you to examine details such as:

- what time the build started

- what time the build completed

- whether or not there was an error

- what Dimensions project and build configuration were used

- the dependencies of the build job

- Bill of Materials information

- who initiated the build

In addition to these features, Dimensions CM also allows you to rebuild previous build jobs, and to cancel running build jobs. These features are discussed after the basic build monitoring features.

In general, build monitoring falls into three categories:

- Reviewing build status immediately after launch

- Monitoring the status of a running build

- Reviewing the history of previous builds
