Fetch content to analyze

When a chain runs, you can specify the stream/branch content to fetch to the work area and analyze.

By default, the entire contents are fetched, which may be a slow operation depending on the size of the stream/branch.

To fetch stream/branch content:

  1. On the top navigation bar, select a space from the spaces list.
  2. On the Products page, open a product or Git repository.

  3. On the sidebar, select Chains.

  4. Open a chain from the chain list and click Edit.

  5. In the Steps tab, click Fetch sources.

  6. Specify the following options:

    Option Description
    Clean workspace before fetching sources Select to clean the local work area before fetching content.
    Fetch content from repository

    By default, the entire stream/branch contents are analyzed (the option is selected, and the content box is empty).

    To analyze part of the stream/branch, in the content box, specify Ant patterns that match specific paths. Enter one Ant pattern per line.

    To fetch no content, clear this option.

  7. Click Save.
