 IBM Rational Build Forge is an adaptive process execution framework that automates, orchestrates, manages, and tracks all the processes between each handoff within the assembly line of software development, creating an automated software factory. Rational Build Forge integrates into your current environment and supports major development languages, scripts, tools, and platforms; allowing you to continue to utilize your existing investments while adding valuable capabilities around process automation, acceleration, notification, and scheduling.
This sections proposes articles, examples and code about its customisation and usage.

This articles shows the creation of a project for the opensource software Freemind in BuildForge, with all associated steps.
We'll assume there you have access to the Management Console, and that an agent has already be installed somewhere (either on localhost or remote host).

Selectors help you dynamically select a host in a pool of machines, according to its properties. Properties can be the agent version, number of CPUs, number of jobs currently running, or any parameter that you can gather on the host.
If you want to run a job on a specific host, whatever are its conditions, then you'll need to create a specific selector.

This article describes the install of a BuildForge 7.1 agent on a CentOS 5 GNU/Linux host (wihch is exactly the same as a RHEL5, by the way). The agent is built from the sources provided with buildforge.
Buildforge management console server is on the same host, but it should make no difference.

This article describes the install of a BuildForge 7.1 agent on a GNU/Linux host, a Debian-based Mint Helena with 2.6.31 kernel. The agent is built from the sources provided with buildforge.
Usually the buildforge agent should run continuously on the host to answer requests from the server at any time. In our case, we specifically want to execute the agent manually on demand. For this we only need the binaries without installing the agent to the system (i.e. we won't execute the final install.sh step of install). We won't need the PAM module.
Buildforge management console server is in a VirtualBox virtual machine (with ssh tunnels to link client to server).
