FinalBuilder Features
600+ built in Action Types
FinalBuilder includes a broad range of action types that cover almost any task you might need to automate.
Scheduled Builds
FinalBuilder provides tight integration with the windows scheduling service, which allows builds to be scheduled to run daily, weekly or whatever you wish.
Advanced Flow control actions
FinalBuilder includes Try/Catch/Finally actions which allow localised structured error handling, and flow control actions such as If Then, Else, Switch/Case, While Loop.
Integration with Version Control Systems/Source Code Repositories
Almost all automated build processes require some type of interaction with a Version Control System or Source Code Repository. FinalBuilder directly supports the following:
If your version control system is not directly supported, we'd love to know about it - please contact us.
Email, Newsgroup, ICQ, FTP Support
Your build process can email the results of the build to you, so for example if the build fails, it can export the log, attach it to an email and send it to you. Or it can send you an ICQ message. You can announce successful builds on nntp news servers.
Built in Active Scripting Support
Each FinalBuilder action exposes a number of script events, where you have access to all the properties of the action using VBScript or JScript. In addition, the Run Script action allows you to perform specific tasks which might not be covered by the built in action types..
Detailed Logging
Output from all actions in the build process is directed to the build log. The log maintains the same tree structure as the action lists, which makes it easy to find your way in the log file. Logs can be exported in HTML, XML or text formats.
Variables
Using variables is the key to making your build process dynamic. Use variables to pass information from one action to another, and also to enable actions to use user specific or machine specific values.
