Has anyone tried using Mvn Deploy to deploy to Rational Team Concert

Question

I am experimenting the use of Rational Team concert to store our binaries and/or build artifacts. I am running a mvn deploy command to deploy my build artifacts to RTC. Although it recognizes the connection its throwing me a Http status code: 500 error.

I have also checked RTC logs for more information but i don't see any specific exception. All the examples or documents out on internet says we have to configure RTC build engine to run the builds.

I just want to know if anyone have tried publishing to RTC from command line using Mvn deploy ( without using RTC cleint ) ? is this do-able?

If you have successfully published artifacts to RTC using maven, can you please elaborate on how you did it?

No, RTC is not an artifact repository (like a maven repo is).
It is a ticket system coupled with a source repo and a build engine front-end.

It can store sources and uses those to trigger a job which would produce a delivery (like a binary).
But that deliverable would have to be stored elsewhere. Not in RTC.

• RTC has its own database to store everything (ticket, sources, build definition and build records)
• A true artifact repo (like maven) is a simple collection of shared directories in which deliverable are published.

You can easily delete an artifact from an artifact repo: cd + rm.
You cannot easily delete the same deliverable from a source repo (which, by nature, is there to retain the history you record in it)
