problem with build number
Hi,
i am using starteam as vcs and msbuild as build-engine. i will sync the revision number from starteam as build number in teamcity.
therefore i set the build number format in my teamcity configuration to {build.number} but it dont correct, i have become the following output: #2008/03/31 16:34:38 +0200.
now i have write a message-task in my msbuild to see the values of the following properties from teamcity:
]]>
it gives me the following output:
build_vcs_number: | build_number_format: {build.vcs.number.1} | build_number: 2008/03/31 16:34:38 +0200
what is the connection between this properties and how can i get and set revision number from starteam as build number in teamcity ?
thx
yesso

What do you mean by "revision number from starteam"? StarTeam has a notion of revision number related to each item (folder, file, etc.). Is this what you need?
build_number_fromat - is the pattern used to compose a build number.
In this particular case the build number is the change set number ({build.vcs.number.1}). For StarTeam TeamCity uses a timestamp representation of change set numbers. That's why you get "2008/03/31 16:34:38 +0200" as the build number.
build.vcs.number isn't exposed as system property so got nothing then you tried to display it.
