Personal Build

A personal build is a build initiated by the Remote Run procedure. Only users with Role and Permission can initiate a personal build.

The build uses the current VCS repository sources plus the changed files identified during remote run initiation. The results of the Personal Build can be seen in the "My Changes" view of the corresponding IDE plugin and on the My Changes page of the TeamCity web UI. Finished personal builds are listed in the builds history, but only for the users who initiated them.

The personal build feature requires tight integration with the version control system. The following combinations are currently supported:

IntelliJ IDEA Plugin — Subversion, Perforce, CVS, Visual SourceSafe, ClearCase, StarTeam
Eclipse Plugin — Subversion, Perforce
Visual Studio Plugin — Subversion, Team Foundation Server
In order for Personal Build functionality to work properly using CVS, VSS and TFS version control systems, the VCS should be configured in exactly the same way on the TeamCity server and on the client computer (running the IDE). This means that the same VCS server names (disk name in the case of VSS) should be used.
