TFS Build DOS command

Question

We have a TFS (2012) project that we use as a PL/SQL source code repository. This project does not contain any .Net code or solution just PL/SQL code.

We have a command line build process & deploy process to move the PL/SQL code to the database. Currently we are running the command line daily by hand. I would really like TFS to kick off the command line daily.

I have created a custom TFS Build Process Timeplate that just contains an Invoke Process function however when I go to create a new TFS Build Definition it requires me to fill in Items to Build. I do not have any items to build I just want to kick off the Build Process template.

Is there any way to create a striped down TFS Build that will just run the Invoke Process and not worry about the Items to Build?

Answer 1

You have made the good choice, but your custom activity Invoke Process must be integrated to your main build, items correspond to your solution c#. So when you create your build, you compile your items, and in the end you execute your check for pl sql.
