Concepts

Parameter

Values of parameters are specified only during build task execution. The parameters are classified into custom and predefined parameters.

Service endpoint

A service endpoint is an extension to the platform and supports connection to third-party services. For example, CodeArts Build uses service endpoints to connect to Git repositories to obtain project code. You can create, edit, and delete such connections.

Schedule

You can define rules to trigger build tasks automatically. These triggers make compilation and build more flexible and easier.

Build template

A template contains the build environment, sample build commands, and parameters for a specific programming language or compilation framework. You can start a build by simply modifying a template for faster configuration.

Action

Also called a "step". It refers to an automated stage in a compilation process. For example, it can take two steps, Build with Maven and Upload to Release Repos, to generate a JAR package automatically in software development.

Domain ID

Unique ID generated when a tenant is created.
