[Dart] Reports date

[Miller, James V (GE, Research)]

Felix, 

Dart always defaults to showing the "most recent" or "current" dashboard.  This is defined by the primary track, usually a Nightly track. The view is based on time of day on the server machine and the Start Time of the primary track.  We have set up the Slicer dashboard so that the Nightly clock starts at 11:00 pm EDT on our server. (We usually set the start times in our daylight savings time so that we do not have to adjust the start time or our cron jobs as we go on and off of daylight savings time).  

If you are not seeing the dashboard you want, your start time in your Project.xml file may not coincide with the start time set in your cron jobs, etc.  You want to make sure these match up.

The build process is essentially a special "test" of your software.  It tests whether your software compiles without errors or warnings.

Jim

Hi,

I have a couple of questions here:

1)
I am reposting this question since I didn't get the desired answer. I want to be able to get the "last day" report, just like this page:

http://dart.na-mic.org/Slicer3/Dashboard/

The dashboard displays the previous day report by default.


2)
I want to know how come the "build" process is processed like a "test" by Dart.

Regards,
Félix C. Morency
