There are several ways to do this...

1. The Nightly DashboardStart makes the appropriate directory on the server and does the Update
automatically. So one hack is to not do a DashboardStart and make the appropriate "Nightly" directory
by hand.  The directory will be
DartServerBuildTree/Testing/HTML/TestingResults/Dashboard/YYYYMMMM-hhmm-Nightly where the hhmm is the
NightlyStartTime for the project.

You'll probably get a warning that Update.xml is not there and maybe a java error, but the dashboard
should roll up properly whenever you do a NightlyDashboardEnd. You can stop these warnings/errors by
placing a dummy Update.xml file in the Dashboard  nightly directory. The dashboard will appear but
you will not have the changes link for the toplevel dashboard (though each architecture will have
update information).

2. Hack DashboardManager.tcl. Around line 239, you can put in a "break" after the mkdir command in
the DashboardStart control block to skip the update and doxygen parts of DashboardStart

Hi all,

I'm running a nightly Update/Build/Test/Submit on my vtk tree and all is
well. Entries are apearing on the kitware dashboards as expected and hats
off to all concerned, it's quite tidy.

After doing the Nightly cycle, I also want to create a dashboard of my own
here on my machine. So I've created a LocalConfiguration.tcl instead of
DartConfiguration.tcl with the server dropsite and triggersites changed to
my ftp server and http server here on the lan at home. All is well, after
doing the submit, running an extra
DashboardManager.tcl LocalConfiguration.tcl
the same vtk dashboard results get sent off to my machine and all is going
well.

I also need to do a DashboardManager.tcl Nightly DashboardStart and End to
open and close the dashboard and create the html. This does work, but it
insists on doing a cvs checkout which frankly I don't want. I've tried
fudging the cvs values so that it won't but because it keeps using my local
vtk (cmake) build tree (too damn clever by half) it extracts the cvs
parameters and goes about its business.

Two questions :
One : can I stop it doing a cvs update (without having a second build
tree) - The Nightly tests are being run on the same machine as the server,
so it's submitting to itself and hence it seems I need two cvs trees and two
updates! sigh (This is bad because I only have a modem connection). (The
first tree needs all the correct kitware trigger sites etc, the second would
want spoofed values for the local ftp and http - instead of my
localconfiguration.tcl file)

Two : Is there any way of turning on all the  at echo commands so that I can
see what DashboardManager is doing and work out where to look for things.

What I'm really tring to say is...
All the XML files appear fine. The trigger copies them fine. How do I turn
the XML into html without the DashboardStart and DashboardEnd going off into
their own world. Can I just run Xalan from the command line in a batch file?

thanks and apologies if none of the above makes much sense as I'm really jus
t playing with stuff.

JB
