Configuring a new Custom Capability

Custom capabilities can be used to control which build plans will be built by a particular agent. For example, if the builds for a particular plan should only run in a Windows environment, you could create a custom capability 'operating.system=WindowsXP' for the appropriate agent(s), and specify it as a requirement for this plan. (See Specifying a Plan's Capability Requirements.)


You can configure a new custom capability for:

• a specific local agent ---  see Configuring an Agent-specific Custom Capability
• all local agents ---  see Configuring a Shared Custom Capability
• a specific remote agent ---  see Configuring an Agent-specific Custom Capability
• all remote agents ---  see Configuring a Shared Custom Capability

Note that the value of an agent-specific capability overrides the value of a shared capability of the same name (if one exists).
