Communicating with your toolchains
Communicate with your toolchain so you can automatically see when a pipeline stage passes or fails. You can communicate with your toolchain by sending your pipeline status to IBM.
Before you begin
Before you notify your toolchain, you must evaluate a gate policy on an application build. For more information, see Evaluating gates by using Jenkins.
Using notifyOTC
Send the pipeline status to your toolchain by using the notifyOTC command. This task requires two parameters, and it can also take an extra optional one.
| Parameter | Definition |
|---|---|
stageName |
The current pipeline stage's name. |
status |
The current pipeline stage's status. Using SUCCESS, FAILURE, or ABORTED automatically highlights the text in Slack. |
The following examples illustrate how to use the notifyOTC step in both declarative and scripted pipeline definitions:
notifyOTC stageName: "Deploy", status: "SUCCESS"
