Post Chain Index Writer module

Available:

Bamboo 2.7 and later

Purpose of this Module Type

The Post Chain Index Writer modules allows you to write your custom data for a build into the index, which allows for future retrieval in your custom Report Module. The Post Chain Index Writer modules will be invoked in three places in Bamboo: when a build completes and it indexes, operations which requires a re-index of a particular chain (result), and when you run the re-index all action under the Administration tab. The Post Chain Index Writer should always be written in conjunction with a Index Reader Module which will be able to retrieve the data in the index.

Configuration

The root element for the Post Chain Index Writer module is postChainIndexWriter. It allows the following attributes and child elements for configuration:

Attributes

Name

Description

class

The class which implements this plugin module. The class you need to provide depends on the module type. For example, Confluence theme, layout and colour-scheme modules can use classes already provided in Confluence. So you can write a theme-plugin without any Java code. But for macro and listener modules you need to write your own implementing class and include it in your plugin. See the plugin framework guide to creating plugin module instances.
