Scenario: Notification upon completed commit

Goal: To trigger an email when a commit is complete, highlighting any new defects introduced to the project (Project Y) in the latest snapshot.

Basic configuration: In this scenario, a developer creates a view that filters on:

Only in projects = Project Y
Streams & Snapshots = Newly detected

Then, to trigger the notification after completing the commit step, the developer runs the cov-manage-im command in notification mode:

cov-manage-im --mode notification --execute --view view name

To accomplish this in one step, the developer can create a script which includes each step in the build process and ends with cov-manage-im. For example:

cov-build build options /
cov-analyze[-java] analyze options /
cov-commit-defects commit options /
cov-manage-im --mode notification --execute --view view name

For more information on using cov-manage-im, see the Coverity Command Reference.

Note: Alternatively, in the Schedule tab of the Notification dialog, selecting Send email when a new snapshot is created will trigger the notification after the commit occurs.
