[Anthill-pro] Newbie Queries]

[Steve Boone]

Naureen,
You are correct, when Anthill is launched it connects to VSS, gets the
project you are seeking, and attempts to build it.

You can track the progress of any build from the Dashboard of Anthill
pro.  From the Dashboard you will see the "Recent Build Life Activity"
Box.  This box contains useful information such as the number of the
build and which project it belongs too.  Find the build that you are
looking for, and click the build life number.  The number is a link that
will provide you with access to more information to help us determine
what made the build fail.  On this page we can view which workflow you
chose to deploy, and the jobs that are associated with the workflow. 
This will help us narrow our search and find what job(s) failed.  The
status box will indicated if a job is running, complete, or if it was a
success or a failure.  The operations box will provide you with a link
labeled "details", and contains more helpful information to help you
diagnose your problem.

If you have any more questions on how to diagnose your build, please
ask!  If you include the information from the details link we will be
able to serve you more efficiently with a more detailed response.

Thank you,
Steve Boone
