Team Build's build number and $(Rev:.r)

TFS Build 2010 uses an internal build number. It's similar to $(Rev:.r). $(Rev:.r) increases in each day while internal build number are increased in other way.

The questions are:

  1. What is the official name of the internal build number?
  2. How to access internal build number in macro format in order to use it in "Build Number Format" within the build definition?
  3. The internal number is only shown when a build fails and is only accessible via BuildDetail variable in team build process templates. It is not shown and could not be searched in Build Explorer. How can I get it shown and search-able in Build Explorer?
  4. How this internal build number increases? With each build among all definitions? In a total project collection?

Use $(Rev:r) to ensure that every completed build has a unique name. When a build starts, if nothing else in the build number has changed, the Rev integer value is incremented by one.

Try $(BuildID) from MSDN's "Work with Build Numbers".
