KBEC-00146 - Continuous Integration property storage and management

Summary

During Continuous Integration sentry runs, ElectricSentry stores triggers and when they were last modified in the ElectricSentry schedule in the Electric Cloud project.

Sentry plugin

The Sentry plugin examines the schedules in each project for the schedule property "Enabled for ElectricSentry".

ElectricSentry enabled schedules have a propertySheet called ec_customEditorData. This property sheet has values stored by the Source Control Monitor (SCM) specific plugin.

Each SCM plugin has plugin specific properties in ec_customEditorData. Look over the property values for the ones of use in your use case.
