Jenkins auto build using CM Synergy

Question

I am trying to set up an auto build using Jenkins. All I have to do is whenever there is a code change in the database, the automated build should happen and the build version should have the latest number. I saw all the websites using Jenkins with Git or other version control systems. I just want to have a clear picture about Jenkins and its complete details. Is there any possibility that I can use Jenkins with IBM Rational Synergy?

It would be great if i could get any available links or tutorials.

You can learn about Jenkins here. For build to automatically happen, you just have to enable Poll SCM option in Build Triggers section. You can check this link which shows how to setup your job using Poll SCM option. You should also check this link for setting up Quiet period which is a good to enable when using Polling feature.

If you are using IBM Rational CM/Synergy, there is a plugin for it. Install it and get going! :)
