How do you trigger a pipeline job?

  1. Use a simple name if the job is in the same folder as this upstream Pipeline job;
  2. You can instead use relative paths like ../sister-folder/downstream.
  3. Or you can use absolute paths like /top-level-folder/nested-folder/downstream.

What is upstream and downstream job?

An upstream job is a configured project that triggers a project as part of its execution. A downstream job is a configured project that is triggered as part of a execution of pipeline.

How do you trigger another job in Jenkins pipeline?

Select a job that triggers a remote one and then go to Job Configuration > Build section > Add Build Step > Trigger builds on remote/local projects option. This configuration allows you to trigger another exciting job on a different CM (remote). The downstream job name part will autocomplete.

How do you trigger Jenkins?

Triggering Jenkins builds by URL

  1. Step 1: Setting up a new user. Trigger a build via URL means that the Jenkins endpoint is open to anyone who can hit the server.
  2. Step 2: Enable the URL job trigger.
  3. Step 3: Enable permission for “auto”
  4. Step 4: Create the URL.

What is downstream project?

In software development, downstream refers to a direction away from the original authors or maintainers of software that is distributed as source code, and is a qualification of a patch. For example, a patch sent downstream is offered to the developers or maintainers of a forked software project.

What are build parameters in Jenkins?

A build parameter allows us to pass data into our Jenkins jobs. Using build parameters, we can pass any data we want: git branch name, secret credentials, hostnames and ports, and so on. Any Jenkins job or pipeline can be parameterized.

How to trigger multi-branch pipeline on Upstream change?

If you’re using a declarative multi-branch pipeline, you can use: triggers { upstream(upstreamProjects: “some_project/some_branch”, threshold: hudson.model.Result.SUCCESS) } If you wish for branch matching to occur across dependencies you can use:

How to trigger a downstream job in Jenkins?

This blog post will lead you through the steps how to trigger a downstream Freestyle job or Pipeline workflow from an upstream Freestyle project. We will also show how to pass a parameter from Freestyle project to the downstream workflow or job.

When do downstream branches need to be triggered?

How ever the information what downstream branches need to be triggered is not known to the upstream project. Each downstream project fetches the artifacts from some upstream branches and the ideal solution would be if the downstream build would be triggered in case the upstream build that is the source for the artifact finishes it’s build.

What’s the problem with trigger pipeline in Jenkins?

The main problem is getting the builds to trigger each other, because basically a build in a specific upstream branch, needs to trigger a downstream branch. How ever the information what downstream branches need to be triggered is not known to the upstream project.
