Passing parameters to down stream job without triggering the downstream job [message #948941] Thu, 18 October 2012 10:34 Go to next message

I'm using the Parameterized Trigger Plugin because I want to get some values from the upstream job into my downstream job, but I do not want it automatically executed. Is there a way for me to pass parameters to the downstream job without triggering?

The only way I have thought of thus far is to have the upstream job archive a build.properties files and have the downstream job consume it.

thoughts?

No, because if you have a job that saves the build parameter for build 1, and then 5 minutes later you execute that same job and creates a new build 2, if the two parameters are different values, which one would you use? Are you just waiting for an upstream project to finish before executing because that's possible where a build parameter is saved until all upstream jobs are done before executing with a parameter.

I'm not sure that I care which job invoked the downstream job. The downstream job is a deployment job, so as long as I have the parameters passed which tells me which job passed them. Thanks for your speedy reply!

Best method would probably be what you suggest and use the EnvFile plugin to obtain the build.property file and then you can use it as a variable.
