how can we tell Jenkins to download and run JMeter tests on a remote system rather than from the Jenkins server itself?
My requirement is to create a job in Jenkins to download the latest code from a repo to another system where JMeter is installed and run the JMeter tests on that remote system rather than from Jenkins server itself? I can trigger the tests from Jenkins server itself but unable to connect to remote server and download/trigger the server.
You need to get familiarized with the concept of Jenkins Distributed Builds, it's enough to start Jenkins agent proces on the "remote system" and bind your job to execute on that agent instead of Jenkins master.
With regards to tracking changes in the remote repo check out Generic Webhook Trigger and How to Integrate Your GitHub Repository to Your Jenkins Project articles

Hi have requirement to Continous deployment using Jenkins and below are the steps to achieve.
1.Jenkins job download the artifact from Nexus and place it in a remote server
2.Unzip the artifact present in the remote server.
3.Perform Gradle task in remote server
You could try using Ansible maybe https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/copy_module.html
If it is Windows:
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/win_unzip_module.html
You have modules for every situation:
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/modules_by_category.html
You could do it with Jenkins, scripting the code, and probably storing the login in the Jenkins credentials.
I need to setup a build configuration in Jenkins so that whenever a build is triggered, I get my latest scripts from Gitlab and copy them to the target systems and run that script on the target.
I couldn't find any relevant info for integrating Gitlab to Jenkins. Are there any specific plugins that I could use?
I am using Jenkins version 2.158
Step by Step procedure for doing what you are looking for:
Add the location of the Script from GitLAB. (E.g.)
Run the script over the target machine.
While Building the job, you will get the code at the root (./) of the job's workspace. Copying and running the script over the target machine can be done by remote script executions. following are the cases we having in running script in the remote machine
Windows (jenkins) to windows - use psexec.exe
Windows (Jenkins) to linux - use plink.exe which is command line putty
Linux (Jenkins) to linux - use SCP and SSH
Linux to Windows - use ansible for windows.
E.g,.
$ scp script.sh remote_username#10.10.0.2:/remote/directory
$ ssh -t remote_username#10.10.0.2 /remote/directory/script.sh
All the best.
Integration between Git Repository Management (github, gitlab,bitbucket, etc) and Jenkins has the following steps :
Developer push some source code (java, php, nodejs, etc) to the Git Repository Management.
The Git Repository Management detects this event and notify to some public http endpoint in your Jenkins. Currently webhook is the most recommended way to implement this notification.
Jenkins receive the http post request(from bitbucket for example) and using some plugin or configurations , Jenkins try to determine or get the basic devops parameters like : branch name, commit author, commit message, technology, etc
Whit the extracted devops parameters, Jenkins launchs a preconfigured job. This job use the previously extracted values to build, compile, zip, install or to do whatever is necessary to startup your application.
If you want to implement this flow, check this post:
https://jrichardsz.github.io/devops/devops-with-git-and-jenkins-using-webhooks
Also, if you need. I will gladly to show you a basic integration using some git repository management and jenkins . Just contact me.
We got a requirement to implement CICD using Jenkins.
Here, Jenkins is running in windows machine and application server running in linux machine and build activity should happen in Linux system. So, We are connecting to linux machine using Jenkins's SSH plugin and executing jobs.
I have created list of freestyle jobs to checkout code from CVS, cleanup activity, Build , stop server, start server, Run Junit, run sonar. all these jobs are chained using 'build other projects' option in post build Action section.
Here, all jobs executes in sequential manner. But, sometimes I need to execute only few jobs like stop and start server.
So, please help me how we can randomly pick jobs which need to be run before triggering build.
Thanks,

I just started using Jenkins. Still not familiar with all its features.
I would like to run a Ranorex test which is on a remote computer. How can I do that from Jenkins?
To execute binaries on a specific host, you can use slaves.
Here is a guide to setup master and slave on windows:f
https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Step+by+step+guide+to+set+up+master+and+slave+machines+on+Windows
You will run the slave on the remote computer and connect it to the master.
To run the slave on your remote computer, you have to download the slave.jar and start it on the remote computer. This is described in the wiki article above.
You have to ensure, that your job is executed on the slave. This can be done by labels. You configure a label on the slave and configure the same label on the job too.
We have a Jenkins system to automate build from Github, now we are implementing a Saltstack system. So I need to integrate my Jenkins with Salt-master so that it passes all the new builds to the master which then sends it across the salt-clients(minions).
The saltstack setup is in AWS cloud and and the Jenkins machine is outside the cloud in a local setup.
You could enable the salt-api and using the following plugin: https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/saltstack-plugin then all of your jenkins builds can execute states / orchestrations etc. to any minions on a per job basis.
Another way of doing this is to have a minion running on the salt-master and install the jenkins slave on the same box. Then restrict the jenkins jobs to that jenkins slave and execute the commands as if you were at the command line. NOTE: this option requires a bit more configuration.
