Unable to install plastic scm change tracker service - plasticscm

Anyone have any solutions to this error when trying to install the plastic scm cloud version on windows?

This error message usually suggests that a 3rd party is blocking the installation (i.e. anti-virus program). Try to disable any anti-virus program during the installation to confirm.
The Plastic SCM Change Tracker service is not very relevant for the Plastic cloud workflow. You should be able to open the Plastic GUI and connect to your server to see your repositories.

Team Foundation Server plugin is not available in Jenkins

The Team Foundation Server plugin is not available in Jenkins. The Jenkins official page shows the message:
Distribution of this plugin has been suspended due to unresolved security vulnerabilities
Is there any alternative to this plugin using which I can integrate Team Foundation Server with Jenkins?
MS have effectively abandoned support for TFVC and for the plugin.
You can still grab the plugin from the GitHub TFS plugin releases page and upload manually. ({JENKINS_URL}/pluginManager/advanced ). You may have to reconcile any dependencies manually.
MS recommended alternative is the tf command line from a shell step (brutal), which they also silently abandoned support for TFS SDK/CLI.
ps: aside from the vulnerability ( SECURITY-1506 / CVE-2020-2249 ), it does not meet the OSI open source license requirements - INFRA-2751 to be made available via the plugins site.
2021-03-30: It appears the OSI licensing issue has been resolved. This Jenkins Community post suggests a fix to SECURITY-1506 / CVE-2020-2249 is available in a fork but additional security issues ( SECURITY-2283 / CVE-2021-21636, CVE-2021-21637 (permission check), CVE-2021-21638 (CSRF) ) are outstanding, need to be resolved and released, or someone steps up to adopt the plugin.
pss: M$ also announced (23 February, 2021) retirement for Azure plugins for Jenkins, effective February 29, 2024.

Jira Service Desk Installation

I want to install Jira Service Desk in a Server.
After reading Atlassian Documentation I have some doubts concerning Jira Service Desk installation.
To install Jira Service Desk (Server), do I have to install Jira Software before doing it or both of them are different products who can be installed without having to install the other?
As I mentioned here, Technically JIRA ServiceDesk is a plugin on top of JIRA Software or Core. You can download ServiceDesk as a release as well but it will install JIRA and enable ServiceDesk by default. As a best practice I always install JIRA and then enable ServiceDesk on top of it.

jenkins manually install plugins

My IT department has blocked internet access to all but a few sites and they don't want to keep adding new sites to the proxy. Consequently, during the installation of Jenkins on linux, none of the plugins were added. Is there a way to download all the plugins and install them manually? There are too many to download and install them individually.
The best solution would be if I could re-install Jenkins without needing to connect to the internet at all.

Cloudbees Jenkins job cannot install packages via Yum

I have Jenkins running on a Cloudbees Fedora 17 node. I need my job to be able to install certain packages to build my project correctly for deployment but my yum install commands fail because the jenkins user does not have the correct permissions.
I cannot SSH into the box or use the jenkins CLI to assign root permissions to use sudo and Cloudbees doesn't appear to enable the Script Console. Neither can I run the yum command as with su because it expects the administrator password which I cannot enter remotely.
What can I do?
I am not aware that you can install additional software on the CloudBees Jenkins master node. But you can request from CloudBees support that additional software packages will be installed on the automatically created CloudBees build nodes.
As alternative you can also create your own build nodes (called OPE in CloudBees). This is helpful for a lot of cases such as specific software requirements (such as closed source software which requires a license) or just to be much more flexible when it comes to require packages installed on it.
Since you didn't mention what kind of packages are missing: There are a lot of frameworks that provide much more ruby, java, python, go etc. versions as any Linux distribution. CloudBees provides documentation for a lot of them on http://dev-at-cloud-docs.cloudbees.com/docs/dev-at-cloud-docs-1.1/Build+Tools.html
This is the problem with hosted solutions like what Cloudbees offers. If you need access to operating system level permissions on the host server, then you have little choice but to host Jenkins yourself, or to obtain a different licensing structure with CloudBees in order to have a VPS, or some other isolated but still SaaS hosted solution.

Jenkins not able to use SVN credentials or download new plugins/new versions

Can anyone suggest how to fix the two issues?
- Can't upgrade Jenkins and SVN plugin
- Can't connect to svn
I am setting up Jenkins on a Windows 64 bit machine. It's configured to run as a windows service.
We are running this on Windows 7 64 bit OS
Jenkins 1.482
I am able to do an SVN update/checkout from my user account on the machine.
When I attempt to set up a job on jenkins I get the following when trying to add svn credentials
FAILED: org.tmatesoft.svn.core.SVNErrorMessage: svn: OPTIONS /svn/client/trunk failed
More details are:
FAILED: org.tmatesoft.svn.core.SVNErrorMessage: svn: OPTIONS /svn/client/trunk failed
org.tmatesoft.svn.core.SVNException: svn: OPTIONS /svn/client/trunk failed
at org.tmatesoft.svn.core.internal.io.dav.http.HTTPConnection.request(HTTPConnection.java:298)

at org.tmatesoft.svn.core.internal.io.dav.http.HTTPConnection.request(HTTPConnection.java:271)
at ...
I stopped the service and ran Jenkins from command line and tried the same thing - with the same result.
I am able to connect to the svn server with a tortoise client and via firefox with the same credentials.
In researching the issue I saw a few posts about similar problems and the only one that seems to claim to fix it is rolling back to Jenkins svn plugin version.
I then tried to install the latest jenkins and Plugin for svn. The downloads failed. Aha, I thought - obviously a firewall issue. So I disable the firewall.
Still no good. I can't automatically download or get the new Jenkins or SVN plugin.
Try starting jenkins with this option:
-Dsvnkit.http.sslProtocols="SSLv3"
Or, if Jenkins is starting svn plugin in a separate JVM, try adding the line to wherever the svn plugin run configuration is.
It's a known problem with svnkit, which is used by Jenkins' svn plugin:
http://issues.tmatesoft.com/issue/SVNKIT-176
Also, this answer can be helpful with regards to upgrading your svn plugin.
To change your Windows service commandline:
open a command line window cmd.exe
sc qc "JenkinsSlave" (if that's what your service name is)
select and copy the BINARY_PATH_NAME value
change it, adding -Dsvnkit.http.sslProtocols=""SSLv3"" after the jar path - mind the double quote
sc config "JenkinsSlave" binPath= <paste the changed value copied earlier>
Replace JenkinsSlave with your service name.
Windows 7 x64 has some automatic firewall settings. You may need to open a firewall port to allow the connection.
You should be able to verify or eliminate this as a cause by trying to run your svn client outside Jenkins.
bit late topic, but did you try the following solution?
http://www.daangemist.nl/2014/03/03/jenkins-reports-sslv3-error-on-svn-update
that one worked out for me, in my case I wanted to use -Dsvnkit.http.sslProtocols="TLSv1"
What about running Jenkins service with your account?
