I have a multibranch pipeline which is triggered after every commit, I want to disable every commit run and just set a trigger for a simple nightly test build
You can set a CRON Job for this which will ensure that the Job will get triggered only once at the set time. Let's assume that you need to run the build at 11 PM daily.
then following are the steps:
Under Build Triggers section
there is a option for Build Periodically enable it
0 23 * * *
Now this job will run every day at 11 PM or 23 hrs in the night.

settings for scheduled job in jenkins
my job is not running automatically as the settings in the screenshot shows that it should run at that time. please help on this
You should choose "Build Periodically" option and give "0 0 * * *" to run the job on midnight everyday.

I have scheduled my job in jenkins as "0 0-12/3 * * 1-3". This will run monday to wednesday from 12am to 12pm for every 3 hours.
My question is, during the above interval if any build execution is PASS, then it should skip remaining scheduled interval for that week!!!
How to do this? can anyone Help me?
You could try working the other way: Schedule your job to run only once per week. Then add either the Naginator or Periodic Reincarnation plugin to your Jenkins server to restart a failed build.
If that should be more liberal (as in: don't always start the job on the first possible day of the week, but rather check if a week has elapsed since the last run), you could try the following:
Install https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/Run+Condition+Plugin to check for further conditions
Let your job write a file at the end of a successful run
Check through that plugin whether
the file does not exist: run the job
the file is at least one week old: run the job
else: skip the job
I have the following scenario in JENKINS:
Job1 - Will run periodically every 10 minutes, but should stop the periodic construction when it gives "SUCCESS". Attention to this, he must build until he succeeds every 10 minutes, when he succeeds, he must activate the next job.
Job2 - Must be triggered by Job1 only once;
How to solve? Are there any plugins for this questioning?
Jenkins version 2.121.2
I have a multi-branch pipeline set up. I am using a declarative Jenkinsfile.
I have a set of tests which take a long time to run. I want these to run over night for any branches which have changes.
I have tried a few things but my current failing attempt is:
Under the job > configure, I have enabled 'Suppress automatic SCM triggering'
Have 'Scan Multibranch Pipeline Triggers' > 'Periodically if not otherwise run' set to 1 minute (just for testing, I will increase this when it is working)
In my Jenkinsfile (example for a 4am run), I have also tried with pollSCM():
triggers {
cron('0 4 * * *')
}
In the 'Scan multibranch pipeline log' I see the following but no job runs at 4am (time in the trigger() in my Jenkinsfile):
Changes detected: my-feature-branch (1234567890abcdefgh → abcdefgh123456789)
Did not schedule build for branch: my-feature-branch
What am I doing wrong please?
Edit:
So I've tried this set up instead:
Set the cron to every 15 minutes
triggers {
cron('5,20,35,50 * * * *')
}
Removed the setting under configure in the UI 'Suppress automatic SCM triggering'
But it just starts running the minute polling has happened (16 minutes past the hour in this test).
What ever I do nothing seems to pay attention to my cron settings?
If I got to 'View configuration' under the branch job in the UI it shows the UI settings from my Jenkinsfile ok.
Edit (again!):
So with the last edit, it did actually run immediately and then again at the cron time.
Now enabled again in the UI the setting 'Suppress automatic SCM triggering'.
And I have it working! The main issue I realised (a) changes are not applied I do not think until the run after the first run with a change in the Jenkinsfile? (b) Also I installed the next execution plugin so I can see what it is planning on better.
The issue here was that trigger declared in multibranchPipelineJob is for scanning multibranch. To run job periodically declare trigger in pipeline like this:
pipeline {
triggers {
cron('45 6 * * 1-5')
}
agent {

I have configured 20 "Multi-configuration project" jobs in jenkins server(like, jobA, jobB, jobC, jobD, jobE, ....etc ), every job have seperate,these are the parent jobs. Now I created a single job(jobABC) with "Multi-configuration project". In "jobABC" I want to configure all 20 jobs to build one by one with condation(suppose jobA build SUCCESS then jobB build trigge, jobB build SUCCESS then jobC trigger and so on, otherwise if any job build failed then show the build is failed and don't trigger next job).
Actually, I have configured 20 individual jobs "Multi-configuration project" based job.
jobA
jobB
jobC
jobD
jobE
..... etc
Now, I want to configure one single job suppose ABCjob ("Multi-configuration project" based job).Inside ABCjob, I want to configure all 20 jobs and trigger automatically one after another but first one build success then trigger another job. if any stage failed then show fail and don't trigger another job.
