I have a working Jenkins setup that can pull source code from RTC (Jazz server) and build etc. I can run this Jenkins job on demand or schedule to run at a random interval. However, now I am exploring as to how I can run this job only on detecting a change in the repository (e.g. new change set is delivered). I dont want to use the polling mechanism that Jenkins provide and I want RTC's post commit process to call my Jenkins job remotely.
Please can anyone guide me how I do it? Thank you.,

Windows Server 2016, Jenkins 2.107.1. We have GitHub repositories, Git repositories not in GitHub, and CVS repositories. This link...Can I restrict poll SCM job to be run only once in a day?, tells me that I can set the polling to happen only once a day (which is all that we want, in that the coders can check in, up to a certain time). It does not tell me how to exit out (not to continue with the rest of the build steps), if there are no changes (and, send out a message that there are no changes and thus will be no build tonight). We are not using pipeline. Thanks.
the poll scm plugin in by default will not run the job if there are no SCM changes, also you will get GIT polling logs to see the detailed information
I have development code repository at bitbucket and another test script code repository at bitbucket. Now I have setup a Jenkins job by linking test code repository. Is there any way to trigger jenkins job automatically on change in development repository ?
You can add the BitBucket Plugin to your Jenkins instance. It will allow you to configure a webhook in BitBucket that will then trigger any Jenkins job listening for that webhook. The plugin's page has a detailed breakdown, but the basics are;
In your repo in BitBucket, create a new Webhook using your Jenkins' url. I believe the url is generally http://[your jenkins url]/bitbucket-hook/
Make the trigger a repo push.
In your Jenkins job, check the box "Build when a change is pushed to BitBucket" under the Build Triggers section.
Now any time you commit to the repo you created the Webhook on, that Jenkins job will be run.
You can also limit what branches trigger commits by parameterizing your Jenkins build to ignore certain branches / keywords / etc if that's something you need for your specific project.
Builds by source changes
You can have Jenkins poll your Revision Control System for changes. You can specify how often Jenkins polls your revision control system using the same syntax as crontab on Unix/Linux. However, if your polling period is shorter than it takes to poll your revision control system, you may end up with multiple builds for each change. You should either adjust your polling period to be longer than the amount of time it takes to poll your revision control system, or use a post-commit trigger. You can examine the Polling Log for each build to see how long it took to poll your system.
Alternatively, instead of polling on a fixed interval, you can use a URL trigger (described above), but with /polling instead of /build at the end of the URL. This makes Jenkins poll the SCM for changes rather than building immediately. This prevents Jenkins from running a build with no relevant changes for commits affecting modules or branches that are unrelated to the job. When using /polling the job must be configured for polling, but the schedule can be empty.
I have a CI/CD setup with a Jenkins server to manage our internal CI/CD. We have Codeship performing our CI/CD for our AWS work.
I'm looking to setup jobs on our Jenkins server to manage when new builds are triggered on Codeship.
The aim being, we will have our Jira dashboard integrated with Jenkins in such a way that as an issue's status changes, specific jobs are executed.
So I'm trying to create a job that uses Codeship's API to trigger a new build, but it appears that you can only rerun an old build? How do you trigger a fresh build?
From the docs enter link description here you can only retrieve information and restart previous builds.
You want to run specific jobs, but those must be associated with some specific commit on your repository. You can identify the build for that specific commit and restart it.
Builds are always triggered from your git repository (github or bitbucket), and Codeship is highly dependent on that to keep the flow as simple as possible. You don't need to upload anything anywhere and then command Codeship to run a build on that. All you need is specify a repository and push something.
You could create an internal git server where your developers push to and with jenkins you can push changes from there to a repository connected to Codeship. That way you could control indirectly what gets tested and what does not.
I am creatig a new Jenkin Job. This job is using SVN version control and coding is done in Java and also i am creating jar using ANT.
Now I would like to create job that detects changes in svn repository.
i.e., When ever the developer changes the code jenkins job need to executed automatically.
Can any one please help me.
Thanks
Have you given Subversion Plugin a read?
Post-commit hook is of concern to you -
Jenkins can poll Subversion repositories for changes, and while this is reasonably efficient, this can only happen up to every once a minute, so you may still have to wait a full minute before Jenkins detects a change.
To reduce this delay, you can set up a post commit hook so the Subversion repository can notify Jenkins whenever a change is made to that repository.
Can Jenkins detect when a new build is available on a Bamboo server?
What I want is to create a Jenkins job that checks a Bamboo server for a new build. I want this job to run once per hour.
Then, other tests that I have on that Jenkins server will rely on that check passing in order for them to kick off.
If this is possible, what is the usual way of doing this? The Bamboo server is internal and does not need authentication to see status of builds or get build resources.
If there is no plugin for this, I do see a RSS feed at this URI: /rss/createAllBuildsRssFeed.action?feedType=rssAll&buildKey=RELEASE . What method would other Jenkins administrators use to read this feed?
I figured out the answer myself. I wrote a Gradle unit test to run in Jenkins that can read the RSS feed in Bamboo.
The real way to do it though, which didn't answer my question, is to add a post-build hook to either Subverison or Bamboo to send a HTTP get request to Jenkins, which notifies a job to run.
