Build promotion using jenkins upon servicenow change request approval
I need to promote my build to production environment only when my change request# "CHXXXX" has approved? How to achieve this using Jenkins/Servicenow integration?
Please guide me. Thanks in advance.
Typically this is handled by using a "run script" activity in ServiceNow's change workflow.
In your case, you'd have to do the following:
Set up your Jenkins Web service in ServiceNow (REST Web Service Tutorial)
Capture somewhere the Jenkins Pipeline to run (recommendation: on the Configuration Item)
Add the "run script" activity to your Change Management approval workflow in ServiceNow to call the Jenkins API after approval has been granted. You could even introduce a timer to wait until the "planned start" time.
Make sure you capture the Jenkins result / output in your Change ticket for reference.

How to enable the "Trigger builds remotely (e.g., from scripts)" section in a Jenkins file for a pipeline job. Want to achieve the same task of freestyle project in pipeline.
Jenkins Pipeline job also provides the same option for remote build trigger. There is no need for additional plugins or workarounds.
Jenkins jobs can also be triggered by user level authentication tokens. To enable user level authentication token please follow below steps.
Log in to Jenkins.
Click you name (Upper-right corner).
Click Configure (Left-side menu).
Use "Add new Token" button to generate a new one then name it.
Note: You must copy the token when you generate it, You cannot view the token afterwards.
Revoke old tokens when no longer needed.
After some unluckily research, I would like to ask here if there is any mean to do a simpe "end of build" acknowledgement apart from emailing on jenkins.
Some tiers application needs to know if a jenkins build run is finished before this one allow another action to be operated.
The restriction is that I do not have any rights to install some http plugin which for instance could allow to notify a webservice (which would have been a fit solution..... ).
Thank you in advance for your help.
we have jenkins CICD automated pipelines working great. we also trigger it via REST API with build Parameters.
Now, we have JIRA dashboard having custom workflow created where developers moves or changes queue of issues/stories to "ReadyForDeployment" once development is completed.
Now here, once developer moves queue to "ReadyForDeployment" :-
JIRA should prompt for 3 fields (ENV, PACKAGE_NAME_APP and
PACKAGE_NAME_DB) those will be placed in jenkins URL like
blahblahblah/buildWithParameters?ENV=${ENV}& PACKAGE_NAME_APP=${PACKAGE_NAME_APP}&PACKAGE_NAME_DB=${PACKAGE_NAME_DB}
Basically upon queue change,webhook should be triggered whcih
will take input/parameters from JIRA itself.
Please let me know your thoughts on this.
It depends on your requirement whether its correct or not. But it can be possible to trigger jenkins from Jira useing Jira-weebhook and passing the parameters.

I have been looking for a while now for a way to trigger a Jenkins job from the status or a ticket/story in Jira changing status. To give a more detailed example when my team moves a ticket to the 'ready for test' column we would like to be able to trigger a sanity test pack in Jenkins, the ideal situation would then be that we are able to post the results (generated as a html) as a comment on the ticket within Jira. Failing that we would like to be able to publish the results as simply pass/fail.
I have recently been looking at the Jenkins Jira plugin but this does not seem to have the functionality to work both ways, in other words it can post results after a job has run but you cannot trigger the job from a change of status in Jira. Is there any such plugin available or is it something that we will need to create ourselves?
Cheers in advance
So, basicly there are webhooks in jira (https://developer.atlassian.com/jiradev/jira-architecture/webhooks). With it you can configure it to trigger specific url on issue status change. The specific url should be jenkins API, for example for triggering a build you should call an external url like (if you are building with parameters): http://server/job/myjob/buildWithParameters?token=TOKEN&PARAMETER=Value
Some more info https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Remote+access+API
I have written a Jenkins plugin that supports JIRA status change trigger: jira-trigger-plugin.
This plugin also injects an environment variable of JIRA_ISSUE_KEY, so you can utilise this information to publish your result back to JIRA e.g. using REST API.
Please follow as mentioned below:
GIT:
You can set the web hooks for git/ bitbucket /stash on commit which inturn should change the state of task in JIRA.
JIRA:
Once you in JIRA. define the workflow for your task.
In this particular workflow you can set a post-function where the web hook should be configured. In this configuration of webhook in events define JQL as below:
status CHANGED FROM "To Do" TO "ready to test".
In the same mention the job that needs to be fired in the URL section.
You can look through webhooks in Jira :
https://support.atlassian.com/jira-cloud-administration/docs/manage-webhooks/
You also need to add the Generic Webhook Trigger plugin to your Jenkins :
https://plugins.jenkins.io/generic-webhook-trigger/
You can find here an example on how to use the Generic Webhook Trigger plugin with Bitbucket Github and Gitlab. https://github.com/jenkinsci/generic-webhook-trigger-plugin/tree/master/src/test/resources/org/jenkinsci/plugins/gwt/bdd
It involved multiple steps
If you are using Git/Stash/BitBucket (which i implemented),
You can simply
configure the commit hooks in your Stash/Bitbucket
Attach events to your JIRA workflow
Jenkins JOB - post build events - configure Notify
Stash plugin Set the Poll SCM
That's it
I am using jenkins for continous integration.
For my build purpose, i triggering email using Ant task. I am not able to find an environment variable to pass ant for sending email build status(success/failure/stable).
i want to know how can i get environment variable for build status?..if not available, what is the alternative option for build status?
Thanks in Advance

Why use ANT to send emails from Jenkins when you have two great plugins that does just that?
The default mail notification is quite good, and if you would like to have more control
I suggest using the Email-ext plugin which is very comprehensive.
If still wish to use ANT to sent your mail-notifications including the status
you will have to break your process into two steps,
where the first part runs the build and the second one runs the ANT script to report the status.
In this case, you will need to trigger the second job from the first job via the Parameterized Build plugin -
see my answer here:
trigger other configuration and send current build status with Jenkins
The build status is not set until the job has finished running, so there is no easy way to push build status to a process triggered within the build itself. You could pull build status via the API, but this would have to be an externally triggered process due to the constraint mentioned above. Any reason you aren't using the built in email support or one of the excellent email extension plugins such as this one?
