My Jenkins Box contains hundreds of jobs and i want them to convert into DSL code is their predefined plugins or softwares to convert the existing jenkins job.
Any suggestions on these.
Thanks....
You could try this (currently active) project with quite a good coverage:
https://plugins.jenkins.io/xml-job-to-job-dsl/ aka https://github.com/jenkinsci/xml-job-to-job-dsl-plugin/.
There isn't any plugins or utility available to automatically generate Job DSL Code from Jenkins jobs
There is a project for converting config XML to Job DSL scripts, but I do not know how useful it is:

I have Jenkins Jenkins ver. 2.82 running and would like to use the Pipeline function when creating a new job. But I dont see this listed as option. I can only choose between free-style Project, maven Project, external Project and multiconfigruation. How can I use the Pipeline option, as for example explained here: http://www.jhipster.tech/setting-up-ci-jenkins2/ . I tried to find a solution, but yet I was not successfull. Any help is very much appreciated.
You need to install the Pipeline plugin.
I have a rather large project and I'm tasked with converting current Jenkins jobs from DSL Groovy scripts into Jenkins files. Is this done manually or can I automate to some level? I did find some decent info on the Jenkins doc site but this is a mid-stream task so trying to find someone who has been through this before.

I have tons of existing Freestyle Jenkins jobs in my old Jenkins Instance and now I would like to migrate them to New Jenkins 2.0 pipeline jobs using a Jenkins file.
I am following this page to create a Jenkins file: https://jenkins.io/doc/book/pipeline/jenkinsfile/
Can someone please suggest me if there is any easy way (or) plugin i can use to convert these existing job's to pipeline view.
I haven't tried the plugin but while searching for same i came across this post:
https://jenkins.io/blog/2017/12/15/auto-convert-freestyle-jenkins-jobs-to-coded-pipeline/
Maybe this can help. Will update more after actually giving it a ago. You can go through and try by yourself as well.
don't think there is an automatic tool to convert jobs.
We created all new jobs with Jenkins DSL plugin
for the Jenkinsfile - we created some good examples of our basic flows and each team convert the relevant jobs.
I have a job in Jenkins and want the groovy script for the same? Is there a way I can do that?
I have created a Job using Jenkins, like add shell Command, Sync from repo,etc. Now I wish to have groovy script for the same, but I dont want to go to the trouble of writing the entire thing again. Is there something like Export to .groovy?
P.S. I am not sure of the correct tags.
You want to copy your configuration using Groovy script to create a new job or to persist.
Below Links are helpful for clone/ copy and create jobs using groovy script.

Can I use Jenkins CLI or some groovy scripts to create a new job
https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Clone+all+projects+in+a+View
In case you want to persist your Job, always backup your resources file such as config.xml, jenkins.xml,etc..
you can recreate job from config.xml which holds all your job configuration
Check out this plugin. It seems to be appropriate for your purpose. Though it has some restrictions for plugins in your jobs that are not capable of Pipeline syntax. Anyway, it could be useful for code generation.
I use Job DSL Plugin to generate my Jenkins builds. But sometimes I make small changes to the build in Jenkins and I want to port those changes back to my DSL script automatically. Is there any way to achieve this?
Currently there is no way to generate a Job DSL script for an existing job. This has been reported in the Jenkins issue tracker as JENKINS-16360 some time ago and someone even offered a bounty, but AFAIK no one is working on the issue.
