I have a multi-module Maven project like this:
Parent_Project
Module_A
Module_B
Module_C
I have a Jenkins job that builds the project and archives some artifacts using an Archive the artifacts post-build action.
I have a second Jenkins job where I want to copy one of the archived artifacts using the Copy artifacts from another project build step.
Now, if I configure it like this in Jenkins:
#Copy artifacts from another project
Project name: PARENT_PROJECT
i receive the following warning:
Artifacts will be copied from all modules of this Maven project;
click the help icon to learn about selecting a particular module.
... and Jenkins will indeed loop through all the modules, including the parent project and eventually find the artifact.
But is there a way to configure Jenkins to ONLY look for the archived artifacts in the parent project (and ignore artifacts from the modules)?

I am running a an automation script in Jenkins . Does 'Archive artifacts only if build is successful' set as true means, any artifacts won't be created in Jenkins if build fails ? OR does this means the artifacts are created in the specified folder,but they are not saved for later and once delete workspace is run,the artifacts created will be gone forever.
Archiving artifacts in jenkins means that the artifacts will be saved on the Jenkins master (for later usage). Even if the job is finished and the workspace is cleaned.
For example for maven this setting means: if your maven build is successful (no failures) then the created artifacts (jars, wars or an ear) will be archived/stored on the Jenkins master and you can safely clean the workspace.
I don't know mortar but in your case this will probably also mean: if the build is successful on your Jenkins slave, then your Artifacts will be copied to the jenkins master and stored there. If you clean your workspace after the build or just not isn't related.
I'm a little confused on what exactly jenkins (2.74) is doing when archiving artifacts from a maven project. It appears from the logs that jenkins is automatically archiving artifacts in the project without having to specify a post-build action. The artifact files are indeed in the jobs/<project>/modules subdirectory and are available for download from the jenkins webui.
When triggering a follow-on job, I've added a build step to copy artifacts from the upstream (which build: upstream build that triggered this job) without specifying artifacts. The log files for the downstream state that is has copied artifacts from the upstream job. But I'm unable to see them in the workspace.
Are the artifacts available to the downstream job? If so, where are they?
Or do I need to explicitly archive the artifacts (with filenames) in the upstream job and explicitly copy the artifacts by filename in the downstream job?
In your downstream job, you should set this kind of configuration:
To specify the artifacts you want to retrieve from your upstream job and where you can to copy them.
In your case, we copy the openidm-zip file into a local "archives" folder.
I'm running a jenkins job on a slave and i want to store the generated artifacts in the server.Since the job is currently running on the slave the artifacts are also created there.
I tried using post build actions --->archive the artifacts.But it throws the following build error
ERROR: No artifacts found that match the file pattern "**/*.gz". Configuration error?
ERROR: '**/*.gz' doesn't match anything: '**' exists but not '**/*.gz'
Any help in this regards is highly appreciated.
Sounds like Copy To Slave Plugin is what you need
It can copy to slave (before build) and from slave (after build)
Copy files back to master node:
To activate this plugin for a given job, simply check the Copy files back to the job's workspace on the master node checkbox in the Post-build Actions section of the job. You then get the same two fields as for the Copy files to slave node before building section (note that label in the screenshot is old):
if you want to copy artifacts from JobA to the workspace of some other Job, you can do it using the Copy Artifact Plugin which is very simple to understand.
In case you just want to archive the artifacts already in JobA, then you are already in this direction and need to check what you are missing... are you sure that the artifacts are in the current workspace?

We have a build project which always generates three files (artifacts). When promoted, these files will be used for a setup package. With the promoted builds plugin, it's only possible to promote all artifacts of a build. Is there a way to only promote selected files of a build? Currently I can only think of splitting up the build process into separate projects - but then we've the problem with different workspaces.
Thanks a lot.
The Promoted Builds plugin by itself does not "promote" the artifacts. It promotes a build run.
Part of the promotion process may be a Copy Artifacts step, and that is the step that takes the artifacts from promoted build run and does ... whatever you have configured for the promotion.
In the Copy Artifacts step, you can definitely specify a pattern for the files to copy.
My environment uses Gradle for builds, Jenkins for CI, and Artifactory for a repository. I use the Artifactory plugin for Jenkins.
Jenkins successfully builds my main jar file and uploads it to Artifactory. The build script has a second target for creating a distribution zip file under build/distributions. Jenkins creates the zip file successfully, but I don't know how to tell it to upload that artifact to Artifactory, too.
Is this something I should be able to specify in the Jenkins Artifactory plugin config, or something I should define in the Gradle build script? Thanks for any pointers.
You should configure the archives configuration to include all the archives you intend to publish as described in Gradle's user manual. Not only Artifactory will pick up all the files to deploy automatically (without messing with Published Artifacts configuration), you won't even need to run the second task. All the archives will be creating by running the build task.
I assume you have configured artifactory server correctly in Manage Jenkins section; also your job is setup as a Freestyle Project.
Select your job and click Configure. Check Generic Artifactory Integration in Build Environment. Select your Artifactory Server and Target Repository from drop downs, check Override default deployer credentials if required. In Published Artifacts you enter the pattern for your zip file to be published, e.g. ${WORKSPACE}/distr/*.zip (where by WORKSPACE is jenkins current project's workspace and distr/*.zip your distribution zip file). Check if required Capture and publish build info, Include environment variables etc. Save your job. When you build it the next time, the zip file will be uploaded and will be available in the Builds section on artifactory.
