I had a requirement for executing jobs in parallel and came across this plugin called MultiJob plugin for Jenkins.
After going through documentation, i created phases and gave job names. But where do i create job basically.I mean the script ,build step and post build step for job "TaskToExecute1" and "TasktoExecute2".
Thanks,
VVP
You need to create the jobs that are referenced from the "Job Name".
So in your example, create a separate job/project (e.g. "New Item" -> "Freestyle Project") and call it TaskToExecute1. Then you can add a build step to that new TaskToExecute job/project.

I have created one build job in Jenkins. I want to use that same job to run on multiple nodes but with different job parameter.
You can use https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Multijob+Plugin
Create a new multyjob job, in the build section create a Multijob phase, and trigger your job with "Pre defined parameters" and "Node label parameter" to specify the node to run on, and the values of the parameters you want to trigger your job with.
Good luck!
in this plugin , it require "Projects to build", it says
"A comma separated list of projects to build"
I set a parameter in my job configuration , let's say it's named A
A="job1,job2,job3"
in "Projects to build", I pass A
Projects to build : ${A}
but it not work, so how to do?
I have a solution using a build step (and not a post-build step) with the trigger parameterized plugin.
Add a parameter to define the child job:
Add a "Trigger/build on other projects" build step:
Trigger your job with the child job to launch:
It works:
I did a test with a list of two jobs and it works :)
I want to trigger project in jekins if first project is build successful then trigger another project and so on.. how can do it. I hava project1 , project2, and project3, project4, project5 so on. here I am configuring "Multi-configuration project" job.
for exp:- project1->success then trigger project2->success then trigger project3
if any stage failed then doesn't trigger other project.This is "Multi-configuration project" job, because this single job, I am trigger on multiple slaves remotely.
A simple way to do this would be to define this build pipeline using the Pipeline plugin.
This pipeline script should give you the desired behaviour:
build job: 'project1'
build job: 'project2'
build job: 'project3'
build job: 'project4'
build job: 'project5'
i.e. A build of each job will be started in sequence; if any one of them fails, then the subsequent jobs will not be started.
Even with "Multi-configuration project" you should be able to set a post-build action "Trigger parameterized build on other projects". Then you can specify condition which will define when this project should be build, and add parameters, including "build on the same node".
Using Jenkins, I am trying to arrange for the success of one build to trigger another build, so that there will be a cascade of builds until failure.
Given three projects (project1, project2, and project3), I am using Parameterized Trigger Plugin. How should I write the condition in the "Predefined parameters" field.
For example:
project1->success then trigger project2->success then trigger project3
In Jenkins I configure freestyle job.
Use a wrapper job of MultiJob type:
https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Multijob+Plugin
This will enable you to put each of your projects as a phase in the build and build the logic you need and much more
Look for the "Trigger when build is" Stable
I am using the jenkins multijob plugin to execute a number of parallel builds in the same build phase and i want to display the test results in the main multijob project so i select a post-build action step to 'Aggregate down stream test results' and select both options 'Automatically aggregate all downstream tests' and 'Include failed builds in results' but when the jobs complete and i go into the main multijob project it shows 'no tests' under 'Latest Test Result' link...
Has anyone else encountered this issue? My downstream 'child' projects that run in parallel are multi-configuration projects.
As a previous poster indicated, this is an open issue in the Jenkins JIRA and does not work. There is a workaround to achieve what your looking for. Your going to need the Copy Artifact Plugin and to also Archive the test result files as Artifacts in your jobs that are doing the test runs.
After you have installed this and configured your test run jobs properly, go to your Multijob and after all your test phases add a build step "Copy artifacts from another project" for each of the jobs you want the test results from. You can use "Specified by permalink" and use the "Last build" permalink to always retrieve the latest artifacts. Select the artifacts you want to copy (i.e. *.xml), and input your target directory as something like "job1". If you add multiple build steps to copy artifacts from another project, just name your target directories for the copied artifacts something similar like "job2", "job3", etc.
Then select a Post-build action in your Multijob as you would to Publish JUnit test result report (or whatever you prefer) and input **/job*/*.xml (or similar).
This is what I did, and it works just fine. It is a bit manual in the setup, but it works great once its configured.
