I am new to Perforce and Jenkins. I need to integrate perforce with Jenkins to automate the build process and build need to run based on changelist,
kindly suggest how to proceed
NOTE: Jenkins running in windows and perforce server running in Linux
Thanks,

how can we tell Jenkins to download and run JMeter tests on a remote system rather than from the Jenkins server itself?
My requirement is to create a job in Jenkins to download the latest code from a repo to another system where JMeter is installed and run the JMeter tests on that remote system rather than from Jenkins server itself? I can trigger the tests from Jenkins server itself but unable to connect to remote server and download/trigger the server.
You need to get familiarized with the concept of Jenkins Distributed Builds, it's enough to start Jenkins agent proces on the "remote system" and bind your job to execute on that agent instead of Jenkins master.
With regards to tracking changes in the remote repo check out Generic Webhook Trigger and How to Integrate Your GitHub Repository to Your Jenkins Project articles
I use Jenkins for Continuous Integration, and I plan to add SonarQube to its tasks. I know it is possible to run SonarQube server and database remotely from the scanner, thanks to the documentation.
I tried to install sonarqube and sonarscanner plugins in Jenkins, setting up a slave connected to the server hosting sonarqube and sonarscanner, but Jenkins can't trigger a scan.
I also don't understand how Sonar would get the code ? Is Jenkins supposed to send it all to the server ?
Or do I have to manage the pulling from the repository on the server hosting Sonar ?
You're correct, the scanner must be on the build machine.
I just concluded my GitHub integration with Jenkins so that every time I commit code to my GitHub repository, Jenkins automatically builds.
Now I'm trying to integrate SonarCloud too but I haven't been successful.
I'm not looking to integrate with a local SonarQube server, I really need SonarCloud for my team to check it every time Jenkins builds.
I'm not sure if I should analyse the project locally to achieve this or if I can analyse my Jenkins server or GitHub repository and get the result I want because I can't find any documentation.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thank you!
Sonarcloud is just a sonarqube server.
Just use sonar-scanner(the documentation for jenkins can be found here).
At first, you need to install the jenkins plugin for sonar-scanner.
After that, you open the configuration of sonar-scanner using Manage Jenkins > Configure System.
Insert https://sonarcloud.io under Server URL and your sonar token(of sonarclound) under Server authentication token
Under Manage Jenkins > Configure System, you should check Enable injection of SonarQube server configuration as build environment variables and in Build Environment in your job, you should enable Prepare SonarScanner environment.
After you've done that, you can run sonar-scanner with $SONAR_MAVEN_GOAL (if you are using maven), ./gradlew sonarqube (if you are using gradle) or sonar-scanner (if you use none of that).
I have a project on local TFS server. This project has a PowerShell script which creates the build.
I need to create a correct JOB in Jenkins, which will start when any change happens in the project (TFS). This job will automatically start PS script on project directory.
Please, help me with this task.
Based on your description, you just need to integrate Jenkins with TFS and set CI/CD to trigger the build/release in Jenkins.
To run PowerShell in Jenkins you can refer this article: Running Powershell scripts using Jenkins
For the Jenkins integration and CI/CD, you can reference below articles:

Suggest me how to migrate all build logs, jobs, config files jenkins to teamcity .
From teamcity to teamcity it is possible, from same CI servers it is possible.. But what are the steps to migrate jenkins to teamcity?
There is no direct upgrade path.
You must manually recreate project, build configurations and steps based on the technology you use.
It's not possible to convert build history, artifacts or other data from Jenkins.
