I have added job A,B and C in jenkins. Job B dependent on Job A , Job C is dedepdent on Job A and Job B.
If I trigger build on Job A, Job B and Job C will start building also as they are dependent on A.
But Job C will get build 2 times, because dependency A -> B -> C and A -> C.
So how can I restrict Job C to build only once ?
You can block a build of job C when upstream project is building. Hit the checkbox under Advanced Project Options:
Having this, build of job C won't start before finishing a build of job B. As it's not possible to have two or more builds of the same job in the build queue, job C will be triggered once.
Note: this is a tricky way. Please be sure that you can't use only A -> B -> C relationship.
Use post build action - > Trigger parametrized build on other project
Install this plugin to get this option.

I have the following pipeline setup:
Pipeline A starts at 10am and contains multiple subpipelines (A1, A2, A3,...)
Pipeline B starts at 12am.
In pipeline B i want to check the status of some subpipelines. For example if A1 &&
if (A1.equals("Success") && A2.equals("Success")) {
start jobX
}
Note that during this evaluation Pipeline A is still running. Is there a way to achive this?
By 'subpipelines' do you mean that they are building(calling/initiating) a different job?
Dependency is :
When Job A finished it will start Job B and Job C then Job C starts Job D And when Job D and Job B finishes then only We need to start the Job E.
Please suggest how I can achieve this.
When Job A finished it will start Job B and Job C: Job B and Job C can be triggered just as Post build step by A
Then Job C starts Job D: Same thing, D triggered as post build step by C.
When Job D and Job B finishes then only We need to start the Job E: than i would: you can trigger E from D or B, or from both of them as build step, and then just use in E the parameter "Block build if certain jobs are running", and block set D and B as condition. This way E will be triggered by D and B but it will wait till the time no one of them is running to start running his task. There are other way but i think that this one is the easiest.
Let me know if it helps...
You could use the Parameterized Trigger Plugin which allow you to do just that. For example, after installing the plugin, in Job A you would have the possibility to Add build step which will allow you to trigger another job(s).
Join plugin along with build pipeline plugin :)
In Jenkins I can create a "List View" and sort all the jobs you want in that list. Can a similar list view be created where I can sort out all my "Build pipeline Views" based on different catagories?
My pipelines:
pipeline1 : Job A -> Job B -> Job C
pipeline2: Job D -> Job E -> Job F
pipeline3: Job G -> Job H -> Job I
pipeline4: Job J -> Job K -> Job L
My list view should list the pipeline like so:
ListView1: pipeline1, pipeline3
ListView2: pipeline2, pipeline4
Is there any plugin which can help me with this or any other alternative way to do this?
Answer
You can use Jenkins Build Pipeline Plugin which will be a best fit for your scenario.
You can sort these by only configuring in Jenkins based on the order which you have asked in the question, as Jenkins thread will execute based on your Job configuration in Admin UI Screen.
I have a below scenario
Parent Job triggers Job B and Job B triggers Job C and Job C triggers D in sequence irrespective of whether the child jobs (B,C,D) are failure or success.
What I want to achive is only after the Job B,Job C,Job D is success and JOB E should be triggered .If by chance any of the child jobs (B,C,D) failes then the final Job E should not be triggered.
How shall I go about this ?Any plugin is there?
Select Trigger only if build is stable.
You may also be interested in using the Workflow plugin (as in your jenkins-workflow tag, perhaps accidental) to orchestrate the whole system programmatically:
build 'B'
build 'C'
build 'D'
build 'E'
I would like to configure a project in Hudson as shown below.
The starting Job is Job-A. When this job is finished it has to trigger three other jobs, B, C and D together. These three jobs may take different times to complete. Once the jobs B, C and D are finished it has to trigger another job E.
I have seen options like, Pipe line plugin, parameterized plugin etc.These are working fine for the first stage. ie, it will trigger build B, C and D together when job A is completed. But I am stuck at configuring the JOB E in such a way that, it has to start only when all the jobs, B, C & D are finished.
Please assist. Thanks in advance.
Use the Join Plugin, that will allow you to start B, C, and D after A is finished, then trigger E when they are successfully done.
Use simple DSL Scripts
Example:
parallel
(
{build("job1")}
{build("job2")}
{build("job3")}
)
build("job4")
here 3 jobs running in parallel phase.
4th job get excuted only after the completion of parallel jobs.
