Hello, I have a similar process. Promotions can't archive the artifacts so what I did instead was create a second project…
* First project runs. If successful, it creates an artifact of the distribution. * If promoted, it calls on the second project to perform the task. * Second project uses the copy plugin to copy the artifact into its workspace and perform actions. * Both first and second project get marked as keep forever. It means the first project will be bloated with artifacts. Jenkins is running on a server with a 300 Gig HD to account for this (each distribution is one gig). Cheers!
