I think job B would see SVN_REVISION not SVN_REVISION_NUMBER because you are setting SVN_REVISION in the post-build section. We use the "triggger/call builds on other projects" for the build step and it works perfectly fine to call job B from job A and echo the predefined parameters passed to it. We use this to have a general deploy job that takes the server and instance as parameters from the more specific deploy job i.e. deploy_test calls deploy_web and passes the test server and instance as a parameter and this all works correctly.

It appears (at least with my experience) the only variables passed from Job A -> Job B are the variables predefined by Jenkins. To work around the issue, in my build shell for Job A, I wrote the variable=value into a file and used the “Parameters from properties file” Parameter in the “Trigger parameterized build on other projects” when running Job B.

(We understand that there's the option to use "This build is parameterized" String Parameter and set SVN_REVISION value as HEAD, but we have our reasons to not use that) echo ${SVN_REVISION_NUM} export SVN_REVISION=${SVN_REVISION_NUM} echo ${SVN_REVISION} output + SVN_REVISION_NUM=47337 : + echo 47337 47337 + export SVN_REVISION=47337 + SVN_REVISION=47337 In Post-build Actions section we have Trigger parameterized build on other projects, and predefined parameter set to SVN_REVISION=${SVN_REVISION_NUM} But in Job B console, it dosent see the revision number and Job B's SCM could retrieve the revision number Location 'https://jobBhost.com/svn/src@${SVN_REVISION_NUM}' does not exist What did we do wrong ? Thanks
