How is the child job being triggered? Have you added the current build parameters to be passed to the downstream job? Or set up the predefined parameters to pass $ReleaseNum?

Child job is set to use '$ReleaseNum' as part of a new string parameter 'TargetDir' to create a directory path. There is an artifact copy step that uses $TargetDir to copy artifacts. There is also an execute shell step that uses $TargetDir. In the copy artifacts step, $TargetDir never resolves $ReleaseNum and the files are copied to /home/whatever/$ReleaseNum. In the execute shell step, $TargetDir is correctly populated. I got around it by deleting the $TargetDir parameter and entering the same path in both jobs as mostly hardcoded plus the $ReleaseNum parameter. I am sad that it is not working as expected. Am I doing something wrong? On Wed, Apr 24, 2013 at 4:10 PM, Jared Griffith <jgriff...@picsauditing.com<mailto:jgriff...@picsauditing.com>> wrote: Not a problem!

Install the Jenkins Parameterized Trigger plugin<http://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Parameterized+Trigger+Plugin>. Then in the Post Build Actions section of the job, add the Trigger Parameterized Build on Other Projects. There are several options you can pass to the down stream jobs from there.
