Of course, I found the solution myself shortly after writing to the list, despite the fact that I played with the problem the whole day...
The solution is https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Parameterized+Trigger+Plugin When you don't check the option to trigger unparameterized builds, and also don't provide any parameters, it will not trigger a new build, but the downstream job will still be blocked. Exactly what I needed. Thanks for listening, Andreas 2013/7/29 Andreas Ebbert-Karroum <andr...@karroum.de> > Hi, > > I am out of ideas at the moment.
