Some of our jobs use the following script in a build step to set the build number of the downstream jobs:
echo **** Keep build numbers in pipeline consistent ****** "C:\Program Files (x86)\Curl\curl.exe" -d "nextBuildNumber=%BUILD_NUMBER%" http://user:password@localhost:8080/job/DOWNSTREAM_JOB1/nextbuildnumber/submit "C:\Program Files (x86)\Curl\curl.exe" -d "nextBuildNumber=%BUILD_NUMBER%" http://user:password@localhost:8080/job/DOWNSTREAM_JOB2/nextbuildnumber/submit This uses the nextbuildnumber<https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Next+Build+Number+Plugin> plugin.

Not sure i fully understood the steps. Can you elaborate? Where do i set a Predefined parameter and are you saying that once the variable is predefined I can merely reference the variable using the ${MYBUILD_NUMBER} in the downstream job?

I want to be able to pass the build number from the upstream job to be used in the downstream jobs as the build number there. How is this best accomplished.
