FWIW, I do the same thing but use a generic job. To avoid confusion I set the display name to indicate who/what/which job called it. so a history of the generic job could look like:
Post-Build-Process-Dev-23 Post-Build-Process-Dev-22 Post-Build-Process-Dev-21 Post-Build-Process-Release-20 Post-Build-Process-Release-19 Post-Build-Process-Dev-18 And “actually” what I do is pass in the build number of the caller so the “real” history looks like this: Post-Build-Process-Dev-23 Post-Build-Process-Dev-22 Post-Build-Process-Dev-21 Post-Build-Process-Release-3 Post-Build-Process-Release-2 Post-Build-Process-Dev-20 From: jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com [mailto:jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Steve K Sent: Tuesday, March 24, 2015 12:02 PM To: jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com Subject: Is it OK to link config.xml files? Hello, I have a set of jobs that are identical, except for their names. For example, I might have a job named "Downstream-Post-Build-Process-Dev" and "Downstream-Post-Build-Process-Release". The upstream jobs that trigger these jobs tell the downstream job what directory to use for the processing. I could have the upstream jobs call the same downstream job, for example "Downstream-Post-Build-Process-Generic", but that is likely to confuse the casual observer of the job's results. So, to ease maintenance, I would like to link Downstream-Post-Build-Process-Dev\config.xml to Downstream-Post-Build-Process-Release\config.xml. Are there any known "gotcha's" with respect to linking config.xml files? FWIW; the Jenkins server is on Windows. Thanks in advance.
