Jenkins

Jenkins is an extendable open source continuous integration server. To use Jenkins as an artifact source, you must install the Deployment Automation plug-in in Jenkins. All of the configuration of the plug-in is done in Jenkins. For details, see the Jenkins wiki Plugins page.

When the Jenkins Deployment Automation plug-in is configured, a Jenkins post-build step pushes the built artifacts into the Deployment Automation CodeStation repository and either deploys them immediately, if the Run process after creating a new version option is selected, or deploys later when a deployment process associated with the component is executed.

When you select Jenkins in the Source Config Type field, no additional fields appear. This selection indicates that you are using the Jenkins Deployment Automation plug-in. You do not have to select Jenkins in the Source Config Type since the plug-in is running in Jenkins, but it is a good practice to indicate that you are using Jenkins indirectly to bring the artifacts into Deployment Automation.

For information about creating components, see Creating Components.

See Basic Fields for information about the standard fields that apply to each source type.
