Promoted Builds Plugin - Multiple Approvers

[Chris]

I have a use case where for a production promotion both the sysadmin
for websphere and the dba have to independently approve a promotion.
I was using the promoted builds plugin and I had originally configured
the promotion to trigger one downstream deploy job which will
automatically deploy the app and do the database migrations. It looks
like the promoted builds plugin is only supporting a single approval.
I was trying to think of an alternate way to accept two different
approvals and trigger 1 job but I am drawing a blank. I would like to
keep a single deploy job in order to coordinate the shutdown and
startup of the application with the db migration, so that the app is
not up during a migration that requires downtime. has anyone solved
this problem already?

Thanks,
chris

I think it wouldn't be too hard to support creating more than 1
instance of a promotion condition (like manual approval). This would
be akin to how the free style job supports multiple instances of the
same type of build steps. I think this would require a bit of a
change to the UI but the internals of the promotion plugin should be
pretty well suitable for doing this.

This sounds like a great feature so I added it as a feature request.
