ALI Integration Problem - Build Configuration XML is empty

[Florian E]

Hi,

I have problems to connect Jenkins and HP ALM. I want to start a SW build with Jenkins and see the result of the build process in HP ALM (success, unstable, failure, ...).

My configuration - call it Jenkins-New:

Jenkins LTS ver. 2.89.4

HP ALM 11

ALI 2.0

Hudson Integration with HP ALM - plugin installed from the ALI 2.5 Bundle for ALM 11 V2.5.

Configuration is made according the plugin page and a pdf user guide: "HP Application Lifecycle Intelligence For the HP ALM Platform Software Version: 2.0 For ALM 11.00, SP2 or later"

In Manage Jenkins -> Configure System ALI Integration is configured and in the Job a Post-build Aktion with ALI Integration is configured as well.

Now the problem:

On Jenkins main page in the left menu I have a ALI Integration entry. When I click on it the last entry shows the "Build Configurations" in a XML file.

The content is: 

This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.

<buildConfigurations/>

When I try to add my build configuration in HP ALM, I can find the server but there is no build configuration. I only get the dialog: "There is no appropriate build configuration on server."

I have a second Jenkins installation - call it Jenkins-Old.

The entry "Build Configurations" shows the following.

<buildConfigurations>

<buildConfiguration sid="Test Job" name="Test Job" description=""/>

</buildConfigurations>

In HP ALM when I try to add the build configuration I get the "Test Job" to select.

Has anybody encountered this problem as well?

BR,

Florian

I found a solution for the problem, after 3 day's :-)

I put the job in a "folder" which I created with the Folder plugin. When I move the job to the "root" folder it appeares in the Build Configuration XML!

So don't use folders. Use view's instead to get a better overview of your jobs.
