Hello Everyone,

Currently, we are running 1.580.3 version of Jenkin cluster. Planning to migrate to Latest stable release of jenkins -2.5.x. Can someone suggest me the steps to move forward please?

Tests i performed:

Installed Jenkins-2.5.x in one of my development machine and copied some jobs from old version of cluster (1.580.3) to this cluster and installed necessary plugins. But i see some file not able to save in newer format. Its alerting me to go to 1.6.x version of Jenkins.

so i need some advice to move over from here. Thanks in Advance.

Thanks,

Kalai

Hi there,

There are already similar questions in this group:

Recommendation: backup the JENKINS_HOME.

Tip: Some security fixes will change the Jenkins behaviour as mentioned in the above urls. Some of those behaviours can be rolled back if you use some java properties to redefine them...
