Parameterized build plugin to launch sequential jobs

[greg.f...@goodautomation.com]

Currently I'm using the parameterized build plugin to run the same job multiple times. This downstream job, however, takes different parameters for each build, so I have accomplished this by choosing the option to "trigger a build for each file." The later builds then read their parameter files. 

N number of these files are created, each with their own parameters and then the subsequent builds execute. This works fine except for the fact that all these jobs execute in parallel and it seems if one fails the others still execute. The "parent" job will of course fail still but the fact that all the other jobs that were launched in parallel still have to complete is a bit of a time waste.

I was hoping to use the i=0..N option but I can't figure out how to accomplish what I want to do with it. First, the "N" will be variable, determined at build time. Second, as far as I can tell the parameters need to be static and known when I'm setting up my build, which they won't be. If someone can give me a way to have downstream, parameterized jobs execute in series and quit if a previous parameterized job fails, that would be excellent.
