How to share (non-secret) variables between jobs

[Ashish Sharma]

Dear All,

We have a bunch of jobs which will use some common variables like user names, urls etc (which are not secrets or credentials). Is there a way (or plugin maybe) to share these variables between jobs (something like credentials plugin for secrets).

TIA,

Ashish

Simply parsing the required variables while triggering the downstream job.

stage ('Invoke_pipelineA') {
            steps {
                build job: 'pipelineA', parameters: [
                string(name: 'param1', value: "value1")
                ]
            }
        }
        

/BR

John

Hi John,

We don't have dependent (upstream-downstream) pipelines, these pipeline are in same hierarchy and triggered separately.

But since these are microservice for same project, we want to share some variables among these.

Oh.. in that case I guess you have to handle it in your scripts only, if the values are dynamically created in one job and you have to pass to another which is not dependant.

May be you can check the job status and check if its running and then get some values from logs.

You could maybe use https://www.jenkins.io/doc/book/pipeline/shared-libraries/ and load those variable from a global shared library and used inside the pipelines.

Thanks All, we are now saving these variables in shared groovy files and loading file in job pipeline to read variables.
