setting build name while job is running using build-name-setter plugin

[sivarajesh jarugula]

I have a jenkins page with  multiple users running jobs simultaneously
the jenkins page can be logged in using LDAP user accounts.
while jobs are running from multiple users, I would like to see the username in each build number
this helps users does not kill the job IDs of other users (is there any other way to restrict LDSP users see only  their jobs, but not others jobs?)
But I am able to see the username in build history, only after job is finished but not while the job is running as shown in below snapshot:




Following are the settings that I am using for build-name-setting plugin:


If I set the "Set build name before build starts", jenkins gives error saying BUILD_USER_ID is not available.


Thanks in Advance,
Siva Rajesh

I would assign the user ID to a build parameter. Then it would be available before the build starts

Hi Loannis,

Can you elaborate more on how to do this?

where do I assign it? in the executable shell?

Thanks,

SIva Rajesh
