Jenkins installed as a service on Windows running processes on Linux

[Kofi Boateng]

Hi,

I have Jenkins installed as a service on Windows. I need to connect to a Linux server which runs PeopleSoft Application. Then run PeopleSoft processes.

I installed SSH remote hosts in Jenkins and I was able to connect to the Linux server by building the Job. However, when I execute the PeopleSoft command (pssqr...) I am getting a 'sudo...' error.

I am missing something for my setup?

Would my existing setup work or I need to install Jenkins master Server/Client with the Client on Jenkins?

Regards,

This does not look like Jenkins issue per se.

I installed SSH remote hosts in Jenkins and I was able to connect to the Linux server by building the Job. However, when I execute the PeopleSoft command (pssqr...) I am getting a 'sudo...' error.

I am missing something for my setup?

If I were you, would be doing these to check this error:

Build job is executed as 'what user', determine from the build logs.

On the Linux box, if I can connect via ssh (independent of Jenkins), as what user PeopleSoft commands can be run ?
 

Would my existing setup work or I need to install Jenkins master Server/Client with the Client on Jenkins?

Not sure if this is needed.

It would help if you could share details on any scripts you use while the job is tirggered ? like, using  any shell or pipeline scripts or ansible playbooks ?
