Setting and Passing variable to a downstream pipeline

[Doug Farmer]

Hi,

Anyone know how set within a script (shell) pass the variable/parameter from one pipeline to another? The scenario is something list this; pipeline A builds the product and creates the package with a given name which is generated within a shell script. Pipepline B has a shell script which takes the name of that artifact and the environment and deploys it. My issue is that from all the docs I've read nothing clearly outlines how best to handle this scenario. Hoping someone with more experience than me (~3 weeks) can help. 

Thanks!

Doug

One way to accomplish this, is by passing along a simple "variable.sh" artifact which you create in pipeline A. The you can easily fetch this from the A pipeline, and source/read it in your B pipeline's script.

You may also try using pipeline properties for this, but I've found that much harder to get right.
