Dynamically Change Job Name

[JJ]

Does anyone know how to do this:

Use Case

Job Name: ABC-JOB　

ABC-JOB can be used by dozens of teams, at any time. If submissions of ABC-JOB are made while one is running, they will queue up until the one executing finishes because multiple jobs with the same name cannot run simultaneously.

I want to create a job that calls ABC-JOB but dynamically changes the name of the job so they don't queue up. For example, three people submit the job that triggers ABC_JOB.  Instead of 3 instances of ABC_JOB submitting, with two of them in a queue status, the trigger job would name them:
ABC_JOB_appl1, ABC_JOB_appl2, and ABC_JOB_appl3 so they can run concurrently.

Thanks in advance for your help.

there is a "Execute concurrent builds if necessary" check box in freestyle builds that will enable this

You might also want to set build description as a first build step. That way you will see which parameters where used when building.


Here's what I do (you might do it in one step with Groovy):
