Multibranch job export/import

[Madhu Muchukota]

Hi Team, I am trying to export and import some of our multibranch pipeline jobs into new Jenkins instance.

Do we have any documentation on this on how to export multibranch pipeline jobs?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Madhu M

You can export any job's config.xml using the Jenkins CLI (possibly via the built-in SSH server on port 2222), like so:

ssh -p 2222 <user>@<your old jenkins> get-job <job path> >config.xml

and re-import like so:

cat config.xml|ssh -p 2222 <user>@<your new  jenkins> create-job <job path>

or, w/o storing the config.xml anywhere:

ssh -p 2222 <user>@<your old jenkins> get-job <job path>|ssh -p 2222 <user>@<your new  jenkins> create-job <job path>

You can get help by issuing a "help" command (ssh ... help).

Alternatively, if you want to keep the history and archived artifacts of your jobs, just rsync the ${JENKINS_HOME}/jobs folder over. Anyway, you might need to create other resources used by your jobs first, like credentials and such. In this case, the Jenkins Configuration as Code plugin should help.

HTH...
