Specific order for downstream "Build other projects" ?

[daleq]

Hi,

Using Jenkins 1.619, the execution order of jobs specified in "Build other projects" is non-deterministic in my experiments.

I have about 10 jobs that are listed in "Build other projects".  I'd like to be able to order those jobs.

e.g.

Initiator_Job_1

  Job_A

  ...

  Job_N

The reason that I don't serialize (chaining together in Jenkins) is that I want to arbitrarily run any one job at a later time without executing downstream jobs.

Is there a way to specify job sequence for jobs listed in "Build other projects"?

Thanks,

Dale

As I read your description I think you are looking for a build pipe line. [1]

Thanks Nick for the pointer to Build Pipeline.  

I'm thinking this is "heavier" than what I'm hoping for.  But I'll keep this in mind.

Thanks again.
