How to copy jobs from existing Jenkins profile to the upgraded Jenkins

Hi,

How can I copy jobs from existing Jenkins profile to the upgraded Jenkins, also I need to configure all the existing installed plugins in the new one !

We automate and replicate jenkins jobs by using the jenkins-job-builder (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/jenkins-job-builder).  I'm not sure there's a good solution to automating and replicating jenkins plugins.  I think the only thing you can do is to copy the all of the *.hpi files, these are the plugins, to your upgraded jenkins and then copy the config.xml file there as well since that contains all of the global plugin configs then restart jenkins.
