Invoke Job with parameters

This can be done from FlexDeploy unix shell plugin using the command below.
  • Details in blue need to be updated for your setup or job being invoked.
  • Add necessary inputs to a FlexDeploy workflow and use the values in command below in place of INPUT1, INPUT2.
  • We are using JENKINS_URL, JENKINS_USERNAME, JENKINS_PASSWORD properties, which can be added to FlexDeploy workflow properties and values will be defined on Topology.
