Jenkins Migration Job

Description: Migrate an existing job from a Jenkins server A to another Jenkins Server B. Method: You can copy or move build jobs between instances of projects simply enough to copying or moving the build job Directo Ries to the new Jenkins instance.
The specific steps are as follows: 1, first confirm Jenkins job storage directory. Login Jenkins with Admin account, click "System Management/System Setup" to confirm Jenkins working directory. In this example, the working directory for Jenkins A is/home/.jenkins, and Jenkins B's working directory is/root/.jenkins.
2. Next, migrate the jobs directory. Login to Jenkins a server, enter working directory, compress jobs directory, and copy to B:

Cd/home/.jenkins tar-czvf jobs.tar.gz jobs scp-f Jobs.tar root@bip:/root/.jenkins/
3, then, on B to extract Jobs.tar to the jobs directory, and restart Jenkins Server B. Note: Reboot is not required. 1 to load the newly migrated job by restarting Hudson:

Cd/root/.jenkins TAR-ZXVF Jobs.tar This example restarts the Jenkins by restarting the Tomcat service, and other restart processes that run Jenkins through the jar.

cd/opt/tomcat/tomcat7/bin/./shutdown.sh./startup.sh 2) does not require a reboot: just go to the Manage Jenkins screens and click on Reload C Onfiguration from

5, note 1) Modify the configuration of the job: Because the previous job setting was performed on a node of Jenkins A, you would need to check the configuration of the job if you wanted it to be executed on a node Jenkins B Restrict where this project can Be run to set the node for the job to run.

2 plugin: If Jenkins a plugin installed, and B does not, the migrated tasks may also need to install a plug-in. There are a few gotchas, however. If you are are migrating your jobs to a brand new Jenkins configuration, remember to install, or migrate, the plugins from R Original server. The plugins can is found in the plugins directory, so can simply copy everything from this directory to the correspond ing directory in your new instance.
