How to prevent two Jenkins jobs from running in parallel ?

Two jobs that are not dependent but needs to use same OS resources, We don't want to make a dependency but if one of the jobs is already running the other should wait until it finishes. also don't want to limit executors to 1.

 

Thanks.

Step by Step Beginners Guide to CDF (Community Dashboard Framework)

Dashboards used to be the hottest buzzword among BI enthusiasts such as myself, a Dashboard is like a mini application which gives managers a bird's-eye view of data for the purpose of decision making.

EhCache name issue -jboss 5 upgrade

I am facing a very strange issue with respect to the cache names referenced by the EhCache module under jboss5. It is pre-pending the word "true" before my cache names and hence they can no be found:

 

"starting query cache at region: true.org.hibernate.xxx.yyy "

 

and also:

 

"Could not find a specific ehcache configuration for cache named true.com.xxx.yyy.xxx.userList]; using defaults.

 

Has anyone faced a similar issue and was able to resolve it?

 

No Google references please unless trhere is an answer there, thank you.

is it possible to use full path to ant build file in a Jenkins job?

I'm trying to create a Jenkins job that:

  • execute an ant file on the local file system, ant will execute jmeter tests.
  • Performance plugin to create graphs from the jmeter reports.

but I can't find a way to make Jenkins find the build file, my job has only an ant build step, no SCM checkout:

the ant configuration contains only the full path to my ant file:

/home/shalom/dev/dev-otho/automation/stress/build.xml

 

but I keep getting this from Jenkins

Started by user anonymous
FATAL: Unable to find build script at /home/shalom/dev/dev-otho/automation/stress/build.xml
Finished: FAILURE

 

same thing happens when i try to setup the full path to jmeter reports in Performance Plugin:

Maven Deployment Linker - plugin

This plugin does somthing so simple yet very useful instead of archiving artifact it will list the deployments performed at build time to the Maven Proxy you are running regardless to the proxy vendor (Archiva, Artifactory or Nexus).

 

All you need to do in your maven build is select 1 checkbox:

Link to maven deployments

You can also filter artifacts with regex.

 

The result is:

artifacts

And the status bar shows:

Looking for "Memory consumption report" - per module in Maven 2

I am looking for a solution which will list Memory consumption per maven module during execution.

Very similar to the one presented at the end of the build

 

for exmaple:

Remove the "All view" in Hudson + view enhancement plugins

I had tow motivations of getting rid of the All view

  1. The All view is quite annoying don't you think? After using Hudson for a while you have tens/hundreds of jobs lined up in a huge list - who needs that right.
  2. I wanted a "hidden jobs section" - Jobs no one but myself (and who ever needs access to it) can see.

 

In order to get rid of it (the All view) simply:

Tuning big java heap and linux huge pages

I recently had to run a jvm with large heap size, without getting into technical details we need the jvm to carry about 25G of cached memory that we load on stratup, so we want to start the jvm with 30G of minimum and maximum memory.  we have a 64G 16DC machine running centos 5.5. the machine is running both our application on tomcat and a postgresql database.

what ever we did we couldn't start the jvm with more then 25G with -Xms25g -Xmx25g, apparently the jvm needs contiguous memory blocks, and even with 64G physical memory the OS can't find 30G of contiguous memory,although free -m shows that there are more then 45G available. we even tried starting the machine without postgresql on startup and then try to allocate the jvm heap but it didn't help, 25G is the maximum we could do. and we tried it with sum jvm, ibm and jrockit, they all behave the same way.
