Jenkins plugin

Use the Jenkins plugin to submit Jenkins jobs and check build results from Deployment Automation.

To use the plugin's steps, open the process designer and select Integration > Jenkins in the Tools pane.

Note: The Jenkins plugin is different from the Jenkins source configuration type. Source configuration types are special integrations for importing component versions into Deployment Automation. For details, see Use source configuration types.
