Setup Delivery pipeline in Jenkins (Add ‘Delivery pipeline’ view)

This is continuation of previous tutorial.

Go to the jenkins dashboard

You would see + sign as seen above, click it

Select ‘Delivery Pipeline View’ radio button and enter any view name

Click Ok

Scroll down the page, you will see ‘Add’ button under ‘Pipelines’ section

Click Add

Enter any name

Select first job from the ‘Initial Job’ dropdown

Apply and Ok.

The view will show us the past execution.​​ 

We can see pictorial view of chained jobs

View Fullscreen

On the left hand side, you will see ‘View Fullscreen’

Click it​​ to see the full screen view

Go back

Click ‘Edit View’

Enable start of new pipeline build

Check the checkbox ‘Enable start of new pipeline build’

Click the help icon seen against above checkbox, notice the description

So this option will enable a run button in the view

Apply and Ok

You can now see ‘Build now’ button


Click this button to start a new pipeline.

Notice below that #2 pipeline has been triggered. The DeployJob is waiting for BuildJob to get complete

See below. The TestJob is waiting for DeployJob to get complete

See below. All the jobs and pipeline is complete

​​ 

Repeat this 2 more times so that we have 4 pipelines in total.

Notice above that you can only see last 3 runs.​​ 

To understand this, click ‘Edit View’ one more time.​​ 

Number of pipeline instances per pipeline

Notice below that ‘Number of pipeline instances per pipeline’ has 3 as default number. That’s the reason you can only see last 3 runs​​ 

So, ‘Number of pipeline instances per pipeline’ means that, by default, you can see the result of last ‘n’ runs on a single screen.

Let us change this default number to 4

Apply and Ok

You can now see the result of last 4 runs​​ 

Enable rebuild

Click ‘Edit View’​​ and select ‘Enable rebuild’. ​​ 

Apply and Ok

You can now see an icon​​ ​​ to rebuild, see below.​​ 

Many a time, you may now want to trigger a new pipeline. Instead, you may want to execute a job again in the same pipeline. This feature​​ can then be used​​ 

Let us click this rebuild​​ for #6 for DeployJob. Notice below that same pipeline is re-executed

​​ 

Total Build Time

Click ‘Edit View’ and select ‘Show total build time’ ​​ 

Apply and Ok

You can now see total build time for all the pipelines


So this is how we setup a basic delivery pipeline in jenkins.
