I often find the low-tech approach works. For simple bulk changes I edit the
config.xml files using the bash command line (this is Linux, obviously).
Something like this:
cd /path/to/Jenkins-home/jobs/
find -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -type d -name "jobname.pattern.of.interest* " |
sort | xargs -i --verbose sed --in-place
's#delete_materialize_on_completion=true</propertiesContent>#delete_materialize_on_completion=false\nbuckminster_result_delete=true</propertiesContent>#g'
{}/config.xml
You need to check the result carefully, of course. More complex changes could
probably be done using a simple python script.
Hope that helps

Subject: Mass Jenkins job updates
Hi,
We have many Jenkins jobs defined that were copied from a “template” Jenkins
job. Now, I discovered that I’d like to add a new build step to most (not all)
of the jobs.
There seems to be several ways to modify the jobs:
1) Brute force – Edit each job by clicking the Jenkins “Job Configure”
button for each job. (Yuck)
2) Groovy Script Console - This has the downside that I could screw up the
configurations if I have a bug in the groovy script.
3) Job DSL Plugin
4) Jenkins Enterprise Templates – Not really sure whether this can even be
done.
5) Manually edit config.xml files
6) Other???
Before investing time in coming up with a solution, I would like to know how
other people have addressed mass updates to Jenkins jobs; and what worked well
(or not so well).
Any feedback/guidance would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Bob
