Correct Daniel. I just boiled an example down to one parameter of interest. In job 1, I defined a variable named VALUE_FROM_JOB_1 In the job, via Powershell, I created a parameters file, with the following content:
VALUE_FROM_JOB_1="I-was-defined-in-job-1" In Job 2, I defined the parameter VALUE_FROM_JOB_1 and set its value to "unknown". When I run Job 1--which triggers Job 2--, Here's what I get from Job 2: $ cmd /c call C:\Users\ROCBUI~1\AppData\Local\Temp\hudson4898377112420378449.bat ERROR: Build step failed with exceptionjava.lang.IllegalArgumentException <http://stacktrace.jenkins-ci.org/search?query=java.lang.IllegalArgumentException>: Invalid environment variable name: "??VALUE_FROM_JOB_1" at java.lang.ProcessEnvironment.validateName(Unknown Source) at java.lang.ProcessEnvironment.put(Unknown Source) In some of the test jobs I've set up, the variable(s) being passed simple retain the default value I gave them in job 2 (i.e., there are no complaints from Java, but the value passed from Job#1 was not taken on in job 2). I hope you have some ideas. Thanks for your help. Steve K.
