Invoking Jenkins job through CA DevTest

[anehrumohan]

In our project, we are using CVS monitor component of DevTest to monitor live service and send email notification whenever the live service goes down. Now, we would like to trigger a selenium script (smoke test) through Jenkins whenever the live service goes down. Is there a way to invoke Jenkins job through CA DevTest CVS Monitor service?

Hi,

 

Jenkins has an API to start a job, and you can call that API from a REST Step inside your CVS testcase. Have you tried that?

 

Cheers,

Danny

Hi Aravinth,

There are couple of options for you.
1. You can invoke jenkins via API call from the devtest (Http(s) call)
2. You can invoke the jenkins via Curl based calls (via external command)

Thanks
