Setting Up the Jenkins Server

The Siebel Test Execution process is performed on the Jenkins server using the custom plugin designed for this process. The following procedure describes how to install and set up the Jenkins server.

To install and set up the Jenkins server

  1. Navigate to Jenkins webpage.

  2. In the LTS release section, download a Windows package, for Jenkins version that is compatible with DISA's Java version.

  3. The Jenkins zip file will be downloaded.

  4. Refer to Installing Jenkins, https://www.jenkins.io/doc/book/installing/.

  5. Extract the Jenkins.msi file from the zip file.

  6. Double click the .msi file to launch the Jenkins installer and follow the instructions to complete the installation.

  7. Click Finish.

    Jenkins will be launched in your default browser.

  8. After completing the installation, copy the Administrator password from the following path.

    c:\Users\intbuild\.jenkins\secrets\initialAdminPassword
  9. Click Skip Plugin Installations.

  10. Click Save and Finish.

    The Jenkins setup is ready.

  11. Click Start to use Jenkins.

    The following welcome message appears: “Welcome to Jenkins!” Your Jenkins server is up and running.

Once the Jenkins setup is done, the Jenkins application will be launched by default on port 8080. However, if some other application is already running on this port, then you must change the port number in the jenkins.xml file.

For example, if the installed location of Jenkins is C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins\, then change the port number to 8090 (it could be any port number) in the xml file and restart the Jenkins server.

You can start or stop the Jenkins server using the Windows service running, for example, by the name 'Jenkins'.
