Jenkins Grouping

137 Views Asked by At

We're planning a migration from AnthillPro to another build system. As of right now, we're checking the option of migrating to Jenkins.
We have a lot of different Products, and each Product has it's own repository and it's own builds for every branch.

In AnthillPro, There are several layers:
Folders -> Projects -> Worfklows -> Jobs -> Steps

In Jenkins I so far only came across:
Views -> Jobs -> Steps

Is there a way to group the Views?
Or are there any methods to group the different components?

How would you implement the structure of:
Product -> Branch -> Builds

If each product have several branches, and on in each branch you need to run several type of jobs.

Currently you need to install some plugins to achieve this.

I would recommend the Team Views Plugin - it allows you to group jobs together and we use it heavily. There is also a Categories Jobs View plugin which I have not used but looks like it could provide a second level of grouping if needed.

There is also a "Folders" plugin that allows you to create jobs inside folders or folders inside folders: https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/CloudBees+Folders+Plugin
