How can I run the first job with a parameter so that when it triggers the second job, the same pa

I faced the same issue when I had to pass a pom version to a downstream Rundeck job.

What I did, was using parameters injection via a properties file as such:

1) Creating properties in properties file via shell :

Build actions:

• Execute a shell script
• Inject environment variables

E.g : properties definition

2) Passing defined properties to the downstream job : Post Build Actions :

• Trigger parameterized build on other project
• Add parameters : Current build parameters
• Add parameters : predefined parameters

E.g : properties sending

3) It was then possible to use $POM_VERSION as such in the downstream Rundeck job.

/!\ Jenkins Version : 1.636

/!\ For some reason when creating the triggered build, it was necessary to add the option 'Current build parameters' to pass the properties.
