Jenkins - Running instances of single build concurrently

Question

I\'d like to be able to run several builds of the same Jenkins job simultaneously.

Example:

1. Build [*jenkins_job_1*]: calls an ant script with parameter

Answer 1

Jenkins has a check box: "Execute concurrent builds if necessary"

If you check this, then it'll start multiple builds for a job.

This works with the "This build is parameterized" checkbox.

You would still trigger the builds, passing your A or B as parameters. You can use another job to trigger them or you could do it manually via a script.
