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

You can create a build and configure it with parameters. Click the This build is parameterized checkbox and add your desired param(s) in the Configuration of the build. You can then fire off simultaneous builds using different parameters.

Side note: The "Bulk Builder" in Jenkins might push it into a queue, but there's also a This bulk build is parameterized checkbox.
