DevOps Pipeline - Branch & Merge (Using Jenkins & Artifactory)
My Team and I are looking to automatically trigger a build when we publish a branch to the repository(Artifactory). Due to program requirements, we will not be using the DevOps Foundation platform, instead we plan to invoke Jenkins remotely.
The Goal:
1.When publish a branch to the repository from development app, we would like to trigger our Jenkins jobs. (Conflicts/ UnitTests/ Merge)
The Problem:
1.Followed the steps in the below article, and appears there are some details missing:
The Questions:
1. Does anyone have experience with the approach in the link provided?
2. The Activity pyPostPutArtifactSuccess is not called when we 'publish to repository', it is called from the 'Artifacts' service which is marked as Legacy. Should this be called from another location?

Hi Jeff,
I have a lot of experience with this feature. I would expect it to work as described in that doc, even though the Pega type repository is deprecated. Are you certain that the user in the Authentication profile on the Repository has access to your implementation of pyPostPutArtifactSuccess?
Thanks,

I re-read what you are trying to accomplish and have another suggestion.
pyPostPutArtifactSuccess only executes when publishing to a Pega Repository, instead you should be publishing directly to Artifactory. Can you have Jenkin's watching for new files in Artifactory as a job trigger?

Hi Ryan!
-We could have Jenkins watch the new files in Artifactory when publishing
-Are you thinking we then would need to call the PegaRepository.v1.Artifacts service with Jenkins there?
Thanks,

No, there's no need to use the PegaRepository.v1.Artifacts. That's just for migrating rules from one Pega environment to another, and it's being deprecated.
It depends what you want the Jenkin's job to do once the branch has been deployed to artifactory..
- If you want to merge the branch you can use the branches service.
- If you want to import the branch to another environment you can use PRPCServiceUtils.
