Streams Workspace

Uses a specified template to generate the workspace view. The name of the workspace is generated using the Workspace Name Format field. This makes it an ideal choice for Matrix builds. Template Workspace Configuration

  1. Workspace behaviour: select Streams (view generated by Perforce for each node) from the dropdown list.
  2. Character Set: sets the character set used by Jenkins when syncing files from the Perforce Helix Core Server. This should be set to none unless the workspace is connected to a Unicode enabled Helix Server.
  3. Stream Codeline: specify the full Perforce depot path for the stream that will be used to create or update the Jenkins build workspace. If you are connected to a Helix Server, streams will be auto suggested as you type.
  4. Stream at change: when specified, the client view is generated from the stream specification version at or before the change number.
  5. Workspace Name Format: Jenkins slave nodes must each use a unique Perforce workspace. The format string configures the workspace name by substituting the specified variables. At least one variable must be used, but it is recommended that, as a minimum, the following variables are used: 
    jenkins-${NODE_NAME}-${JOB_NAME}-${EXECUTOR_NUMBER}
