help Jenkins Parameterized Trigger Plugin FAQ

What does the Jenkins Parameterized Trigger plugin actually trigger?

It lets a completed Jenkins build trigger one or more downstream projects, with conditions based on the upstream build result. Each trigger can pass predefined properties, current-build parameters, a properties file, or revision information. [Jenkins plugin documentation](https://plugins.jenkins.io/parameterized-trigger)

How do I pass a parameter such as ABC=123 to a downstream Jenkins job?

The downstream job must define the incoming parameter under This project is parameterized; if job1 passes ABC=123, job2 needs a parameter named ABC. Without that definition, the handoff can fail or use an unexpected default. [Jenkins plugin documentation](https://plugins.jenkins.io/parameterized-trigger)

Can the Parameterized Trigger plugin wait for the downstream build to finish?

Yes, when configured as a build step, it can block until triggered builds finish so later steps can inspect their results. It exposes variables such as LAST_TRIGGERED_JOB_NAME and TRIGGERED_BUILD_NUMBER_<project name>. [Jenkins plugin documentation](https://plugins.jenkins.io/parameterized-trigger)

Can this Jenkins plugin trigger a job on another Jenkins controller?

The Parameterized Trigger plugin is intended for downstream projects on the same Jenkins controller. For a different Jenkins server, Jenkins provides the separate Parameterized Remote Trigger plugin, which uses the remote buildWithParameters endpoint.
