There are a couple different ways I would do this but the simplest would be to have a single job that triggers automatically whose primary function is to trigger all the jobs you want running in parallel as downstream of itself.
Another way would be to have this "trigger" job make use of the MultiJob Plugin, in which case you can pretty easily stage the execution of multiple sets of parallel jobs. The advantage of this plugin, even if you don't want to separate your parallel job runs into multiple stages is that the success of the job doing the triggering can depend on the success of the triggered jobs, so you have one job's status to check for overall success/failure. However, I am still learning about the Pipeline (aka Workflow) Plugin and there may very well be a better way to express the parallel behavior you are looking for using it. The misleadingly-named "parallel" keyword is probably not it though... Here's an example of how it works: https://github.com/jenkinsci/pipeline-examples/blob/master/pipeline-examples/parallel-from-list/parallelFromList.groovy#L27 You might be able to use this in combination with the pipeline-build-step step: https://jenkins.io/doc/pipeline/steps/pipeline-build-step/#build-build-a-job On Friday, July 15, 2016 at 9:19:50 AM UTC-7, Pedda Reddy wrote: > > I have 'n' no. of jobs, which I want to start simultaneously.
