Sridevi Sangaiah edited a comment on JENKINS-57220   Re: RTC build property names: Underscore chars "swallowed" [~bernddasbrot] The current behavior when exporting the build properties from RTC build definition to environment variables in Jenkins build is to keep only alpha-numeric characters, change '.' to '_' and ignore the rest. If the result is empty or begins with a digit then no environment variable is created for that property. This is because of the restrictions on the characters allowed in environment variable names in some operating systems as described in [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2821043/allowed-characters-in-linux-environment-variable-names|http://example.com / ]. See comment 28 in [259131: HPI: Expose RTC Build properties in the Jenkins build environment|https://jazz.net/jazz/resource/itemName/com.ibm.team.workitem.WorkItem/259131] Having said that since ' _ __ ' can be included in the name of the environment variables, if the build property name contains ' _ __ ' it should be retained. '_' in the property names being ignored is a defect in the teamconcert plugin. Though it is unlikely that there are existing builds which have _ in the property names in the build definition and ignores _ when referring to them in Jenkins build, otherwise this issue would have been reported earlier, this scenario can't be ruled out while making the fix. In the mean time would it be possible for you to use '.' in the name of the properties added in the build definition which would then be converted to _ by the teamconcert plugin when creating the corresponding environment variables in Jenkins.
