All I know about Abinitio is what I got in five minutes of web searching, so I can't help you much there. Wikipedia says that Abinitio graphs compile down into Korn shell scripts or Windows Batch files, either of which Jenkins can run out of the box. You can set Jenkins to poll your source control system every few minutes, and run builds when somebody checks in a change.
If you need Jenkins to compile Abinitio, I don't know how to do that-if there is a command-line tool that will do that, Jenkins can run it. If you need to test Abinitio graphs after you compile them, you'll have to write or otherwise get a test harness for it in such a way that it produces "test passed" and "test failed" strings that Jenkins can parse. Jenkins is not a test harness itself, but it can run them. I don't know Cloudbees' support pricing structure, but I do know that it depends on the number of executors that you set up on your Jenkins server. Very roughly speaking, an executor is the ability to do one thing at a time, so if you need to run ten builds at once, you need ten executors. But I wouldn't worry about Cloudbees support until you try the free version out. Download a copy of jenkins.war, run "java -jar Jenkins.war", and it'll show up on port 8080 on the machine you run it on. Point a browser at it and start playing. In short: if you need to automate running a test harness, Jenkins can help you. If you need a test harness, Jenkins doesn't provide that. Figure out your test harness some other way, and then Jenkins can run that for you.

Do you know some information/docs which can explain the procedure to work with Abnitio. Also what exactly the Cloudbees cost.

The procurement cost of Jenkins is zero. Just go to http://www.jenkins-ci.org and download. Cloudbees will sell you an enterprise edition with extra plugins and a support contract, or sell you a service where you run Jenkins on their cloud. I'd start with the free copy to see if it even meets your needs, then consider the possibility of going to Cloudbees (Truth in advertising: my company just bought their enterprise edition for the support contract). I have found nothing that specifically connects Jenkins to Ab Inito, Jenkins can run with a bunch of different tools because it supports running tasks as Windows batch scripts or Unix shell scripts. This is how it connects to all but a few general development tools. While Jenkins is useful for automating running of tests, I don't think that it directly supports the sorts of tests that you show below. There are plugins to read *Unit style logs, or to read certain patterns (such as "TEST PASSED" or "TEST FAILED") as pass/fail criteria, but doesn't have the logic to compare results. Basically, you would have to write the tests yourself, generate simple pass-or-fail strings, and have Jenkins parse the logs for those pass-or-fail strings. The nice thing about Jenkins is that it will do so unattended, either on a schedule or whenever you submit a change to your source control system. --Rob From: jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com<mailto:jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com> [mailto:jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com<mailto:jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com>] On Behalf Of avineet Sent: Friday, April 26, 2013 6:05 AM To: jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com<mailto:jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com> Subject: Questions on Jenkin Hi, We wanted to implement Jenkin in our project which require some kind of automation tool which support testing around Abnitio. I have heard that Jenkin works with Abnitio,Could you please confirm me the same. What would be the Procurement cost of the product. Also,I drafted few high level cases which we want the tool should support.Could anyone please have a look and let me know if these cases works with Jenkin.
