this is not as simple as it sounds. first off a disclaimer CloudBees (my employer) as a proprietary feature that does this.
the reason it is not simple is each job type may have special folders. then you have builds which again may have artifacts may have special files etc etc... trust me there is a lot of edge cases. if you can simplify things (if the source has builds the destination will have the same builds) then you can do some tricks copying in the same Jenkins instance. firstly the job structure is *normally* job/name so you can recursively copy the folder job/foldername. to job/dest/job/folder name then you need to tell the parent it has a new child by loading the XML https://javadoc.jenkins.io/jenkins/model/ModifiableTopLevelItemGroup.html#createProjectFromXML-java.lang.String-java.io.InputStream- alternatively you can copy the jobs recursively https://javadoc.jenkins.io/jenkins/model/ModifiableTopLevelItemGroup.html#copy-T-java.lang.String- or you could become a customer of cloudbees :) you could possibly also somehow use jobDSL with the seed jobs (but I have never used that) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Users" group.
