I don't believe that such a data element exists. In Jenkins, the project name is the key for everything.
----- Original Message ----- From: jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com To: jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com At: Jul 23 2013 13:09:50 Hello, Does any one know of a place or a field in Jenkins that is static and unique for each project in the projects list in Jenkins? Is there a plugin out there that would give me a unique identifier for the project? The project name itself is not unique due to the fact that if you rename the job all of the data about the job is renamed without and effictively leaves no trace of the old project name (that I know of). When that happens my database plugin (that I am almost finished developing) starts over as if it is a new job. I'd like to continue trending the info with the new name. For example - I have a table full of the API/XML for ProjectX When I rename ProjectX to ProjectY Jenkins see's that ProjectX no longer exists and renames the entire job. If I am keeping a history of all of the API/XML and a job is renamed then I lost track of the history. What I would need is something like - Project# 1234 ProjectName ProjectX Build# 45 Then when it is renamecd Project# 1234 ProjectName ProjectY Build# 45 I'm currently scraping the data off of of this URL to grab project information http://<JenkinsServer>/view/All/cc.xml -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Users" group.
