Functions For Automation In Jenkins
Here you will see some of the features of Jenkins to your Jobs automated in Jenkins, like, Poll SCM, Build Periodically, and Web Hooks as follows:
Poll SCM: It Stands for The Poll Source Code Management, where the provided source code ffrom the user is being always getting revised for multiple times in a sequence or an interval of particular specified minutes. Lets say, you have have made a change in the Github repository and have made a Poll SCM trigger then the code from the repository will get fetched and the chnages that are donw in the code will be taken in account and will get imposed by the Poll SCM. After then it will start the build if any other changes are made or it will again check continuously for the source code change in the repository.
WebHooks: This type of feature is mainly one which is being focused over the traditional means but with a bit of automation. In here, lets say you have a git push requestin repository, then you will be notified with the third party API by a notification with the deatils for the new change in repository and then you will tale the manual decision for the Job/ Task.
Build Periodically: Basically, Build Periodically is a bit different from Poll SCM and Web Hooks. In Build Periodically the Build gets executed on the pre-defined schedule by the user. It does’nt matter if there is any change in the Git Repository, regardless of that the build will be triggered for the particular job with the scheduled time. As this feature also consumes more of the resources even if there are no changes made in the code, which may lead to non-required builds.
