Hello Venkatraman,

Thanks for the quick reply.

1. You should check the "This build is parametrized" box for the
downstream (Sanity testing) job. Then the parameters for these jobs
should be defined (preferably with some sane defaults)


The value would be defined at the end of the execution of the build steps.
How to assign such a value from the upstream job ? I can see the name of the predefined parameter defined in the upstream job
as part of the environment variable in the downstream job but I am not able to access the value variable ?
currently in the upstream job if TEST_HWPACK_NAME  is the predefined variable how to access this in the downstream job ?
I tried using $TEST_HWPACK_NAME but I don't the value that is assigned to that variable.

2. Select the "Trigger parametrized build on other projects" in the
upstream job.
 You can assign some default parameters, or, convert a parameter (or
the environment variable) of the current job into the parameters of
the downstream job.

See the attached screenshot for hints..

Hope this helps..

Venkat.


Thanks and Regards,
Deepti.
