Jenkins backup configuration and jobs

Hi there
Backup up Jenkins configuration is very simple as you will see right now.
under your $JENKINS_HOME you have several important folders.
(Assuming your Jenkins installed from RPM your JENKINS_HOME=/var/lib/jenkins)


one of these folders is jobs
if you need to backup only the configuration of your jobs without any other information such as previous builds and artifacts you can backup only config.xml file per each job.




in case you have special plugins it's better for you to backup $JENKINS_HOME/plugins folder as well.


custom nodes information can be found here : $JENKINS_HOME/nodes


these are necessary for manual backup strategy.
in case you will need to restore Jenkins you will need to install Jenkins from scratch and extract the backed up files under the correct folder structure.


better way is to look for backup plugin to integrate from your Jenkins console.
for example:
https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Backup+Plugin


enjoy

mount.nfs: backgrounding

if you face this kind of error with your remote NFS: [root@Vertica000 ~]# mount /files/application/Rremote3 mount.nfs: backgrounding "10.0.0.2:/files/application/remoteFiles" mount.nfs: mount options: "bg,hard,nointr,rsize=65536,wsize=65536,tcp,actimeo=0,vers=3,timeo=600,addr=10.0.0.2" look for the problem in the log file: cat /var/log/messages | grep mount  mount to NFS server '10.0.0.2' failed: timed out, retrying Solution: In most of the cases, you have a problem with your iptables in the destination server login as root to dest server (10.0.0.2) in my case and type this command: iptables --flush  the go back to your origin server to try remount the problematic NFS file system of course this is in case nfs server was installed and functioning properly. Good luck.

ora-65035 while create pluggable database from another one

or : ORA-21000: error number argument to raise_application_error of -65035 is out of range Cause: this error caused because of an unrecoverable transaction in the source DB. Solution: 1. either stop and start your pluggable source DB 2. identify the open transaction and kill it if you can. use this query to do so: select * from v$transaction t,v$session  s where t.ses_addr = s.saddr;
