Uses a specified template to generate the workspace view. The name of the workspace is generated using the Workspace Name Format field. This makes it an ideal choice for Matrix builds.
- Workspace behaviour: select Template (view generated for each node) from the dropdown list.
- Character Set: sets the character set used by Jenkins when syncing files from the Perforce Helix Core Server. This should be set to none unless the workspace is connected to a Unicode enabled Helix Server.
- Template workspace: specify an existing Perforce workspace that will be used to create or update the Jenkins build workspace. If you are connected to a Helix Server, workspaces will be auto suggested as you type.
- Pin the workspace to the build host: this can usually be left unselected because the
${NODE_NAME}variable in the Workspace Name Format field does this for you. - Workspace Name Format: Jenkins slave nodes must each use a unique Perforce workspace. The format string configures the workspace name by substituting the specified variables. At least one variable must be used, but it is recommended that, as a minimum, the following variables are used:
jenkins-${NODE_NAME}-${JOB_NAME}-${EXECUTOR_NUMBER}
