Creates a new build for the selected BuildMaster application and sets the BUILDMASTER_BUILD_NUMBER environment variable with the value returned from BuildMaster for the new build.

If your Jenkins job has produced artifacts to be loaded into BuildMaster, you have the following options. The choice is largely dependent on how you import the build artifacts into BuildMaster:

  1. Use BuildMasters Jenkins Extensions 'Jenkins::Import-Artifact' statement to import artifacts directly from Jenkins: the post build action is required
  2. Use BuildMasters 'Create-Artifact' statement to import files from a folder that you've placed the artifacts into from the Jenkins build (eg using ArtifactDeployer Plugin): either the post build or build step actions will be fine
  3. Use an external artifact repository such as Nexus, Artifactory or ProGet: either the post build or build step actions will be fine
