Summary

Modifies an existing step.
projectName
Stringrequired
The name for the project that must be unique among all projects.
procedureName
Stringrequired
Name for the procedure; must be unique within the project.
stepName
Stringrequired
Name of the step; must be unique within the procedure.
actualParameters
Mapoptional
Actual parameters passed to an invoked subprocedure.
afterProcedureStep
Stringoptional
If specified, the procedure step will be placed after the named procedure step.
alwaysRun
Booleanoptional
True means this step will run even if preceding steps fail in a way that aborts the job.
beforeProcedureStep
Stringoptional
If specified, the procedure step will be placed before the named procedure step.
broadcast
Booleanoptional
True means replicate this step to execute (in parallel) on each of the specified resources (that is, for a pool, run the step on each of the resources in the pool).
clearActualParameters
Booleanoptional
If true, the step should remove all actual parameters.
command
Stringoptional
Script to execute the functions of this step; passed to the step's shell for execution.
comment
Stringoptional
Script to execute the functions of this step; passed to the step's shell for execution.
condition
Stringoptional
A fixed text or text embedding property references that is evaluated into a logical TRUE or FALSE. An empty string, a 0 or false is interpreted as FALSE. Any other result string is interpreted as TRUE.
credentialName
Stringoptional
The name of the credential object.
description
Stringoptional
Comment text describing this object that is not interpreted at all by CloudBees CD/RO.
errorHandling
Stringoptional
Specifies error handling for this step.
Possible values: "abortJob", "abortJobNow", "abortProcedure", "abortProcedureNow", "failProcedure", "ignore", "retryOnError"
exclusive
Booleanoptional
True means the resource acquired for this step will be retained for the exclusive use of this job. This means 2 things: first, no other job will be able to use that resource, regardless of its step limit, until this job completes; second, future steps for this job will use the resource in preference to other resources, if this resource meets the needs of the steps and its step limit is not exceeded.
exclusiveMode
Stringoptional
Determines the mode to use when the step acquires a resource. If set to none, then the default behavior for the step applies. If set to job, then the resource will be retained for the exclusive use of this job. If set to step, then the resource will be retained for the exclusive use of this step and procedure it may call. If set to call, then the resource will be retained for the exclusive use of all steps within the current procedure call.
Possible values: "none", "job", "step", "call"
logFileName
Stringoptional
Name of the log file for a step; specified relative to the root directory in the job's workspace.
newName
Stringoptional
The new name for an existing object that is being renamed.
parallel
Booleanoptional
True means this step and all adjacent steps with the flag set will run in parallel.
postProcessor
Stringoptional
This command runs in parallel with the main command for the step; it analyzes the log for the step and collects diagnostic information.
precondition
Stringoptional
A fixed text or text embedding property references that is evaluated into a logical TRUE or FALSE. An empty string, a 0 or false is interpreted as FALSE. Any other result string is interpreted as TRUE.
releaseExclusive
Booleanoptional
True means the resource acquired for this step will be no longer be retained for the exclusive use of this job when this step completes.
releaseMode
Stringoptional
Determines the mode to use when the step releases its resource. If set to none, the default behavior applies. If set to release, then the resource will be available for use by any job. If set to releaseToJob, then the resource will be available for use by any step in this job.
Possible values: "none", "release", "releaseToJob"
resourceName
Stringoptional
Name for the resource; must be unique among all resources.
shell
Stringoptional
Name of the shell program that will execute the command and postprocessor for the step.
subprocedure
Stringoptional
Name of a procedure to invoke during this step.
subproject
Stringoptional
Name of the project containing the procedure to invoke during this step.
timeLimit
Stringoptional
Maximum amount of time the step can execute; abort if it exceeds this time.
timeLimitUnits
Stringoptional
Units for step time limit: seconds, minutes, or hours.
Possible values: "hours", "minutes", "seconds"
workingDirectory
Stringoptional
Working directory in which to execute the command for this step. A relative name is interpreted relative to the root directory for the job's workspace.
workspaceName
Stringoptional
The name of the workspace.
