If it is a relative path (not recommended), it must be relative to the server’s working directory.

Commands Description

Aborts all running jobs.

The string value of the final expression in the script is returned as the value element of the response.

Expands property references in a string, in the current context.

Exports part or all server data to an XML file. The default is to export all data in the system—the specified path is interpreted by the server.

This command returns the most current artifact version that matches the filter criteria and its dependent artifact versions. This API implicitly searches for artifact versions in the "available" state, and if run in a jobstep, registers the step as a retriever for the returned artifact versions. Use the Perl API for the findArtifactVersions command.

Returns a list of job steps from a single job or from a single subprocedure job step. This API is used by the Job Details web page in the CloudBees CD/RO UI.

This command finds several different types of CloudBees CD/RO objects—it is the underlying mechanism used to implement the CloudBees CD/RO "Search" feature. Because of this command’s general nature and the complexity of specifying filter and sort criteria, it is not supported by ectool. Use the Perl API for the findObjects command.
