property

CloudBees CD/RO

A property is a name-value pair associated with CloudBees CD/RO objects to provide additional information beyond what is already built into the system. Built-in data is accessible through the property mechanism also. Two types of properties: intrinsic and custom . CloudBees CD/RO provides Intrinsic properties and allows you to create Custom properties.

Intrinsic properties are case-sensitive. Custom properties, like all other object names in the CloudBees CD/RO system, are case-preserving, but not case-sensitive.

  • Intrinsic properties These properties represent attributes that describe the object to which they are attached, and are automatically added by CloudBees CD/RO for each similar type object. For example, every project has a Description property that can be referenced with a non-local property path such as /projects/Examples/description.

  • Custom properties Custom properties are identical to intrinsic properties and when placed on the same object, are referenced in the same manner, and behave in every way like an intrinsic object-level property with one exception: they are not created automatically when the object is created. Instead, custom properties can be added to objects already in the database before a job is started, or created dynamically by procedure steps during step execution.
