Condition for Configure a Jenkins Job to Automatically Trigger Another Job After a Successful Build

Description:
This task helps you to create a Jenkins job that automatically triggers another job after it completes. You will create Job A, which initiates the build, and Job B, which runs automatically after Job A succeeds. This demonstrates how Jenkins enables chained automation and multi-stage pipelines by connecting jobs based on build results.

Steps

Step 1 — Create Job B (Triggered Job)
Description: Create the job that will be executed automatically by another job.
Go to Jenkins Dashboard
Click New Item
Enter name: Job-B
Select Freestyle project → OK
Scroll to Build → Add build step → Execute shell
Paste:
```
echo "This is Job B... Triggered by Job A!"
```
Click Save
Step 2 — Create Job A (Triggering Job)
Description: Create the job that initiates the process and triggers Job B.
Click New Item
Enter name: Job-A
Select Freestyle project → OK
Add build step → Execute shell
Paste:
```
echo "This is Job A... I will trigger Job B next."
```
Step 3 — Add Post-Build Trigger in Job A
Description: Configure Job A to trigger Job B after successful execution.
In Job A settings → Scroll to Post-build Actions
Click Add post-build action
Select Build other projects
Step 4 — Configure the Trigger
Description: Specify which job should run and when.
In Projects to build → enter: Job-B
Under Trigger only if build succeeds select:
Trigger only if build is stable (recommended)
Click Save
Step 5 — Run Job A and Verify the Trigger
Description: Test the configuration and ensure Job B runs automatically.
Open Job A
Click Build Now
View Console Output of Job A → should show:
Triggering Job-B
Go to Job B → Build History → verify the build was started by Job A.
