Hi nmrao,

Thank you very much for your answer and your remarks, I have already done the existence test for the testRunner. We use floating licenses so it's a little hard to check their availability. Regarding the last remark, could you give me a little more details on how to do that? And is it possible to block access to a license if it is already being used ?

Thank you again
Best regards
Mohamed

#3, Use the below plugin for Jenkins and call your host:post to see 200 OK as part of per-requisite step before invoking actual build.

"is it possible to block access to a license if it is already being used " - As there is no way to check automatically, so need not worry. If build is scheduled your evening hours (most of the employees would be left by then and license would be free), you should be good.

    nmrao, thank you a lot! 

     

    Hi yahiatene , did you have a chance to try out the Jenkins plugin that nmrao is suggesting here? Please let us know whether it helped your cause.

      nmrao sonya_m, thank you and sorry for the delay.
      In my case the company's licence server is not easily accessible with an HTTP request from a jenkins job and even if I do that successfully, it just returns that the server is available and it didn't check if the licences are available. I'm trying another solution which consists on parsing the jenkins console output of SoaupUIPro pipeline to know if we get the right messages or not, hoping it will work !

      Regards,
      Mohamed.

        Thanks for the update!

        Have you already consulted with the Support Team in this question? I think it's worth talking with them as well - perhaps, they can suggest a solution.
