P4TICKET variable use with Jenkins

[Raj-4]

Hi,

I dont want to set the P4PASSWD in jobs instead i want to P4TICKET variable which is set to $HOME/.p4tickets should be used all the time. So i provide only USERNAME/PORT in job configuration.

But i am getting error such as below; (Jenkins is setup in windows)

P4TICKET is interpreted by p4 as the actual value of the ticket (which is a hex string). The variable you are looking for is called "P4TICKETS".

My understanding is that P4TICKET doesn't point to a file, but instead, is defined as the ticket value itself, a 32 char hex string. No?

 

[Rob Petti-2]

Exactly. P4TICKETS is the variable that should be set to the location
of the ticket file, not P4TICKET.
