during orchestration tool setup.
Version 1.18:
- Automatically configure GitLab webhooks during orchestration tool setup.

credentials.
- Jenkins integration
- Use scripted or declarative code in your Jenkins pipeline. Parallel and sub stages
are supported. Configure multibranch change control in a DevOps
pipeline step to create change requests for multiple branches. CloudBees Jenkins
Folders plugin is also supported for discovering and getting notifications from
Jenkins jobs in folders.
Version 1.13: Automatically discover Jenkins pipelines
during orchestration tool setup.
Version 1.19:
Automatically create pipeline steps for enabled Jenkins pipelines.
Version 1.20: In the Pipeline UI, view Jenkins pipelines without showing stages that have been skipped due to
branch conditions.
Version 1.24: Set change request
fields and closure behavior when creating the change from a Jenkins
pipeline.
Version 1.29:
- The Jenkins plugin for ServiceNowDevOps is provided to enable change acceleration so your
orchestration tool can communicate with ServiceNowDevOps and control certain aspects of pipeline executions. Starting
with DevOps version 1.29, the plugin is available in the Jenkins Marketplace.
- Starting from the Jenkins plugin for ServiceNowDevOps version 1.29, you can set
the level of detail that your log messages capture. For more information, see
Jenkins log levels and Log
Recorders.
- Reduce pipeline info REST API calls from Jenkins to ServiceNowDevOps. For more information, see
Reduce pipeline info calls
from Jenkins to ServiceNow DevOps
-
Enhanced data resiliency using
DevOps retry policy
