This article will explain how to run the Blackbaud Move Donation Reports job in Jenkins.
Purpose
The purpose of this job is to move the donation reports for the past month, stored on the Blackbaud FTP server to the Advancement Information Services SharePoint site, so they are available the the campus.
How to Run the Job
To run the job log into Jenkins here. Note: You must be on campus or connected to the campus VPN in order to access that web page. Once there, log in using your MyRedDragon credentials and follow these steps:
- Navigate to the job named “Blackbaud Move Donation Reports”.
- Click on the “Build now” icon on the left-hand side of the job window.
The job will run and should take 10 to 15 minutes or less to complete. In the Build History for the job (located in the bottom left of the job screen) you will see a green check mark if the job ran successfully and a red X if it did not.
If there is a failure while running the job (a red X), an e-mail will automatically be sent to the person running the job with a description of what failed. If something went wrong, the job can be rerun without worry as any files that were uploaded will be overwritten with the same information and will not cause issues.
Once the Job successfully completes, the Donation reports for the previous month will be available for viewing on SharePoint. If no files were found on the Blackbaud FTP server the job will complete successfully, but it will send an email letting the person who ran the job know about the lack of files before stopping.
