  3. Hi Huu,
    Your post helped me a lot! Could you please help me with the below scenario?
    I want to pass a boolean parameter in the parameterized pipeline. I tried using this
    40 17 * * * % FULLBUILD=true
    this didn’t work and the default value is false.

    1. May be an extra space after “%” sign?
      String like “5 4 * * * %PARAM=true” works for me.

  4. Hi Huu,
    Im already installed “Parameterized Scheduler” plugin and restart jenkins
    But Build periodically with parameters is not show on Build Triggers
    On Plugin Manager “Parameterized Scheduler” shown installed as well
    Please help me

  5. How can i set equal sign in as part of the value, for example when doing the next string, i’m getting not valid entry
    Chunk [USER_PARAMETERS=’AUTO_SPLIT_TESTS=a’] is not a valid entry

  6. Hi Huu ,

    I am facing issue
    “You can only use one percent sign to separate the cron from the parameters.”
    On providing a parameter with percentage(%) sign in corn Jenkins give error message “You can only use one percent sign to separate the cron from the parameters.”
    EX: 15 30 * * * % PLIST=https://cloud.abc.com/s3wsapi/config/live%CitrusCollege
