SFDC CI deployment with Jenkins

Here we explain the use of Jenkins and ANT migration tool to do retrieve and deployment

Use case:

We have 2 orgs:

1. org11
2. org12

• Developer adds a field Category__c in org12
• This is retrieved into git by ANT Migration

$ ant -f build-book.xml retrieve-org12

<target name="retrieve-org12">
    <echo message=" --- retrieve-org12 ---"/>
    <sf:retrieve username="${sf.mohan.dev12.username}"
                 password="${sf.mohan.dev12.password}"
                 serverurl="${sf.mohan.dev12.serverurl}"
                 maxPoll="${sf.maxPoll}"
                 retrieveTarget="${sf.src.dir}/${data_folder}"
                 unpackaged="${sf.src.dir}/unpackaged/package.xml"/>
</target>

• Jenkins CI tool wakes up by SCM Commit and find this change and deploys this change into org11

Jenkins uses this task:

<target name="deploy-org11">
    <echo message=" --- deploy-org11 ---"/>
    <sf:deploy   username="${sf.mohan.dev11.username}"
                 password="${sf.mohan.dev11.password}"
                 serverurl="${sf.mohan.dev11.serverurl}"
                 deployroot="${sf.src.dir}/${data_folder}"/>
</target>
