Poll SCM using Jenkins not working


Balu Pillai (1314) | asked Jun 20 '19, 11:47 a.m.

 Hi dear all, 


I have been trying to setup a job that polls the SCM (Jazz) and automatically run when a change is detected in the repository. I have enabled the "Poll SCM" option in Jenkins (@ every 5 mins) and I can see that Jenkins is trying to poll (from the logs), but it comes back saying no change detected which is not true.

I am trying to figure out why? My workspace is configured to follow the required streams I am interested in and Jenkins is configured with the Team Concert Plug in. Am I missing something? Please advise.

Is your Jenkins job configured to use a Build Workspace? If so can you confirm if the Build Workspace is used just in this particular Jenkins job and not in any other jobs/ Build Definition?

Hi Sridevi, 


Thanks for your suggestion. I have managed to get it working, it was a configuration error - my bad. Jenkins was running out of heap space at the server (all of a sudden), so RTC checkout/polling was not working as I expected it to. I understand this is not directly related to the topic, but for anyone who comes across this problem: 

- I used Java melody plug in to profile and have increased the memory now in the Jenkins.xml file from a default value of 256MB to something higher.

 See https://jazz.net/library/article/92827 and see https://jazz.net/library/ and type Jenkins into the search field. Should that not be enough, consider to provide information about how you configured the Jenkins Job.
