How to trigger a batch file in Jenkins without waiting for batch execution results and status

Question

I have a Jenkins job which is building /packaging/ deploying .NET project. I use "Clean Before checkout" git property for each build.

Finally, I'm executing a batch file. This batch file scanning sonar Qube MSBuild, c# analysis and update the code quality results. But It is taking a long time and I don't want to increment Jenkins job's total execution time from 1 minute to 5 minutes. Developers are thinking so the deployment is taking a long time and not finished yet.

I want to run this batch file independent from the Jenkins job and don't want to see the console output in Jenkins. How could I do this without creating a new Jenkins job for each Jenkins project (upstream/downstream projects)

Answer 1

you need to use the start cmd command,for example:

start YourBatch.bat

This will open a new CMD window and Jenkins won't wait for result.

Bare in mind that if you get an exit code different than 0, it won't fail the build.
