In reply to pirey. It depends on how do you normally run your job – if you use a parameter in a job with the prioritization, you may just pass the value from the upstream job or in any other way. :)

I’m assuming that you only cover the configuration part, but how do I update the priority itself?
Suppose I have lots of queue running, and I want a particular job to be prioritize, do I have to manually trigger the job with low priority value on the JobPriority parameter?

In reply to Tomek.

Unfortunately, I don’t know if there’s another option – I’ve been using this plugin since the beginning and it works even for nested jobs and folder. Are you sure that you have a properly configured plugin? I have only one group (“All jobs” included) and default priority is set to 3 (exactly like on the screenshots) and it works perfectly. Do you use a lower number to set a higher priority? Because lower number == higher priority.

Did you try to add multiple jobs to the queue (veeeery long jobs, maybe some test jobs with sleep in bash script) and see what’s going with the jobs in the queue (and if they start as expected or not) when you set 1 priority and 5 priority (assuming that you created five degrees)?

Hi, is there any other option or plugin that need to be set?
In my case it doesn’t work. I tried also “Jobs and folders marked for inclusion”.
The result is alwasy the same – FIFO.
