Hi All,

Please find the correct execution steps as follows -

1.Create a credential with credential type as ‘Source Control’

2.Provide username and password of the mercurial credential at the place of username and password of credential

3.Go to the project and select SCM type as mercurial

4.Provide SCM url and SCM credential (i.e credential created with mercurial username and password)
