Hi,

I am trying to set our jenkins server to trigger a deployment to our QA environment after a successful build. I have tower-cli installed but cant seem to pass the build number for tower to use. We have the build number defined in the extra\_vars on our tower server as a yaml format as follows:

app\_db\_url: “mysql://\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*:q\*\*\*\*\*\*\*@q_**[1-db------p.net](http://1-db------p.net)**_”  
app\_mode: prod  
jenkins\_app\_buildnumber: 67  
jenkins\_app\_job\_name: qudini-deployable-qa  
jenkins\_securesocial\_buildnumber: 4  
jenkins\_securesocial\_job\_name: securesocial-deployable  
newrelic\_app\_name: QudiniAppQA

All of the configuration can stay the same but I want to pass the current build number to set jenkins\_app\_buildnumber.

How would i go about this?

Thanks  
Fraser
