I have a setup up a master and slave on the same machine. The master monitors External Jobs the slave runs a batch script and notifies the master about the same.
I followed the Windows instructions from:
https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Monitoring+external+jobs
and setup a buld step on the slave as follows:
set JENKINS_HOME=http://localhost:8080/jenkins/
java -jar C:\apache-tomcat-7.0.56\webapps\jenkins\WEB-INF\lib\jenkins-core-1.624.jar "POC_Main_Ext_Job" jenkins_poc_test_1
On building the slave job, I get the following error message in the console output:
Building remotely on MySlave in workspace D:\Temp\Jenkins\workspace\Slave_FreeStyle_1
[Slave_FreeStyle_1] $ cmd /c call C:\Users\ROHIT~1.BIS\AppData\Local\Temp\hudson853358493293228093.bat

http://localhost:8080/jenkins/job/POC_Main_Ext_Job/ is not a valid external job (404 Not Found)
D:\Temp\Jenkins\workspace\Slave_FreeStyle_1>exit -1

Finished: FAILURE
However, the above url does work in Jenkins and takes to the corresponding job. Any Idea what I'm doing wrong?
