Jenkins Pipeline - Can we run a job outside of jenkins pipeline?

Question

I am using jenkins pipeline and my Jenkinsfile has several stages and jobs. Is there any way to run specific job outside of jenkins pipeline ?

Example: Let's say one of the stage is to do "scp build artifacts to remote location". For some reason this got failed and if at all I want to run rest of the jobs manually out of jenkins pipeline, how can I do that ?

I am least interested to invoke a new build. So can we run remaining jobs after failure outside of jenkins pipeline manually ?

You may be able to do it by writing unit test cases to your Jenkinsfile and test them as a maven project. This may or may not solve your problem without looking at your entire problem but if you can reorganize your logic to achieve 100% test coverage then it is doable.
