How to configure SCM polling?

To configure SCM (Source Code Management) polling, you typically follow these steps, which may vary slightly depending on the specific SCM tool and CI/CD system you are using (like Jenkins, GitLab CI, etc.):

For Jenkins:

1. Open Your Jenkins Job:

   • Go to your Jenkins dashboard and select the job you want to configure.

2. Configure the Job:

   • Click on "Configure" in the left sidebar.

3. Source Code Management Section:

   • In the "Source Code Management" section, select your SCM (e.g., Git).

4. Polling Settings:

   • Scroll down to the "Build Triggers" section.
   • Check the box for "Poll SCM".
   • In the schedule field, enter a cron-like syntax to specify how often Jenkins should poll the SCM. For example, H/5 * * * * will poll every 5 minutes.

5. Save Configuration:

   • Click "Save" to apply the changes.

For GitLab CI:

1. Open Your Project:

   • Go to your GitLab project.

2. Settings:

   • Navigate to "Settings" > "CI / CD".

3. Expand the "General pipelines" Section:

   • Look for the "Pipelines" settings.

4. Configure Polling:

   • GitLab CI does not have a direct polling feature like Jenkins, but you can set up webhooks to trigger pipelines on SCM events (like pushes).

5. Save Changes:

   • Ensure to save any changes made.

Notes:

• Make sure your SCM credentials are correctly configured in your CI/CD tool.
• Test the polling configuration to ensure it works as expected.
