# Exercise 2
|
|
|
|
In this exercise, you will create a new freestyle job and configure it to build with parameters. You'll also have a look at the Jenkins home directory to inspect the directory structure representing the job.

|
## Defining, Configuring and Organizing a Job
|
|
|
|
1. From the dashboard, click the "New Item" button.
|
|
2. Enter the item name `my-freestyle-job` and select "Freestyle project". Press the "OK" button.
|
|
3. In the job configuration, define the option to only keep the last 2 builds. Provide the description "A simple freestyle job". Upon building the project, a String parameter named `MESSAGE` should be provided. Press the "Save" button.
|
|
4. Trigger a new build by pressing the "Build with Parameters" button. Enter a value for the `MESSAGE` parameter. The build should finish successfully. Locate the provided parameter value in the build information.
|
|
5. Run the build two more times. What do you see?
|
|
6. Create a new view named `test`. Add the job to the view.
|
|
7. Create a new folder named `freestyle` as part of the view. Move the job into the folder.
|
|
8. Locate the build information in `$JENKINS_HOME`. Inspect the directory structure. |
