Summary
Before Bamboo is backed up, the build queue has to be empty so that it doesn't cause any data inconsistency.
Solution
Use the cURL command to check the build queue endpoint before performing any backup:
1
curl -u <ADMIN_USERNAME>:<PASSWORD> <BAMBOO_URL>/build/admin/ajax/getDashboardSummary.actionSample outputs:
1
{"status":"OK","builds":[],"agentSummary":" 1 online agent "}1
{"status":"OK","builds":[{"status":"QUEUED","messageType":"ERROR","messageText":"No agent can build this job.","hasReadPermission":true,"hasBuildPermission":true,"itemType":"BUILD","resultKey":"BSP49354-TES-JOB1-2","buildResultKey":"BSP49354-TES-JOB1-2","planResultKey":"BSP49354-TES-2","planKey":"BSP49354-TES","jobKey":"BSP49354-TES-JOB1","projectName":"BSP-49354","chainName":"testasufh","jobName":"Default Job","planName":"BSP-49354 - testasufh","buildNumber":2,"isBranch":false,"triggerReason":"Manual run by admin","queueIndex":1}],"agentSummary":"No agents online"}Was this helpful?
