A couple of thoughts:

• You do not specify which video you are following.
• /opt is not a suitable location for CI/CD activity. By convention it is reserved for optional software packages, typically (but not limited to) from commercial vendors. A better place would be somewhere in var and by default that is where Jenkins puts things (/var/lib/jenkins if I remember correctly). The easiest and in my view also cleanest approach is to stay with Jenkins’ defaults.

In terms of narrowing things down, I would recommend to run the ant command manually from a normal shell. If it works there, that will tell you that it something in the setup of Jenkins as opposed to some broader issue.

Good luck!

Hi Jahn,

I am following Demo: Continuous Integration with webMethods.

Demo: Continuous Integration with webMethods (youtube.com)

I installed ABE in the server.
I installed Jenkins in Node1, and my IS (ABE & deployer) server installed in Nod2. I configured agent node in Jenkins (agent Node2).
I am running Jenkins job in slave node.

Here I see ABE installed in the IS server and also, I see that /common/lib/ant/bin/ant directory available in my node2 server.
