how to make common steps with variables

Question

Is it possible to configure multiple build plans that triggered to one deployment plan match using variables or parameters rather than triggering one build plan and one deployment plan?

I want to configure bamboo like below

AS-IS

3 build plans --> 3 deployment plan

a build , artifact name : aaa.war --> a deployment directory : /apps/a/aaa.war
b build , artifact name : bbb.war --> b deployment directory : /apps/b/bbb.war

c build , artifact name : ccc.war --> c deployment directory : /apps/c/ccc.war

TO-BE

3 build plans  --> only one deployment plan
using variabes in a build / var=a , artifact_name=aaa.war
using variabes in b build / var=b , artifact_name=bbb.war

using variabes in c build / var=c , artifact_name=ccc.war

deployment plan
${artifact_name} --> ${var} deployment directory : /apps/${var}/${artifact_name}

Thank you for your help.

I'm not sure that this is possible at the moment.  if you look at:

https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Answers-Developer-Questions/Bamboo-parent-build-passing-variables-to-dependent-child/qaq-p/530264

It references an open feature request for the functionality you are looking for:

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BAM-3175

Sorry I can't be of more help on that one.

Thank you for your help . i really appreciate your help

I have another question

How can I trigger variable values??

for example , I defined  artifact_name=test.war in plan A (or plan configuration --> variables tab)

I don't know how to get this value in plan D and deployment plan

Thank you for your kind reply

It's actually Core functionality within the build plan itself.  On plans A, B and C configure the plans and go to the "Dependencies" tab.  There you can specify a "Child Plan", which actually means a plan you would like to automatically trigger once the current one passes successfully.

At that point any time plan A, B or C runs, it will automatically run plan D to get the latest artifacts from those plans.

I hope that helps!
