Bamboo's concurrent builds feature allows you to run more than one build of a single Plan concurrently on multiple agents. This is extremely useful if a Plan's build triggers are likely to fire in a shorter period of time than what Bamboo requires to complete running the Plan's builds.
You can configure a default value for the maximum number of builds of a Plan that your Bamboo server can run concurrently, via the Bamboo administration console. This value is a default – it can be overridden in a Plan's configuration.
To configure the default maximum number of concurrent builds of a Plan allowed by Bamboo:
- Click the 'Administration' link in the top navigation bar.
- Click the 'Concurrent Builds' link in the left navigation column under the 'Plans' subheading. The Concurrent Builds page is displayed.
The maximum number of builds of a Plan that Bamboo will run concurrently by default, is displayed next to Default number of concurrent builds allowed. - Click the 'Edit' button.
- In the Default number of concurrent builds allowed field, enter the default maximum number of builds of a Plan that Bamboo can run concurrently on different agents. Be aware that this value can be overridden in a Plan's configuration.
- Click the 'Save' button to save your changes.
