Change/Extend the PTC Jenkins Plugin to return the Checkpoint ID as string for an explicit Checkpoint Operation.

Change/Extend the PTC Jenkins Plugin to return the Checkpoint ID as string for an explicit Checkpoint Operation.

The use case is follows:

Assuming you have two separate SI projects you want to use in your pipeline.

Both shall be checkpointed before checking them out into different directories in the workspace.

For better performance this is done in parallel.

The Checkpoint IDs shall be used for some later processings in the pipeline (e.g. stored in a "build result item")

How can I fetch the newly created checkpoint numbers?

The old plugin wrote the newly created checkpoint number into the "MKSSI_BUILD" environment variable, but there is only one variable per process.
