Azure DevOps Server 2019 - Continuous Deployment only if Pull Request Completes - azure-devops

I have a CI / CD Pipeline configured in Azure DevOps Server 2019.
As soon as a pull request is created a new artifact triggers a release which deploys to the development server even if the pull request is not accepted. How can I restrict the release to server to only when pull request is completed.

From you release definition, you can filter the continuous integration to only run for some branches (only your main branch for instance). You will find more information about how to configure it in the Azure DevOps documentation

Azure DevOps see included commits in build

we are using Azure Pipelines to build and deploy various projects. We are using Enterprise Github service connection as our git repository source which we are using as part of the build pipelines that are running on on-prem AzureDevops build agent. We are then using on-prem hosted DevOps agents to deploy the service on our on-prem servers.
If we trigger a build we then receive an email notification about all the new commits which are included in the build. Is the same information (what commits are part of the build) included somewhere in the Azure DevOps UI? I was not able to find it and it's really difficult to then determine what I'm actually deploying our various environments as I'm not always the one who triggers each build.
Thanks

trigger azure devops pipeline server from bitbucket server with different branch

using azure devops server 2020
i have the following issue:
i want to trigger azure devops pipeline every time a pull request is opened on any source branch in bitbucket (both azure devops and bitbucket are on-prem servers).
i've managed to trigger a pipeline from bitbucket using bitbucket webhooks, but it triggers the pipeline with the default repo/branch that is conigured - and PRs can be opened on any branch.
I moved to postman to see if i can add a body with some other branch name,
but it doesn't work.
Thank you for the help.

How to trigger Azure DevOps pipeline when pushing commits to bitbucket custom server?

My company's repository hosted on bitbucket custom server which can be only accessed from intranet.
Therefore, I setup a self-host agent for Azure DevOps and this agent could do a git pull and build and release too.
It works and the problem is I have to manually click RUN pipeline to start, and somehow when I pushing commits to my bitbucket custom server it doesn't trigger the Azure DevOps to kick off a build or release.
Is there some other options I could let it automatically triggers the Azure pipeline to run? Webhooks or Hooks?
I afraid Azure devops pipeline cannot be automatically triggered from a bitbucket custom server. For azure devops server cannot communicate to the bitbucket server hosted in your intranet.
Webhooks or Hooks cannot trigger a build in azure devops pipeline either. Azure devops doesnot have this feature yet. There is an open issue about this.
Currently you might have to trigger your pipeline manually, or create an azure function as mentioned in above link to trigger your pipeline automatically.
Below are some documents about azure function you may find helpful:

Creating Connection Bitbucket with AzureDevOps

I have a bitbucket repository.
I want pipelines in AzureDevops to build sources when i make a pull request in Bitbucket.
I set up PR trigger in yaml files.
But it did not work when i made a pull request.
I tried to run the pipeline manually, it worked and succeeded.
I guess, bitbucket could not send a message to azure when pull requests are made.
How to set up connection Bitbucket with AzureDevOps?
Integration between BitBucket Cloud and Azure Pipelines:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/repos/bitbucket?view=azure-devops&tabs=yaml
You can specify the target branches when validating your pull requests. For example, to validate pull requests that target master and releases/*, you can use the following pr trigger.
pr:
- master
- releases/*
This configuration starts a new run the first time a new pull request is created, and after every update made to the pull request.

Azure Devops Pull Request and Jenkins behind corporate network

I'm trying to figure out how can I connect my Jenkins Build server to the Azure DevOps Pull Request. My Jenkins Server is behind a corporate firewall, I don't have any way to have access to this server outside of the corporate network.
Due to the corporate network rules I cannot add a hook in Azure to call my Jenkins server, but my server can have access to the Microsoft Azure web site.
I tried to run the VSTS Agent with success on my Linux Jenkins server. It works, but It doesn't do what I would need to do. I don't want to change all my build process to build my application inside this Agent. I really want to be able to launch a Jenkins Pipeline build from my server and forward the build result to the Azure DevOps.
I cannot use the Jenkins VM provided by Azure DevOps, because my Jenkins build process has to run some regression test tool on real hardware unit in our lab to flag the build as a success.
So in other word:
1- I cannot use the VSTS agent because I need to use my Jenkins Build Server
2- I cannot use the Jenkins VM provided by Azure DevOps because I need to have access to real Hardware Unite
3- I think I cannot instrument my Jenkins to see if we have a new Pull Request branch, because I will not be able to send the Jenkins build result to the Microsoft Azure DeveOps server.
Anybody had to do something like that?
Any reading to suggest?
Thanks!
Since one-way communication is going to be possible (from Jenkins to Azure DevOps), you'll have to do the following:
Set up your Jenkins pipeline to periodically poll Azure DevOps for new PR branches and build PRs
Set up a branch policy for approval from external services
Have Jenkins post the build status back to the external service API so that Azure DevOps knows whether the build has succeeded or failed
