abapAddonAssemblyKitCheckCVs

This step checks the validity of ABAP Software Component Versions.

Description

This steps takes the list of ABAP Software Component Versions(repositories) from the addonDescriptor configuration file specified via addonDescriptorFileName (e.g. addon.yml) and checks by calling AAKaaS whether they exist or are a valid successor of an existing Software Component Version. It resolves the dotted version string into version, support package level and patch level and writes it to the addonDescriptor structure in the Piper commonPipelineEnvironment for usage of subsequent pipeline steps.
For Terminology refer to the Scenario Description.

Usage

We recommend to define values of step parameters via .pipeline/config.yml file.
In this case, calling the step is essentially reduced to defining the step name.
Calling the step can be done either in an orchestrator specific way (e.g. via a Jenkins library step) or on the command line.

Outputs

Output type Details
commonPipelineEnvironment
  • abap/addonDescriptor

Prerequisites

  • The credentials to access the AAKaaS (Technical Communication User) must be stored in the Jenkins Credential Store
  • The step needs an addon.yml containing information about the Product Version and corresponding Software Component Versions/Repositories

A detailed description of all prerequisites of the scenario and how to configure them can be found in the Scenario Description.

script

Jenkins-specific: Used for proper environment setup.

The common script environment of the Jenkinsfile running. Typically the reference to the script calling the pipeline step is provided with the this parameter, as in script: this. This allows the function to access the commonPipelineEnvironment for retrieving, e.g. configuration parameters.

Examples

Configuration in the config.yml

The recommended way to configure your pipeline is via the config.yml file. In this case, calling the step in the Jenkinsfile is reduced to one line:

abapAddonAssemblyKitCheckPV script: this

If the step is to be configured individually the config.yml should look like this:

steps:
  abapAddonAssemblyKitCheckCVs:
    abapAddonAssemblyKitCredentialsId: 'abapAddonAssemblyKitCredentialsId',
    addonDescriptorFileName: 'addon.yml'

More convenient ways of configuration (e.g. on stage level) are described in the respective scenario/pipeline documentation.
