abapEnvironmentCreateSystem

Creates a SAP BTP ABAP Environment system (aka Steampunk system)

Description

This step creates a SAP BTP ABAP Environment system (aka Steampunk system) via the cloud foundry command line interface (cf CLI). This can be done by providing a service manifest as a configuration file (parameter serviceManifest) or by passing the configuration values directly via the other parameters of this step.

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.

library('piper-lib-os')

abapEnvironmentCreateSystem script: this

piper abapEnvironmentCreateSystem

Prerequisites

  • On SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP), Cloud Foundry needs to be enabled on subaccount level. This can be done on the Subaccount Overview page. The subaccount is then mapped to a “Cloud Foundry Organization”, for which you must provide a suitable name during the creation. Have a look at the documentation for more details.
  • A (technical) user is required to access the SAP BTP via the cf CLI. The user needs to be a member of the global account and has to have the Space Developer role. The user and password need to be stored in the Jenkins Credentials Store.
  • Please make sure, that there are enough entitlements in the subaccount for the Service Plan, which you want to use for this step.

Example: 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:

abapEnvironmentCreateSystem script: this

The configuration values for the system can be passed through the config.yml file:

steps:
  abapEnvironmentCreateSystem:
    cfCredentialsId: 'cfCredentialsId'
    cfApiEndpoint: 'https://test.server.com'
    cfOrg: 'cfOrg'
    cfSpace: 'cfSpace'
    cfServiceInstance: 'H02_Q_system'
    cfService: 'abap'
    cfServicePlan: 'standard'
    abapSystemAdminEmail: 'user@example.com'
    abapSystemDescription: 'ABAP Environment Q System'
    abapSystemIsDevelopmentAllowed: true
    abapSystemID: 'H02'
    abapSystemSizeOfPersistence: 4
    abapSystemSizeOfRuntime: 1

Example: Configuration in the Jenkinsfile

The step, including all parameters, can also be called directly from the Jenkinsfile. In the following example, a configuration file is used.

abapEnvironmentCreateSystem (
  script: this,
  cfCredentialsId: 'cfCredentialsId',
  cfApiEndpoint: 'https://test.server.com',
  cfOrg: 'cfOrg',
  cfSpace: 'cfSpace',
  cfServiceManifest: 'manifest.yml'
)

The file manifest.yml would look like this:

---
create-services:
- name:   "H02_Q_system"
  broker: "abap"
  plan:   "standard"
  parameters: "{ \"admin_email\" : \"user@example.com\", \"description\" : \"ABAP Environment Q System\", \"is_development_allowed\" : true, \"sapsystemname\" : \"H02\", \"size_of_persistence\" : 4, \"size_of_runtime\" : 1 }"
