tmsExport¶
This step allows you to export an MTA file (multi-target application archive) and multiple MTA extension descriptors into a TMS (SAP Cloud Transport Management service) landscape for further TMS-controlled distribution through a TMS-configured landscape.
Description¶
This step allows you to export an MTA file (multi-target application archive) and multiple MTA extension descriptors into a TMS (SAP Cloud Transport Management service) landscape for further TMS-controlled distribution through a TMS-configured landscape. The MTA file is attached to a new transport request which is added to the import queues of the follow-on transport nodes of the specified export node.
TMS lets you manage transports between SAP Business Technology Platform accounts in Neo and Cloud Foundry, such as from DEV to TEST and PROD accounts. For more information, see official documentation of SAP Cloud Transport Management service
Prerequisites
- You have subscribed to and set up TMS, as described in Initial Setup, which includes the configuration of your transport landscape.
- A corresponding service key has been created, as described in Set Up the Environment to Transport Content Archives directly in an Application. This service key (JSON) must be stored as a secret text within the Jenkins secure store or provided as value of serviceKey parameter.
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.
