transportRequestRelease

Description

Releases a Transport Request.

Note: This step is deprecated.

Prerequisites

• No prerequisites

Parameters

name	mandatory	default	possible values
changeDocumentId	yes
changeManagement/clientOpts	no	``
changeManagement/credentialsId	no	CM
changeManagement/endpoint	yes
changeManagement/git/format	no	%b	see git log --help
changeManagement/git/from	no	origin/master
changeManagement/git/to	no	HEAD
changeManagement/rfc/developmentClient	yes
changeManagement/rfc/developmentInstance	yes
script	yes
transportRequestId	yes
verbose	no	false

• changeDocumentId - The id of the change document to that the transport request is bound to. Typically this value is provided via commit message in the commit history. Only for SOLMAN.
• changeManagement/clientOpts - Additional options for cm command line client, e.g. JAVA_OPTS.
• changeManagement/credentialsId - The id of the credentials to connect to the Solution Manager. The credentials needs to be maintained on Jenkins.
• changeManagement/endpoint - The service endpoint, e.g. Solution Manager, ABAP System.
• changeManagement/git/format - Specifies what part of the commit is scanned. By default the body of the commit message is scanned.
• changeManagement/git/from - The starting point for retrieving the change document id.
• changeManagement/git/to - The end point for retrieving the change document id.
• changeManagement/rfc/developmentClient - AS ABAP client number. Only for RFC.
• changeManagement/rfc/developmentInstance - AS ABAP instance number. Only for RFC.
• script - 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.
• transportRequestId - The id of the transport request to release.
• verbose - Provides additional details. Only for RFC.

Step configuration

We recommend to define values of step parameters via config.yml file.

In following sections of the config.yml the configuration is possible:

parameter	general	step/stage
changeDocumentId
changeManagement/clientOpts		X
changeManagement/credentialsId		X
changeManagement/endpoint		X
changeManagement/git/format		X
changeManagement/git/from		X
changeManagement/git/to		X
changeManagement/rfc/developmentClient		X
changeManagement/rfc/developmentInstance		X
script
transportRequestId
verbose

Dependencies

The step depends on the following Jenkins plugins

• badge
• credentials-binding
• docker
• kubernetes
• pipeline-utility-steps
• workflow-basic-steps
• workflow-cps-global-lib
• workflow-durable-task-step

The kubernetes plugin is only used if running in a kubernetes environment. Transitive dependencies are omitted.

The list might be incomplete.

Consider using the ppiper/jenkins-master docker image. This images comes with preinstalled plugins.

The step is configured using a customer configuration file provided as resource in an custom shared library.

@Library('piper-lib-os@master') _

// the shared lib containing the additional configuration
// needs to be configured in Jenkins
@Library('foo@master') __

// inside the shared lib denoted by 'foo' the additional configuration file
// needs to be located under 'resources' ('resoures/myConfig.yml')
prepareDefaultValues script: this,
                             customDefaults: 'myConfig.yml'

Example content of 'resources/myConfig.yml' in branch 'master' of the repository denoted by 'foo':

general:
  changeManagement:
    changeDocumentLabel: 'ChangeDocument\s?:'
    cmClientOpts: '-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=<path to truststore>'
    credentialsId: 'CM'
    type: 'SOLMAN'
    endpoint: 'https://example.org/cm'
    git:
      from: 'HEAD~1'
      to: 'HEAD'
      format: '%b'

The properties configured in section 'general/changeManagement' are shared between all change management related steps.

The properties can also be configured on a per-step basis:

  [...]
  steps:
    transportRequestRelease:
      changeManagement:
        type: 'SOLMAN'
        endpoint: 'https://example.org/cm'
        [...]

The parameters can also be provided when the step is invoked. For examples see below.

Exceptions

• IllegalArgumentException:
• If the change id is not provided (SOLMAN only)
• If the transport request id is not provided.
• AbortException:
• If the release of the transport request fails.

Example

// SOLMAN
transportRequestRelease script:this,
                        changeDocumentId: '001',
                        transportRequestId: '001',
                        changeManagement: [
                          type: 'SOLMAN'
                          endpoint: 'https://example.org/cm'
                        ]
// CTS
transportRequestRelease script:this,
                        transportRequestId: '001',
                        changeManagement: [
                          type: 'CTS'
                          endpoint: 'https://example.org/cm'
                        ]
