ReleaseOwl-BuildPipelines for SAP Cloud
As shown above,
- With build pipelines, developers can create automated MTA package from your GIT repository either scheduled or webhook or on-demand.
- After the package is created, unit tests are run for ABAP or HANA or Java code and results will be shared with the team.
- With the sonarqube integration, the developed code is subjected to compliance checks and a report is prepared on any violations to the coding standards.
- The package is then published to the artifact repository.
- A build log with all the changes part of the build will be shared with the team for audit and compliance.
Multi-stage Release Pipelines: Release Pipelines are a powerful for your release management team to deploy artifacts and collaborate with various divisions part of the release.
Multi stage deployment pipeline for SAP Cloud
As shown above,
- With Release Pipelines, teams can deploy an artifact that is built with a build pipeline into multiple SAP Cloud Environments ( Stages)
- At each stage, you can configure which environment the artifact needs to be deployed.
- For each stage, a pre-deployment step ( like an approval by a team member) and/or a post-deployment step ( like a sanity test sign-off or some declarative changes that needs to be done) can be configured.
- After deployment, automated tests can be run on the SAP cloud environment to provide the feedback on quality of the MTA artifact deployed.
