nwabap-ui5uploader

This module allows a developer to upload SAPUI5/OpenUI5 sources into a SAP NetWeaver ABAP system. The behavior is (or should be) the same than it is known from the SAP Web IDE app deployment option "Deploy to SAPUI5 ABAP Repository" or from the "SAPUI5 ABAP Repository Team Provider" available for Eclipse via the "UI Development Toolkit for HTML5". The main reason for developing this module is to integrate the deployment process into a Continuous Integration environment, in which for instance a Jenkins server executes several build steps and finally deploys the sources to a SAP NetWeaver ABAP system if all previous build steps are ok. The plugin also allows a developer to deploy the sources to a SAP NetWeaver ABAP system by a npm script using a different IDE than Eclipse or SAP Web IDE (for instance WebStorm).

Based on grunt-nwabap-ui5uploader package

This module is based on the original grunt plugin. Though I didn't like the need of gulp or grunt in my projects purely for CI/CD.

Prerequisites

ABAP Development Tool Services

The ABAP Development Tool Services have to be activated on the SAP NetWeaver ABAP System (transaction SICF, path /sap/bc/adt). The user used for uploading the sources needs to have the authorization to use the ADT Services and to create/modify BSP applications. The plugin is tested with NW 7.30, NW 7.40 and NW 7.50 systems.

Install

Add it to your local project and use npx to run the binary using a npx-prefix (as of npm 5.2.0):

npm install nwabap-ui5uploader --save-dev

Or just install globally and skip the npx-prefix in the examples below:

npm install -g nwabap-ui5uploader

Usage

This node module describes itself on the command line. Use your favorite CI/CD configuration to call this module.

npx nwabap --help

npx nwabap upload --help

Configuration

Option	Default	Description
conn_server		SAP host
conn_user		SAP user
conn_client		Optional parameter to specify the client (transferred as sap-client URL parameter). In case the option is not specified the default client is used if specified.
conn_usestrictssl	true	SSL mode handling. In case of self signed certificates the useStrictSSL mode option can be set to false to allow an upload of files.
base		Base dir
files	**	Files to upload (relative from basedir)
abap_transport		ABAP transport no.
abap_package		ABAP package name
abap_bsp		ABAP BSP container ID
abap_bsp_text		ABAP BSP container name
abap_language	EN	ABAP language
calcappindex	false	Re-calculate application index
git_diff_commit		Optional git commit, branch or reference to compare current state with. Will only upload files that were somehow changed (added, modified or deleted) since specified state.
git_diff_unstaged	false	Include unstaged files in git diff.
preserve_unselected	false	Don't delete files from BSP container, that were not selected to upload. Useful when using git_diff_commit option to keep unchanged files untouched.
nwabaprc		If set, specifies a different path for a ./.nwabaprc file

.nwabaprc

It is possible to use a configuration file. If this file exists in the project root, this tool will automatically discover it. Create a .nwabaprc file in your package root, i.e.:

{
    "base": "./dist",
    "conn_server": "http://myserver:8000",
    "conn_user": "upload",
    "conn_password": "upl04d",
    "abap_package": "$TMP",
    "abap_bsp": "ZZ_UI5_LOCAL",
    "abap_bsp_text": "UI5 upload local objects"
}

NOTE: command line arguments are ordered to be mapped after the configuration file. This means that the command line arguments override individual configuration file attributes.

Examples

Upload to $TMP package

npx nwabap upload --base ./dist --conn_server http://myserver:8000 --conn_user upload --conn_password upl04d --abap_package $TMP --abap_bsp ZZ_UI5_LOCAL --abap_bsp_text "UI5 upload local objects"

Upload to a transport tracked package

npx nwabap upload --base ./dist --conn_server http://myserver:8000 --conn_user upload --conn_password upl04d --abap_package ZFRONTENDS_TEST --abap_bsp ZABSHR --abap_bsp_text "Absence HR" --abap_transport PRDNK1230120032

Use package.json script

"scripts": {
    "upload": "npx nwabap upload"
}

Different .nwabaprc location/file

npx nwabap upload ... --nwabaprc ./config/.nwabaprc2

Contribute

My actual goal is to remove all unnecessary code and libs, except console coloring libs since I find these really helpful. I would also like to rewrite the libs used (filestore and filestoreutils). Please, and feel free to help me anytime on the project's GitHub.
