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).
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.
If you like this port, you find it useful, it has value enough: please donate!

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.
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
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
| 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 |
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.
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"
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
"scripts": {
"upload": "npx nwabap upload"
}
npx nwabap upload ... --nwabaprc ./config/.nwabaprc2
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.
