Get Started with an SAP Fiori Project in SAP Continuous Integration and Delivery

Enable SAP Continuous Integration and Delivery, assign yourself the administrator role for it, and access the service.

1. In your subaccount in the SAP BTP cockpit, choose

   
   Services → Service Marketplace.

2. In the Extension Suite – Development Efficiency category, choose Continuous Integration & Delivery.

3. In the detail view of SAP Continuous Integration and Delivery, choose Create.

4. In the New Instance or Subscription pop-up, select the following values from the drop-down lists:

   Parameter	Value
   Service	Continuous Integration & Delivery
   Plan	Depending on whether you use a trial account or an enterprise account, either choose trial – Subscription (trial) or default - Subscription (enterprise)

5. Choose Create.

6. From the navigation pane, choose

   
   Security → Trust Configuration.

   If you use an enterprise account, you need to be a User & Role Administrator of your subaccount to view the

   

   Security section. See Managing Subaccounts Using the Cockpit.

7. Choose the name of your identity provider.

8. Enter your e-mail address.

9. Choose Show Assignments.

10. Choose Assign Role Collection.

11. From the dropdown list, select CICD Service Administrator and confirm your choice with Assign Role Collection.

12. Navigate back to your subaccount overview and from the navigation pane, choose Service Marketplace.

13. In the Extension Suite – Development Efficiency category, choose Continuous Integration & Delivery.

14. Choose

    
    (Actions) → Go to Application.

Connect SAP Continuous Integration and Delivery with the repository in which your sources reside.

1. In the Repositories tab in SAP Continuous Integration and Delivery, choose + (Add).

2. In the Add Repository pop-up, add a name for your repository.

   We recommend using a name that refers to the actual repository in your source code management system.

3. In GitHub, copy the HTTPS clone URL of your repository and paste it into the Clone URL field in the Add Repository pop-up in SAP Continuous Integration and Delivery.

4. As your repository isn’t private and your source code management system isn’t hosted in an internal network, leave both the Credentials field and the Cloud Connector field empty.

5. To receive events from your source code management system through webhooks for triggering builds, you need a webhook event receiver.

   In the Webhook Event Receiver section of the Add Repository pop-up, make sure that as Type, GitHub is selected.

6. For Webhook Credential, choose < GENERATE > and make sure that the State is set to ON.

7. Choose Add.

Configure a webhook between your GitHub repository and SAP Continuous Integration and Delivery to automate the builds of your job.

A webhook with GitHub allows you to automate SAP Cloud Platform Continuous Integration and Delivery builds: Whenever you push changes to your GitHub repository, a webhook push event is sent to the service to trigger a build of the connected job.

The following graphic illustrates this flow:

1. In the Repositories tab in SAP Continuous Integration and Delivery, choose the repository that you’ve just added.

2. In the detail view of your repository, choose Webhook Data

   As a result, the Webhook Data pop-up opens. This pop-up provides the information you need to create a webhook in GitHub.

3. In your project in GitHub, go to the Settings tab.

4. From the navigation pane, choose Webhooks.

5. Choose Add webhook.

6. Enter the Payload URL, Content type, and Secret from the Webhook Data pop-up in SAP Continuous Integration and Delivery. For all other settings, leave the default values.

   

7. Choose Add webhook.

Configure a basic job for SAP Fiori projects in the Cloud Foundry environment.

1. In SAP Continuous Integration and Delivery, go to the Jobs tab and choose + (Create job).

2. In the General Information section of the Create Job pane, enter the following values:

   Parameter	Value
   Job Name	Freely choose a unique name for your job. We recommend using a name that contains both your GitHub project name and branch.
   Repository	From the drop-down list, choose your repository.
   Branch	Enter the branch of your repository for which you want to configure your CI/CD job.
   Pipeline	From the drop-down list, choose SAP Fiori in the Cloud Foundry environment.
   Version	If you create a new job, the latest version is selected by default.
   State	To enable your job, choose ON.

3. In the Build Retention section, enter the following values:

   Parameter	Value
   Keep logs for	Enter the time after which your builds are automatically deleted. Choose a range between 1 and 28 days.
   Keep maximum	Enter the maximum number of builds you want to keep. If your number of builds exceeds this maximum, the oldest ones are deleted automatically. Choose a range between 1 and 99 builds.

4. In the Stages section, choose Job Editor as Configuration Mode.

5. For the Build stage, enter a name for your application.

6. Switch all other stages off and choose OK.

   As this tutorial focuses on how to get started with SAP Continuous Integration and Delivery, we’ve decided to configure only a very basic CI/CD pipeline in it. For how to configure more elaborate ones, see Supported Pipelines.

7. To trigger your CI/CD pipeline, create and commit a code change in your GitHub project.

   As a result, a build of the connected job is triggered and a new build tile appears in the Builds section of your job. If you choose it, the Build Stages view opens and you can watch the individual stages of your build run through.
