Deploy and connect the commerce mock application to the Kyma runtime.

You will learn

  • How to create a namespace in Kyma runtime
  • How to deploy the Kyma Mock application, which includes a Kyma APIRule to expose the API to the internet

Prerequisites

The Kyma Mock application contains lightweight substitutes for SAP applications to ease the development and testing of extension and integration scenarios based on Varkes. Together with SAP Cloud Platform, Kyma runtime, it allows for efficient implementation of application extensions without the need to access the real SAP applications during development.

Step 1: Explore the Git repository

The mocking applications can be found at:

https://github.com/SAP-samples/xf-application-mocks

Within the repo you will find each of the mock applications and their deployment files within the respective folder. The process outlined in the tutorial will be the same for each, but will focus on configuring the commerce mock.

Step 2: Apply resources to Kyma runtime
View Full Instructions

  1. Start by creating the namespace dev if it doesn’t already exist.

    kubectl create namespace dev

  2. Apply the Deployment of the mock application to the dev namespace:

    kubectl apply -n dev -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SAP-samples/xf-application-mocks/master/commerce-mock/deployment/k8s.yaml

  3. Apply the APIRule which will expose the mock application to the internet:

    kubectl apply -n dev -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SAP-samples/xf-application-mocks/master/commerce-mock/deployment/xf.yaml

Step 3: Open commerce mock application
View Full Instructions

  1. During the process of applying the APIRule a Virtual Service will be created which exposes the API to the internet. The APIRules can be viewed within the Kyma console within the dev namespace under the menu option Configuration > APIRules, which will display the associated Host value. We can do the same using kubectl by running the command:

    kubectl get virtualservice -n dev

    This command should result in a table similar to the one below showing the HOST value.

    NAME GATEWAYS HOSTS AGE
    commerce-mock-jzcnn [kyma-gateway.kyma-system.svc.cluster.local] [commerce.*******.kyma.shoot.live.k8s-hana.ondemand.com] 91d

  2. Open the mock application in the browser using the HOST value https://commerce.*******.kyma.shoot.live.k8s-hana.ondemand.com.

Step 4: Create system

In this step we will create a system in the SAP Cloud Platform which will be used to pair the mock application to the Kyma runtime.

  1. Open your global SAP Cloud Platform account and choose the menu option System Landscape > Systems.

  2. Choose the option Register System, provide the name commerce-mock, set the type to SAP Commerce Cloud and then choose Register.

    Pairing Step 2

  3. Copy the Token value and close the window. This value will expire in five minutes and will be needed in a subsequent step.

    Pairing Step 3

Step 5: Create formation

In this step we will create a Formation. A Formation is used to connect one or more Systems created in the SAP Cloud Platform to a runtime.

  1. Within your global SAP Cloud Platform account, choose the menu option System Landscape > Formations. Choose the option Create Formation.

  2. Provide a Name, choose your Subaccount where the Kyma runtime is enabled, choose the commerce-mock system and finally choose Create.

Step 6: Pair an application

  1. Navigate back to the mock application and choose Connect. Paste the copied value in the token text area and then choose Connect. If the token has expired you may receive an error. Simply return to [Step 4: ](Creating a System) and generate a new token.

    Pairing Step 4

  2. Choose Register All to register the APIs and Events from the mock application.

    Pairing Step 5

Step 7: Verify setup

  1. In the Kyma home workspace choose Integration > Applications.

  2. Choose the application mp-commerce-mock by clicking on the name value shown in the list.

After choosing the system you should now see a listing of the APIs and Events the mock application is exposing.
