Prerequisites

This tutorial follows the guidance provided in the SAP BTP Developer’s Guide.

  • Step 1
    • Make sure you’re logged in to your Kyma cluster. See Login to your Kyma cluster for detailed steps how to log in.

    • Make sure you’re logged in to your container registry.

    • If you’re using any device with a non-x86 processor (for example, MacBook M1/M2), you need to instruct Docker to use x86 images by setting the DOCKER_DEFAULT_PLATFORM environment variable using the command export DOCKER_DEFAULT_PLATFORM=linux/amd64. Check Environment variables for more info.

    1. In VS Code, open the package.json file and add the [production] profile credentials (destination and path) to the settings for API_BUSINESS_PARTNER:

      json
      Copy
        "API_BUSINESS_PARTNER": {
          "kind": "odata", 
          "model": "srv/external/API_BUSINESS_PARTNER", 
          "[production]": { 
            "credentials": { 
              "destination": "<destination_name>",
              "path": "odata/v2/api-business-partner"
            }
          }
        }
      

      Replace with the name of the destination that you created at Step 5: Create a destination to the mock server of Install a Mock Server in the SAP BTP, Kyma Runtime.

    2. Create the productive CAP build for your application:

      bash
      Copy
      cds build --production
      

      The CAP build writes to the gen/srv folder.

    3. Build a new version of the CAP Node.js image:

      bash
      Copy
      pack build <your-container-registry>/incident-management-srv:<new-image-version> \
          --path gen/srv \
          --builder paketobuildpacks/builder-jammy-base \
          --publish
      
      • Make sure to replace <your-container-registry> with your docker server URL.

      • Keep in mind that <new-image-version> is a string that’s different from the string defined in Deploy in SAP BTP, Kyma Runtime to reflect the changes in the Incident Management app.

      Looking for your docker server URL?

      The docker server URL is the same as the path used for docker login, so you can quickly check it by running the following command in your terminal:

      json
      Copy
      cat ~/.docker/config.json
      

      In case you’re using Docker Hub as your container registry, replace the placeholder <your-container-registry> with your Docker Hub user ID.

      The pack CLI builds the image that contains the build result in the gen/srv folder and the required npm packages by using the Cloud Native Buildpack for Node.JS provided by Paketo.

    4. In the VS Code terminal, navigate to the ui-resources folder and run the following command:

      bash
      Copy
      npm install && npm run package
      

      This command builds and copies the archive nsincidents.zip inside the ui-resources/resources folder.

    5. In the VS Code terminal, navigate back to the root folder of your project:

      bash
      Copy
      cd ..
      
    6. Build the UI deployer image:

      bash
      Copy
      pack build <your-container-registry>/incident-management-html5-deployer:<image-version> \
          --path ui-resources \
          --builder paketobuildpacks/builder-jammy-base \
          --publish
      
      • Make sure to replace <your-container-registry> with the link to your container registry and keep in mind that <image-version> is a string.

      • Keep in mind that <new-image-version> is a string that’s different from the string defined in Deploy in SAP BTP, Kyma Runtime to reflect the changes in the Incident Management app.

      Looking for your docker server URL?

      The docker server URL is the same as the path used for docker login, so you can quickly check it by running the following command in your terminal:

      json
      Copy
      cat ~/.docker/config.json
      

      In case you’re using Docker Hub as your container registry, replace the placeholder <your-container-registry> with your Docker Hub user ID.

    Since the database image is unchanged, you don’t need to build it again.

  • Step 2
    1. Check your container image settings to your chart/values.yaml file:

      yaml
      Copy
      global:
        domain: 
        imagePullSecret:
          name: 
        image:
          registry: <your-container-registry>
          tag: <image-version>
      

      Make sure to replace <your-container-registry> with the link to your container registry and keep in mind that <image version> is a string.

    2. Overwrite the global image version for the CAP Node.js image and for the UI deployer image:

      yaml
      Copy
      srv:
        image:
          repository: incident-management-srv
          tag: <new-image-version>
      ...
      html5-apps-deployer:
        ...
        image:
          repository: "incident-management-html5-deployer"
          tag: <new-image-version>
      
    3. Update the productive CAP build for your application:

      bash
      Copy
      cds build --production
      
    4. Make sure that your SAP HANA Cloud instance is running. Free tier HANA instances are stopped overnight.

      Your SAP HANA Cloud service instance is automatically stopped overnight, according to the time zone of the region where the server is located. That means you need to restart your instance every day before you start working with it.

      You can either use the SAP BTP cockpit or the terminal in the SAP Business Application Studio to restart the stopped instance:

      bash
      Copy
      cf update-service incident-management -c '{"data":{"serviceStopped":false}}'
      
    5. Deploy using the Helm command:

      bash
      Copy
      helm upgrade --install incident-management --namespace incident-management ./gen/chart \
      --set-file xsuaa.jsonParameters=xs-security.json
      

      This command installs the Helm chart with the release name incident-management in the namespace incident-management.

    Where in the SAP BTP cockpit can you find the API endpoint for logging in to your SAP BTP subaccount?

  • Step 3

    When creating new entries in the Incident Management application, you see all values from the mock server in the value help of the Customer field.

    Before you continue with this step, don’t forget to perform the steps from the tutorials Assign the User Roles and Integrate Your Application Deployed in SAP BTP, Kyma Runtime with SAP Build Work Zone, Standard Edition.

    1. Open your SAP Build Work Zone, standard edition site as described in Integrate Your Application Deployed in SAP BTP, Kyma Runtime with SAP Build Work Zone, Standard Edition.

    2. Choose the Incident Management tile.

    3. Choose Create to start creating a new incident.

      Create a new incident
    4. Open the value help for the Customer field.

      Value help for Customer field
    5. Verify that customer data is fetched from the mock server.

    Congratulations! You have successfully developed, configured, and deployed the Incident Management application using an external service and a mock server.
