* A SAP Cloud Platform ABAP Environment system is available.
* This can be created manually on cloud foundry.
* In a pipeline, you can do this, for example, with the step [cloudFoundryCreateService](https://sap.github.io/jenkins-library/steps/cloudFoundryCreateService/).
* Communication Scenario [“SAP Cloud Platform ABAP Environment - Software Assembly Integration (SAP_COM_0582)“](https://help.sap.com/viewer/65de2977205c403bbc107264b8eccf4b/Cloud/en-US/26b8df5435c649aa8ea7b3688ad5bb0a.html) is setup for this system.
* E.g. a [Communication User](https://help.sap.com/viewer/65de2977205c403bbc107264b8eccf4b/Cloud/en-US/0377adea0401467f939827242c1f4014.html), a [Communication System](https://help.sap.com/viewer/65de2977205c403bbc107264b8eccf4b/Cloud/en-US/1bfe32ae08074b7186e375ab425fb114.html) and a [Communication Arrangement](https://help.sap.com/viewer/65de2977205c403bbc107264b8eccf4b/Cloud/en-US/a0771f6765f54e1c8193ad8582a32edb.html) are configured.
* This can be done manually through the respective applications on the SAP Cloud Platform ABAP Environment System,
* or through creating a service key for the system on cloud foundry with the parameters {“scenario_id”: “SAP_COM_0582", “type”: “basic”}.
* In a pipeline, you can do this, for example, with the step [cloudFoundryCreateServiceKey](https://sap.github.io/jenkins-library/steps/cloudFoundryCreateServiceKey/).
* You have following options to provide the ABAP endpoint configuration:
* The host and credentials the Cloud Platform ABAP Environment system itself. The credentials must be configured for the Communication Scenario SAP_COM_0582.
* The Cloud Foundry parameters (API endpoint, organization, space), credentials, the service instance for the ABAP service and the service key for the Communication Scenario SAP_COM_0582.
* Only provide one of those options with the respective credentials. If all values are provided, the direct communication (via host) has priority.
* The step needs information about the packages which should be assembled present in the CommonPipelineEnvironment.
* For each repository/component version it needs the name of the repository, the version, splevel, patchlevel, namespace, packagename, package type, the status of the package, and optional the predecessor commit id.
* To upload this information to the CommonPipelineEnvironment run prior to this step the steps:
* If one of the package is already in status released, the assembly for this package will not be executed.
* The Software Components for which packages are to be assembled need to be present in the system.
* This can be done manually through the respective applications on the SAP Cloud Platform ABAP Environment System.
* In a pipeline, you can do this, for example, with the step [abapEnvironmentPullGitRepo](https://sap.github.io/jenkins-library/steps/abapEnvironmentPullGitRepo/).
* The packages to be assembled need to be reserved in AAKaaS and the corresponding information needs to be present in CommonPipelineEnvironment. To do so run step [abapAddonAssemblyKitReserveNextPackages](https://sap.github.io/jenkins-library/steps/abapAddonAssemblyKitReserveNextPackages/) prior this step.
