* `script` - The common script environment of the Jenkinsfile running. Typically the reference to the script calling the pipeline step is provided with the `this` parameter, as in `script: this`. This allows the function to access the [`commonPipelineEnvironment`](commonPipelineEnvironment.md) for retrieving, for example, configuration parameters.
* `changeDocumentId` - The id of the change document related to the transport request to release.
* `transportRequestId` - The id of the transport request to release.
* `credentialsId` - The credentials to connect to the Solution Manager.
* `endpoint` - The address of the Solution Manager.
* `gitFrom` - The starting point for retrieving the change document id
* `gitTo` - The end point for retrieving the change document id
* `gitChangeDocumentLabel` - A pattern used for identifying lines holding the change document id.
* `gitTransportReqeustLabel` - A pattern used for identifying lines holding the transport request id.
* `gitFormat` - Specifies what part of the commit is scanned. By default the body of the commit message is scanned.


## Step configuration
The following parameters can also be specified as step parameters using the global configuration file:

* `credentialsId`
* `endpoint`

## Return value
None.

## Exceptions
* `AbortException`:
    * If the change id is not provided.
    * If the transport request id is not provided.
    * If the release of the transport request fails.

## Example
```groovy
transportRequestRelease script:this, changeDocumentId: '001', transportRequestId: '001'
```
