# mtaBuild
## Description
Executes the SAP MTA Archive Builder to create an mtar archive of the application.
## Prerequisites
* **SAP MTA Archive Builder** - available for download on the SAP Marketplace.
* **Java 8 or higher** - necessary to run the `mta.jar` file.
* **NodeJS installed** - the MTA Builder uses `npm` to download node module dependencies such as `grunt`.
## Parameters
| parameter | mandatory | default | possible values |
| -----------------|-----------|-----------------------------------|--------------------|
| `script` | yes | | |
| `buildTarget` | yes | | 'CF', 'NEO', 'XSA' |
| `mtaJarLocation` | no | | |
* `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.
* `buildTarget` - The target platform to which the mtar can be deployed.
* `mtaJarLocation` - The path of the `mta.jar` file. If no parameter is provided, the path is retrieved from the Jenkins environment variables using `env.MTA_JAR_LOCATION`. If the Jenkins environment variable is not set it is assumed that `mta.jar` is located in the current working directory.
## Return value
The file name of the resulting archive is returned with this step. The file name is extracted from the key `ID` defined in `mta.yaml`.
## Side effects
1. The file name of the resulting archive is written to the `commonPipelineEnvironment` with variable name `mtarFileName`.
## Exceptions
* `AbortException`:
* If there is an invalid `buildTarget`.
* If there is no key `ID` inside the `mta.yaml` file.
## Example
```groovy
def mtarFileName
dir('/path/to/FioriApp'){
mtarFileName = mtaBuild script:this, buildTarget: 'NEO'
}
```
