Description
An efficient software development process is vital for success in building business applications on SAP Cloud Platform or SAP on-premise platforms. SAP addresses this need for efficiency with project "Piper". The goal of project "Piper" is to substantially ease setting up continuous deployment processes for the most important SAP technologies by means of Jenkins pipelines.
Project "Piper" consists of two parts:
- A shared library containing steps and utilities that are required by Jenkins pipelines.
- A set of Jenkins pipelines using the piper library to implement best practice processes.
Please follow this link to our extended library documentation.
What you get
The shared library contains all the necessary steps to run our best practice Jenkins pipelines.
The best practice pipelines are based on the general concepts of Jenkins 2.0 Pipelines as Code. With that you have the power of the Jenkins community at hand to optimize your pipelines.
You can run the best practice Jenkins pipelines out of the box, take them as a starting point for project-specific adaptations or implement your own pipelines from scratch using the shared library.
Extensibility
If you consider adding additional capabilities to your Jenkinsfile, consult
the Jenkins Pipeline Steps Reference. There, you get an
overview about steps that are natively supported by Jenkins.
The Jenkins shared libraries concept helps you to extract reusable parts from your pipeline and to keep your pipeline code small and easy to maintain.
Custom library steps can be added using a custom library according to the
Jenkins shared libraries concept instead of adding
groovy coding to the Jenkinsfile. Your custom library can coexist next to the
provided pipeline library.
Requirements
- Java Runtime Environment 8
- Installation of Jenkins v 2.60.3 or higher running on Linux. We tested with debian-stretch.
- Jenkins Plugins installed as described in the Required Plugin section.
- A Jenkins user with administration privileges.
- The Jenkins instance has access to github.com.
Download and Installation
To setup the shared library, you need to perform the following steps:
- Login to your Jenkins instance with administration privileges.
- Open the system configuration page (Manage Jenkins > Configure System).
- Scroll down to section Global Pipeline Libraries and add a new Library by
clicking the Add button.
- set Library Name to
piper-library-os - set Default Version to the branch or tag you want to consume (e.g.
masterorv0.1) - set Retrieval Method to
Modern SCM - set Source Code Management to
Git - set Project Repository to
https://github.com/SAP/jenkins-library
- set Library Name to
- Save changes
Now the library is available as piper-library-os and can be used in any
Jenkinsfile by adding this line:
@Library('piper-library-os') _
Jenkins will download the library during execution of the Jenkinsfile.
