SAP continuous integration, with Assembla Webhooks
Posted by Andy Singleton on Mon, Dec 20, 2010 @ 09:29 AM
Gregor Wolf, a hyper-active SAP developer and community member, reports that "The concept of a ABAP Continuous Inegration Server powered by ZAKE from SAP Innovation Weekend Berlin 2010 is now reality. I've extended ZAKE's functionality to be triggered from the Assembla Webhooks. The whole process is shown in a Screencast: http://screencast.com/t/QAGJncHLFeI."
Systems that are built with SAP's ABAP programming language usually do code management and builds inside the SAP application. They store code in the database, and they have rules and "transports" for moving code changes into deployed versions of the software. This usually works inside one enterprise SAP system. Gregor has started several projects to open up ABAP code sharing between enterprises, using XML export/import (SAPlink) and subversion (ZAKE - "the ABAP make").
