##Command line app to upload a OpenUI5/SAPUI5 project to a ABAP Repository

• Are you developing a OpenUI5/SAPUI5 application that will be hosted on your SAP Server?
• You want to use a VCS like git or Subversion to collaborate?
• You don't want to use Eclipse but Webstorm or Visual Studio?
• You want to automate the deployment within you continuous integration System?

So you cannot use the Eclipse "SAPUI5 ABAP Repository Team Provider".

The UI5 Uploader is a command line tool that will upload your UI5 application to the ABAP Repository of your SAP System. It will do mostly the same job as the /UI5/UI5_REPOSITORY_LOAD-Report but you don't need a SAP GUI and you can easily integrate it into your build process or add a button to your favorite IDE.

• Creates the UI5 App in the SAP repository if its not existing.
• Delta-Upload. Only changed files are added to the transport request.
• Parameters can be configured via config file and command line (command line trumps).
• Single Sign On (if your SAP System supports it).
• Test mode. See what would happen, which filed would be uploaded or deleted.

The tool is a .NET Application written in C#. It is accessing the SAP system via a webservice.

• .NET Framework 4 (should also work with Mono)
• A simple one-class-webservice on your SAP Development system. See Installation for details.

There tool accepts three commands which can be displayed by runing it without parameters:

The webservice consists of a single ABAP class implementing the interface if_http_extension and a SICF node for which the class is registered as handler.

a) Import the class and the SICF-Node via SAPlink from the nugget NUGG_Z_BTC_UI5_UPLOAD.nugg

or

b) You can just copy/paste the code of the class z_btc_ui5_upload_webservice.abap to your SAP system and create the SICF-Node manually:

1. Start transaction SICF.
2. Go to node default_host/sap/bc and choose "New Sub-Element" in its context menu and confirm the next message.
3. Enter ui5upload for the "Name of Service Element to Be Created".
4. In the service properties enter at least one Description.
5. Go to tab "Handler List" and add Z_BTC_UI5_UPLOAD_WEBSERVICE to the list.

⚠️ If you create the SICF node with a path differing from /sap/bc/ui5upload, you have to specify the whole path for the -s parameter. For example -s http://dev:8001/my/custom/service
