This month’s SAP BTP Innobytes edition has a clear theme: Application Development! All the innovation highlights will support you when building and managing your extensions on SAP BTP. That’s right; we understand that building your extension is just one piece of the puzzle. Managing the lifecycle of that application is just as important. Therefore, we are highlighting new features for SAP Continuous Integration and Delivery, SAP Automation Pilot and of course, our IDE of choice, SAP Business Application Studio.
Are you in a crowded place without your headset? Is your internet connection a little wonky? No worries, you can also read about the innovations below!
Using a pipeline to build, test, and deploy your application can be daunting. Writing one yourself is complex and time-consuming. SAP Continuous Integration and Delivery service available on SAP BTP has ready-to-use pipelines for SAP scenarios.
We keep things simple and easy to use, but simple shouldn’t mean inflexible. That’s why we’ve integrated additional flexibility, to make sure our pipelines are working for you. Maybe you need to access a private repository when building your application. Or maybe you want to set a DEBUG flag when running your tests. This is possible now! You can add credentials and variables as needed to the stages of your pipelines.
But don’t take my word for it! Check out the links below and try it out yourself!
