Description

Multi-Target Application

Before using this package, make sure that you are familiar with the multi-target application concept and terminology. For background and detailed information, see the Multi-Target Application Model guide.

The Cloud MTA Build Tool Overview

The Cloud MTA Build Tool is a standalone command-line tool that builds a deployment-ready multitarget application (MTA) archive .mtar file from the artifacts of an MTA project according to the project’s MTA development descriptor (mta.yaml file) or from module build artifacts according to the MTA deployment descriptor (mtad.yaml file). Also, it provides commands for running intermediate build process steps; for example, the mta.yaml file validations, building a single module according to the configurations in the development descriptor, generating the deployment descriptor, and so on.

For more information, see the Cloud MTA Build Tool user guide

Demo

This demo shows the basic usage of the tool. For more advanced scenarios, follow the documentation.

The Cloud MTA Build Tool Images

The images can be used to build SAP Multitarget Applications (MTA) containing Java, Node.js, and Golang modules and provided for CI env. The images are hosted at Github container registry and Docker Hub registry.

Note:

• For most cases, it's highly recommended to use the alpine version, e.g. docker pull devxci/mbtci-alpine , this version is more light-weight and should be used in production env. Using the alpine version gives the flexibility to add "per-scenario" the required set of tools.
• The mbtci-alpine image is also hosted at GitHub container.

How to pull the image

From the command line:

$ docker pull devxci/mbtci-alpine:latest

or

$ docker pull ghcr.io/sap/mbtci-alpine:latest

From Dockerfile as a base image:

FROM devxci/mbtci-alpine:latest

or

FROM ghcr.io/sap/mbtci-alpine:latest

How to use the image

On a Linux/Darwin machine you can run:

docker run -it --rm -v "$(pwd)/[proj-releative-path]:/project" devxci/mbtci-alpine:latest mbt build -p=cf -t [target-folder-name]

This will build an mtar file for SAP Cloud Platform (Cloud Foundry). The folder containing the project needs to be mounted into the image at /project.

Note: The parameter -p=cf can be omitted as the build for cloud foundry is the default build, this is an example of the MBT build parameters, for further commands see MBT docs.

How to build the image

First you need to copy the relevant Dockerfile according desired base image (alpine, sapjvm or sapmachine):

cp Dockerfile_<base image> Dockerfile

In case of base image sapjvm or sapmachine you need to replace NODE_VERSION_TEMPLATE with node version 12.18.3 or 14.17.0 in following line in the Dockerfile:

ARG NODE_VERSION=NODE_VERSION_TEMPLATE

Then you can build the image:

docker build -t devxci/mbtci .

The images provide:

• Cloud MTA Build Tool - 1.2.3
• Nodejs - 12.18.3 or 14.17.0
• Maven - 3.6.3
• Golang - 1.14.7
• Java - 8 or 11

The MTA Archive Builder delegates module builds to other native build tools. This image provides Node.js, Maven, Java, and Golang so the archive builder can delegate to these build technologies. In case other build tools are needed, inherit from this image and add more build tools.
