The CI/CD Companion for SAP Integration Suite

About

FlashPipe is a public Docker image that provides Continuous Integration (CI) & Continuous Delivery/Deployment (CD) capabilities for SAP Integration Suite.

FlashPipe aims to simplify the Build-To-Deploy cycle for SAP Integration Suite by providing CI/CD capabilities for automating time-consuming manual tasks.

Enhanced Capabilities

FlashPipe has been significantly enhanced with powerful new commands for streamlined CI/CD workflows:

🎯 Orchestrator Command

High-level deployment orchestration with integrated workflow management:

• Complete Lifecycle: Update and deploy packages and artifacts in a single command
• Multi-Source Configs: Load from files, folders, or remote URLs
• YAML Configuration: Define all settings in a config file for reproducibility
• Parallel Deployment: Deploy multiple artifacts simultaneously (3-5x faster)
• Environment Support: Multi-tenant/environment prefixes (DEV, QA, PROD)
• Selective Processing: Filter by specific packages or artifacts

# Simple deployment with YAML config
flashpipe orchestrator --orchestrator-config ./orchestrator.yml

# Or with individual flags
flashpipe orchestrator --update \
  --deployment-prefix DEV \
  --deploy-config ./001-deploy-config.yml \
  --packages-dir ./packages

⚙️ Config Generation

Automatically generate deployment configurations from your packages directory:

# Generate config from package structure
flashpipe config-generate --packages-dir ./packages --output ./deploy-config.yml

📁 Partner Directory Management

Snapshot and deploy Partner Directory parameters:

# Download parameters from SAP CPI
flashpipe pd-snapshot --output ./partner-directory

# Upload parameters to SAP CPI
flashpipe pd-deploy --source ./partner-directory

See documentation below for complete details on each command.
