HTML5UserAPI for Cloud Foundry

This project provides a simple MTA application which serves links to a Node.js backend that servers some Endpoints showing user information using Express. It can be deployed as an Multi Target Application to the SAP Cloud Platform - Cloud Foundry Environment.

Deploy to SAP Cloud Platform - Cloud Foundry

Prerequisite

If you want to deploy the latest released version:

• You have a SAP Business Technology Platform Platform Trial, Free Tier or productive account
• The Cloud Foundry command line tool is installed
• The MultiApps CF CLI Plugin is installed
• You've connected using cf loginto your BTP subaccount
• You've connected a SAP Cloud Connector to your subaccount
• Principal Propagation is setup in the Cloud Connector to the ABAP Backend

If you want to build the current state of the repository:

• You have the Node.JS version defined in .nvmrc installed
• The Cloud MTA Build Tool (MBT) is installed

Preperation

Before you can deploy the application to your Cloud Foundry account the destinations to the backend system must be created. Please find here what I've used in my environment:

If you want to test the connection to a SAP ABAP Backend via HTTP(S), then you have to create the destination SAP_ABAP_BACKEND used by the approuter:

URL=http\://npl752.virtual\:44300
Name=SAP_ABAP_BACKEND
ProxyType=OnPremise
Type=HTTP
sap-client=001
Authentication=PrincipalPropagation

If you want to test the connection to the SAP ABAP via RFC, then you have to create the destination SAP_ABAP_BACKEND_RFC used by the Java application:

Type=RFC
jco.client.ashost=npl752.virtual
jco.destination.repository.user=SAPUSERNAME
Name=SAP_ABAP_BACKEND_RFC
jco.client.user=SAPUSERNAME
jco.client.sysnr=01
jco.destination.proxy_type=OnPremise
jco.client.client=001

If you want to test the connection to the SAP Business One Service Layer via HTTP(S), then the destination SAP_B1_BACKEND must be created:

URL=http\://b1server.virtual\:44300
Name=SAP_B1_BACKEND
ProxyType=OnPremise
Type=HTTP
Authentication=BasicAuthentication

As described in the answer to B1 Service Layer Login Credentials as Destination Properties the credentials can be added as shown in this example:

username: {"UserName": "manager", "CompanyDB": "SBODEMOUS"}
password: 1234

Deploy the release version
