abapGit & containers (Part 2)

Extending CI/CD workflows in SAP landscapes: A live abapGit-based workflow demonstration

Thanks to tools like ActiveControl it's now more practical than ever to adopt a DevOps approach in SAP environments. However, the unique architecture of ABAP-based SAP systems has until recently prevented development teams from taking advantage of the parallel development approach typically used for non-SAP applications.

abapGit is an open-source code versioning tool that enables you to adopt distributed development in your SAP teams. Combined with the flexibility of containers, this approach extends SAP CI/CD workflows to provide previously unachievable flexibility.

In this, the second of two webinars on abapGit, we will show a live proof of concept demonstration of a containerized CI/CD process for ABAP-based applications, integrating the use of containers, abapGit and Jenkins with a standard SAP development and delivery process. (In part one we introduced the topics of distributed development, abapGit and containers.)

Watch the recorded webinar to:

• See a working proof of concept example of a Git-based SAP development workflow
• Learn how Git-based development could be integrated into SAP change control processes today
• Learn more about the potential benefits of distributed development in SAP
• Understand the current limitations of an abapGit workflow
