You are logged into your SAP BTP Cloud Foundry subaccount via the cf CLI and you have the Multitarget Build Tool installed (mbt). Until sap-cf-localenv is setup for the project also jq needs to be installed.
Run the following commands in a terminal window:
npm i
npm run build:mta
npm run deploy:cf
npm run enable-ssh
npm run start:sshtunnel
Remark: The start ssh tunnel is currently forwarding the requests to 'connectivityproxy.internal.cf.eu10.hana.ondemand.com:20003' if you are not in the cf-eu10 region, you have to change this configuration in the package.json file.
Go to the SAP BTP Cockpit and open the details of the deployed app sshenabler. Navigate there to the Environment Variables. Copy the content of the textbox System Provided to a local file called default-env.json. Then run the following commands in another terminal window:
npm start
Following properties can be configured in a .env file in the root folder of the project.
| Property | Description | Defaul value |
|---|---|---|
| PORT | Proxy port | 5050 |
| DESTINATION_PROPERTY_NAME | Header property to define the target destination | X-SAP-BTP-destination |
| DEFAULT_DESTINATION | If no target destination is set in the request to the proxy we use this destination nama. | SAP_ABAP_BACKEND |
| CFPROXY_HOST | Host where the port-forwarding is running to the CF proxy | 127.0.0.1 |
| CFPROXY_POST | Port that is forwarded to the CF proxy | 20003 |
| USERNAME | Username in cloud foundry, if no user is set you have to send an authorization header. | |
| PASSWORD | Password in cloud foundry, if no password is set you have to send an authorization header. |
Using the VS Code Extension REST Client you can execute the test in test/ping.http. Before you can run the test you have to create a .env file in the test folder with the following (of course adjusted) content:
sapcpproxy=http://localhost:5050
sapid_username="<user-email>"
sapid_password="<password>"
Connect a Cloud Connector to your Subaccount and create the following destinations:
- SAP_ABAP_BACKEND_NO_AUTH
- SAP_ABAP_BACKEND_BASIC_AUTH
Then run the test. The result should be:
<html><body>Server reached.</body></html>
in both cases.
