SAP Commerce Cloud on Public Cloud - Git Reposytory & Manifest

[carlosfernando_rivasguerr]

Hi,

I'm start studying SAP Commerce Cloud on Public Cloud. I understand that it is necesary to create a Git repository for configuration files. I have the following questions about that:

1. What is the best practice to create the Git Repository? It must be create on Github? or can i create it on SAP Cloud Platform?

2. If i build a test system, it could be possible to change the manifest.json in order to do some configuration changes after the enviroment build? It is possible to use various manifest.json? or delete an environment and recreate it with a new manifest.Json? What is the best practice?

Regards.

Hi ,

1) Best practice is to create your repository over any of these Bit Bucket | Git Hub | Git Lab. Once you have your repository ready, need to configure in SAP commerce cloud environment.

To configure it choose Repository option in commerce cloud and provide your repository URL (lets say bitbucket one) and ensure its SSH one.

Also make sure your repository is accessible over public network. It requires authorization to be accessed by SAP commerce cloud.

For this , You need to generate the SSH key pairs from commerce cloud and you add it in your repository settings under Access Keys.

Now you have configured your repository with commerce cloud.

2) You can have only one manifest.json file per environment that you create on commerce cloud. If you are setting up multiple environment then you can have multiple manifest.json files. Whenever you change this file , you should have initiate the build.

Best practice is you should create different environments as per your requirement like you can have DEV , QA and Prod environments that you can set up in commerce cloud.

1) You can create any github account and replicate in commerce cloud. We are using bitbucket as git repo and cloning in commerce cloud.

2) As per my knowledge, whenever you change anything on manifest.json, you must rebuild to take the changes take effect. we can create multiple manifest.json files per each every environment (dev,QA, PROD), but only manifest,JSON will be used for the build& deploy process.
