SAP commissions Touchless Deployment Automation

[kalyansap]

Hello Experts,

Has anyone automated the SAP commissions Touchless Deployment migration automation : eg using workflow.

We are using the Touchless Deployment for migrations and creating/modifying the Sql and master.xml files manually for every migration which is a tedious process. Looking for some inputs to automate the Touchless deployment migration

Thanks,

Kalyan.

For our deployments, we created a Windows GUI client application using Python Tkinter. The application does the following:
1. Stores the user ID, password and host URL in a database
2. allow users to specify location and files to be deployed and in what specific order
3. Generate the XML file using the order specified above
4. Package the files and deploy.xml into a zip file
5. Submit the zip package to the host URL

If you are looking for a non GUI automation, you can easily write scripts to do the steps above. You will probably have to prefix your .SQL file with 1, 2, 3 etc.... so the generate XML script knows what order they need to be placed in the deploy.XML file.

Hi - sorry for the late reply. We use touchless deployment in our CI/CD process. One thing to look into is the runOnChange header. https://docs.liquibase.com/concepts/changelogs/attributes/runonchange.html
