FlashPipe CLI

FlashPipe provides a fully functional CLI with the following commands to interact with SAP Integration Suite.

update artifact
update package
deploy
sync
sync apim
snapshot

These commands perform the magic that significantly simplifies the steps required to execute the build and deploy steps in a CI/CD pipeline.

The following section describes the usage of the commands. Input values can be passed using command line flags, environment variables or a config file (flashpipe.yaml).

With the support of Viper, each CLI flag can be substituted with a corresponding environment variable with the following rule - add “FLASHPIPE_” prefix, change name to upper case, and replace dashes with underscores. For example:

–artifact-id »> FLASHPIPE_ARTIFACT_ID
