To enable secure integration between ReleaseOwl and SAP API Management, credentials must be registered within ReleaseOwl’s Credential Manager. This process ensures authenticated access to the SAP API Portal for deploying and promoting API artifacts as part of DevOps pipelines.

Step-by-Step Guide: Registering Credentials in ReleaseOwl

1. Navigate to Credential Manager

  • From the Administration menu, go to Credential Manager.

  • Click Register Credential.

2. Provide Credential Details

  • a. Credential Name: Enter any identifiable name for the credential.

  • b. Credential Type: Select API Management.

  • c. Authentication Type: You have two options to register your credentials:

    Option A: Upload Credentials File

    • Click the Browse button.

    • Upload the credentials file downloaded from SAP BTP Cockpit (API Management Service).

    Option B: Manual Entry

    • If choosing Manual Entry, provide the required details from the API service key created in SAP BTP Cockpit. (The steps to create and extract the API service key are explained below.)

Steps to Retrieve API Management Details from SAP BTP Cockpit

3. Access the SAP BTP Cockpit

  2. Select "Create Service Key".
