trm-client is the CLI implementation of the core functionalities of TRM.

🚚 TRM (Transport Request Manager) is a package manager inspired solution built leveraging CTS that simplifies SAP ABAP transports.

TRM introduces package-based software delivery to the SAP ecosystem, bringing with it semantic versioning, dependency management, and automated deployment activities.

What is TRM?

TRM is a software that transforms how custom ABAP developments are published, installed, and maintained across SAP landscapes. Inspired by modern package managers, TRM introduces a declarative, version-controlled, and automated way to manage your SAP transports.

With TRM, you can:

• Define a manifest for each ABAP package (similar to package.json with Node.js or pom.xml with Maven)
• Version your products (SemVer compliance)
• Declare dependencies (to other TRM packages, SAP standard objects, or customizing data)
• Automate post-install activities, such as client dependant customizing, cache invalidation etc.
• Validate system requirements prior to installation
• Compare versions of the same product across multiple SAP systems (in or outside the same landscape)
• Distribute your product release to the public or to a restricted number of users:
  • Registry (e.g., trmregistry.com or private registry)
  • Local .trm files for offline installations

Modern approach for ABAP

• Publish ABAP packages from a central development system
• Deliver packages to target systems (outside of the original landscape e.g. customers development system) using a single CLI command (or in a pipeline)
• Full support for workbench objects, customizing, and translations

Structured Manifest

Each package includes a manifest.json that declares:

• Version and metadata
• System requirements
• Dependencies
• Post-install scripts

Documentation

Full documentation can be seen at https://docs.trmregistry.com/.

Install via Npm

With Node.js and npm installed, you can install trm-client via npm, as it is distributed as a Node.js package.

npm install -g trm-client

Connect to SAP via RFC

If you wish to connect to an SAP system via RFC, install the requirements for node-rfc and execute

npm install -g node-rfc

RFC should now be available as an option when trying to connect to a system.

Connect to SAP via BTP

If you wish to connect to an SAP system via BTP exposed destination, install the requirements for trm-plugin-btp-dest and execute

npm install -g trm-plugin-btp-dest

BTP should now be available as an option when trying to connect to a system.
