SAP Cloud Application Programming (CAP) Node.JS sample code project with multitenancy using service manager created HANA containers for tenant data isolation.
This repository contains a complete Multi-Target Application (MTA) sample project that is an example of using the SAP Cloud Application Programming (CAP) approach and it's multitenancy support library to provide true enterprise multitenant application.
There are many disparate pieces of information found throughout the SAP documentation as well as the CAP centric documentation, but it is difficult to bring them together as a cohesive whole. This sample code project provides a good starting point for those wanting to build a best-practice multitenant enterprise application on SAP Business Technology Platform.
This project is implemented completely in the Node.JS programming language. A Java programing language multitenant sample code project can be found in the repository cloud-cap-samples-java. See the Demonstrated Features section of the README.
There are several branches in this repo and a little context is warranted.
This sample utilizes the CAP multitenancy library (cds-mtx) to handle customer subscriptions which result in the ServiceManager creating run-time HANA hdi-shared containers. In the original master branch this was tested where each subscribing customer would have their own distinct container with no need of joining the customer container with any shared data. If this is your use case, then you'll find this version was saved in the single-container branch which will work with versions of the cds-mtx library < 1.0.27. For use cases where joining per subscriber containers with a singluar common container, a bug was discovered in the library that prevented run-time container deployments upon subscriptions. A work-around is provided in the xcontainer branch that will work with cds-mtx library < 1.0.27. This work-around effectively performs a secondary deploy with the proper environment that accomplishes the desired result. Once a fix was provided in cds-mtx >= 1.0.27, the work-around was no longer needed and the code removed and the fix-things branch was created in order to facilitate testing of the fix. Once the fix was confirmed effective the code was merged back into the master branch.
The master branch going forward implements the use-case where each run-time container will be joined with a "common container"(as defined in the db_comm folder). The cds-mtx >= 1.0.27 will accomodate this use-case.

An SAP Code Sample such as this is open software but is not quite a typical full-blown open source project. If you come across a problem, we’d encourage you to check the project’s issue tracker and to file a new issue if needed. If you are especially passionate about something you’d like to improve, you are welcome to fork the repository and submit improvements or changes as a pull request.
Tools used throughout the development of this project are evolving and my change over time. This may result in discrepancies in the exact procedures or screen-clips in the accompanying blog posts. All efforts will be made to update the content in order to keep pace with the tooling, but cannot be guaranteed.
