ion-cicd

CLI toolkit for managing Infor ION components with Git-based version control and automated CI/CD pipelines.

Features

• Export - Download ION components (scripts, dataflows, mappings, etc.) to local files or GitHub
• Deploy - Push local components to ION with validation and dependency resolution
• Backup - Automated daily backups with Git history tracking
• Multi-environment - Support for TEST, TRAINING, and PRODUCTION environments
• Reusable Workflows - GitHub Actions workflows for automated CI/CD
• Validation - Pre-deployment checks for dependencies and conflicts

Supported Component Types

Installation

# Install from npm
npm install ion-cicd

# Or install globally
npm install -g ion-cicd

From Source

git clone https://github.com/MikahDev/ion-cicd.git
cd ion-cicd
npm install
npm run build
npm link

Quick Start

1. Initialize a Project

Create a new directory for your ION components:

mkdir my-ion-project && cd my-ion-project
npm init -y
npm install ion-cicd

2. Configure Environments

Create ion-cicd.config.json:

{
  "version": "1.0",
  "defaultEnvironment": "tst",
  "environments": {
    "tst": {
      "ionapi": "./credentials/TST.ionapi",
      "protected": false
    },
    "prd": {
      "ionapi": "./credentials/PRD.ionapi",
      "protected": true
    }
  },
  "settings": {
    "componentsPath": "./ion-components"
  }
}

3. Add Credentials

Place your .ionapi files in the credentials/ directory (git-ignored).

4. Export Components

# Export all components from TEST
npx ion-cicd --env tst export --all --local

# Export specific type
npx ion-cicd --env tst export --type Script --local

5. Deploy Components

# Validate before deploying
npx ion-cicd --env tst validate

# Deploy to TEST
npx ion-cicd --env tst deploy

# Deploy specific component type
npx ion-cicd --env tst deploy --type Script

CLI Commands

Common Options

--env <environment>    # Target environment (tst, trn, prd)
--type <type>          # Component type filter
--dry-run              # Preview without making changes
--ci                   # CI mode (non-interactive)
--auto-approve         # Auto-approve scripts (TEST only)

GitHub Actions Integration

Workflow Templates

Copy the workflow templates from templates/workflows/ to your project's .github/workflows/ directory:

• backup.yml - Daily automated backup from Production
• deploy-test.yml - Deploy to TEST on pull request
• deploy-production.yml - Deploy to PRODUCTION on release

Setting Up Secrets

Encode your .ionapi files and add as GitHub secrets:

base64 -i credentials/TST.ionapi | pbcopy  # Copy to clipboard (macOS)

Add these secrets to your repository:

• IONAPI_CONFIG_TST
• IONAPI_CONFIG_TRN
• IONAPI_CONFIG_PRD

Project Templates

Starter templates are included in the templates/ directory:

templates/
├── package.json           # Minimal project dependencies
├── ion-cicd.config.json   # Environment configuration
├── env-mappings.json      # Environment transformation rules
├── .gitignore             # Git ignore patterns
└── workflows/             # GitHub Actions workflow templates
    ├── backup.yml
    ├── deploy-test.yml
    └── deploy-production.yml

Security

• Protected Environments - Production deployments require CI/CD pipeline with approval gates
• Credential Safety - .ionapi files are never committed to Git
• Pre-deployment Backup - Automatic snapshots before production changes
• Script Approval - Scripts deploy in DRAFT state by default (manual ION approval required)

Requirements

• Node.js >= 18.0.0
• Infor ION API credentials (.ionapi file)
• GitHub account (for CI/CD features)
