Requested Feature

While considering the usage of the btp setup automator in a project the following situation showed up. There is maybe a way to achieve this I'm missing but take this as a possible suggestion.

On the scenario I'm building I will instantiate a SAP launchapd service to host some site. I would want to also use the Cloud Transport Management service. I have created instances for both the Launchpad and the Cloud Transport Management in my use case. When creating the Cloud Transport Management service I generate a service key that will be required in a ctms_destination destination that needs to be setup.

I also create the destination in the use case but I would need to reference the service key credentials from the service key that gets generated when instantiating the Cloud Transport Management service. Is there a way to reference artifacts generated on another service on the description of another service in the use case? What I'd be thinking of would be that the use case references the service key parameters from an object that is generated in a previous step., in this case referencing the service key that gets generated in the Cloud Transport Management service in a destination that gets generated at a later stage in the same use case.

Would you like to support us?

Anything else?

Take this as a suggestion of a nice to have. Not saying it should be implemented right away or as proposed. Also, maybe it's already possible and I missed the point.

Hi @raiatdeloitte , have you considered using the executeAfterAccountSetup attribute in the usecase.json file and combining it with the collected data in the log file metadata_log.json? That should bring you already a few steps further. But as long as you won't be able to contribute it will be difficult to address your feature request in a timely manner. For now, I'll keep this request open. Thanks for your request!
