sap_hana_install: No longer create an input file for SAP application deployment #845

Open berndfinger opened 2 months ago

berndfinger commented 2 months ago

Currently, we are creating an input file for SAP application deployment, named {{ sap_hana_install_sid }}.info.nw.install, in this task.

It seems we can safely remove this task because there is no reference to a file which contains the string .info.nw.install neither in the role sap_swpm nor in ap4s, nor anywhere else in the GitHub organization sap-linuxlab.

We also should remove this task because it is storing password in plain text in the output file.

All passwords which are required for an SAP application deployment have to be provided in playbooks or inventories when using sap_swpm anyway, so there is no need to store them in any other location.

@sean-freeman @rhmk - Are you aware of any other aspects of this issue which we would have to consider before removing the task for creating an input file for SAP application deployment?
