Known Issue

In version 4.28 (main14627), the SAP Snap Pack's bundled JCo library was upgraded to 3.1.4. Prior to that, version 3.0.6 was used.

...

  • The default login behavior of the JCo library changed. 

  • The default value of property jco.client.snc_sso was changed from 0 to 1 (enabled).

The above changes will impact your pipelines if you use a username/password for RFC login. Login would work with the SAP Snap Pack versions before 4.28 but will fail with versions 4.28 or later.

    429patches16637

    07 Jul 2022 

    Latest

    • Fixed an issue with the SAP IDoc Write Snap where the Snap wrote the same TID, Document_number, and so on for the different output documents though the I_DOCNUM array contained all the document numbers that are returned from SAP table. Now, the Snap writes different TID, Document_number for different output documents along with the I_DOCNUM array that contains all the document numbers.

    • Fixed an issue with SAP Execute and SAP IDoc Write Snaps where the output preview did not include the original document.

    07 Jun 2022 

    Latest

    Fixed an issue with SAP Execute Snap where the Snap incorrectly handled connection exceptions for 104-JCO_ERROR_SYSTEM_FAILURE. Previously, the Snap captured only the output document without the error. Now, the Snap correctly captures both the output and error.

    Introduced the SAP RFC Listener Snap that facilitates Remote Function Calls (RFCs) between two SAP systems. The Snap simulates an RFC server and listens to the incoming RFC calls infinitely. Subsequently, the Snap generates output documents either from the import parameters or triggers a child Pipeline. Business applications can use the RFC mechanism to communicate and exchange information (in predefined formats) with other systems.
