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.
In version 3.0.21 of SAP:
The default login behavior of the JCo library changed.
The default value of property
jco.client.snc_ssowas 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.
The following workarounds can help mitigate the issues:
Add the
jco.client.snc_ssoJCo property with a value of0(disabled). If the account still fails with a "Name or password is incorrect (repeat logon)" error, even after adding this property, then reach out to the SAP team to enable the option "Permit Password Logon SAP GUI" for that specific user.Select the Permit Password Logon for SAP GUI (User-Specific) checkbox.

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.
