Updated and certified against the current SnapLogic Platform release.

• Enhanced the SAP IDoc Listener and SAP IDoc Document Listener Snaps with a new Halt on SAP error checkbox for better error-handling capability. Select this checkbox to enable the listener to interrupt and halt processing in case of an error from SAP.

• Removed the unnecessary spring-core dependency from the SAP Snap Pack.

Fixed an issue with the SnapLogic SAP Accounts that caused issues when connection pools were exhausted. The minimum value allowed for the Connection pool capacity is now 0 so you can disable the connection pooling.

Upgraded with the latest SnapLogic Platform release.

The SAP IDoc Listener Snap now handles the data event from the SAP instance as expected.

The SAP IDoc Read and SAP IDoc Write Snaps do not display the error messages when the IDoc Read BAPI Name field is empty or wrong as a default value IDOC_READ_COMPLETELY is now assigned to the empty field, otherwise, the Snap considers the specified name.

The SAP Execute Snap is now equipped to send the actual content of the incoming byte arrays (in binary types like XString) instead of their transformed String values.

• 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.

429patches16113

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.

• Upgraded the Java Native Library used by the SAP Java Connector (JCo) to version 3.1.

  Breaking change for Pipelines containing Snaps from the SAP Snap Pack with Java Native Library

  This upgrade may cause your existing Pipelines to break if they contain Snaps from the SAP Snap Pack. You must manually upgrade your SAP Java Connector (JCo) Native Library to version 3.1.4 for these Pipelines to run successfully. See SAP Configurations for more information.

• Enhanced the SAP Execute Snap to support nested tables or structure data in the import parameters.

• Upgraded the Java Native Library used by the SAP Java Connector (JCo) to 3.1.4 version.

Enhanced SAP RFC Listener, SAP IDoc Listener and SAP IDoc Document Listener Snaps with a new field set Advanced JCo Server Properties that allows you to configure Java Connector (JCo) server-related attributes.

Renamed the RFC Listener Snap as SAP RFC Listener Snap. 

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.

Enhances the SAP Execute Snap to process the structure that contains nested Table Type fields in the output document by recursively parsing them into a Map or a List set.

Fixes the JCO_ERROR_REQUEST_CANCELLED (connection is closed) error in SAP Execute Snap that occurs even when the session is active after 10 minutes.

Enhances SAP Execute and SAP IDoc Write Snaps by introducing the following fields:

• Reload Function Metadata: To get latest schema.
• Reload Metadata and Validate: Allows clearing the JCo Metadata cache on the plex node before each validation.

Enhances the SAP Execute Snap by introducing the following two fields:

• Commit Timeout (sec): Creates a session to call BAPI and commit.
• Session ID: Identifies specific sessions for all the Snaps that are in a stateful call sequence.

• Enhances the Snap Pack to support SNC-based authentication in SAP Accounts and the execution of BAPI call sequences in a Pipeline.
  • The SAP Accounts, SAP JCo Account and SAP Load Balanced JCo Account, can be used to extend connection security with an additional layer of Secure Network Communications (SNC) configuration by passing advanced JCo parameters.
  • Updates the SAP Execute Snap with the ability to execute a sequence of BAPI calls within the same Pipeline and session. Sequence implies that the output from a BAPI call is needed for the next BAPI call to run.

Enhances the SAP Execute Snap to add a new field, Output date time as Text, which enables you to output date and time as a String data type instead of a DateTime object.

Updates the SAP IDoc Write Snap with the following:

• Fixes the stack overflow error that occurs while retrying to write the IDoc to the SAP server. 
• Adds inbound success codes to the default value which otherwise only indicates the IDoc being created.
• Enhances the error messages for a better user experience.

Pushed automatic rebuild of the latest version of each Snap Pack to SnapLogic UAT and Elastic servers.

Added the Snap Execution field to all Standard-mode Snaps. In some Snaps, this field replaces the existing Execute during preview check box.

• Added the retry connection and error routing mechanism to the SAP Execute, SAP iDOC Read, SAP iDOC Write, SAP iDOC Document Listener and SAP iDOC Listener Snaps.
• Updated the SAP Account with Enable trace property to analyse the connection related errors.

Addressed an issue with the SAP iDoc Listener and iDoc Document Listener Snaps where the pipeline takes a longer time to stop while performing a manual trigger. 

• SAP IDoc Write Snap now supports IDoc Extension type.
• SAP Self-service/on-demand ability to clear IDoc metadata cache.

Added SAP account to connect to a message server, SAP Load Balanced JCo Account.

• Added SAP account to connect to MSHOST (JCo Load Balanced account).
• Addressed an issue with SAP BAPI call appending duplicate fields to object
• SAP Execute: Support for "table-type" fields added
• Addressed an issue in SAP Execute: Changing parameter metadata not imported

Addressed an issue with SAP Execute failing to call BAPI with integer request parameter

Introduced the SAP IDoc Document Listener Snap in this release.
