September 18, 2023

What’s New

  • The connector now supports custom namespaces. To support custom namespaces, the connector now includes the new Scoped service discovery relative path and Services attributes fields in the connection types and the new Service Attribute type.

    Use custom namespaces to define and organize custom objects and developments, such as programs, function modules, or tables. The naming convention for a custom namespace is Z or Y followed by an identifier. For example, if there are custom programs that manage customer data, you can create a custom namespace called ZCUST to organize all custom programs related to customer data.

    Custom namespaces enable you to maintain better control over your custom objects and developments and avoid naming conflicts with SAP standard objects or custom objects by other organizations, as well as improve the maintainability and upgradability of the system.

Each navigation property can be followed by a forward slash and another navigation property to identify a multi-level relationship. Properties of an expanded navigation property are not a part of the payload unless selected.

  • New S4HANA:SERVER_ERROR and S4HANA:NO_SUCH_NAVIGATION_PROPERTY errors are provided.

Fixed Issues

  • Fixed bugs related to creating and updating sales orders and purchase orders when line items were specified. (CONN-2530)

  • Date and time formats were not formatted correctly. (CONN-3075)

  • Connector did not stop the HTTP client when resolving metadata. (CONN-3498)

  • There was no way to specify an entity key when performing an update operation. (SE-13101)

  • The Returned Fields parameter description is revised to be: a comma-separated list of selection clauses. Each selection clause may be a property name, navigation property name, or the asterisk * character. The * syntax causes all properties for an entry to be included without traversing associations. Use forward slash / to select fields of expanded navigation properties. If no field is selected, then all fields are returned.
