  • [Feature]: Return Messages now expose ExtendedText1, ExtendedText2, ExtendedText3, and ExtendedText4

πŸ“£ Connect 1.3.10 is here! Below are some important changes made to this release that focuses on customer requests and improvements to the user experience. πŸ“£

1️⃣ Refresh All APIs

RefreshAllAPIs

When an update to multiple RIOs are made in SAP, clicking this 1 button will refresh the metadata for all the currently selected APIs in the project. This will allow pulling all of the latest changes into a project with a couple clicks instead of the need for manually re-adding all RIOs that have been updated.

2️⃣ Enhanced Error Reporting

DestinationServiceError

When errors occur while deploying or running the application, more meaningful messages are presented to enable a user to take action. The screenshot above shows an example when the destination service in SAP BTP becomes unbound from the deployed application.

3️⃣ User Experience Improvements

Multiple enhancements have been made to improve the user experience, such as:

PackageListShowsMostRecent

When publishing an existing package, the most recent packages are listed first.

RemovedBundles

The Bundles feature has been removed to make it quicker to access your custom RIOs. The RIO selection screen now supports adding all available RIOs, as well as removing all selected RIOs.

When selecting APIs, the name of the RIO will match what it is named in SAP.

4️⃣ Support for Customizing ID

AddSupportForCID

Adding APIs now supports searching for a RIO with a Customizing ID(CID), and still filtering down based on the name. When multiple APIs are added for the same RIO, each with a different CID, they will be accessible on different routes in the deployed application.

CID_Routes

  • [Feature]: Add support for adding RIOs with a customizing ID
  • [Feature]: Added a Refresh All APIs button
  • [Update]: UX updates to the Publish Package modal
  • [Update]: Improved error reporting and provided clearer error messaging to user
  • [Update]: Remove the Bundles API
  • [Update]: RIO names will match SAP when selecting APIs
  • [Bugfix]: Resolved a Max Depth Exceeded exception in a deployed application

Before: A user could click the Search button on the Advanced Order Search and not wait for the Sold To value to be populated, which caused the component to search other accounts.

Now: ✨ The Search button is disabled until the Sold To value is populated. ✨

  • [Bugfix]: The search button on the Advanced Order Search will remain disabled until all default values are populated

πŸ“£ We have added new low-code features for administering your Link instances in 3.1. πŸ“£

1️⃣ When a cookie with a static value is desired on all requests to SAP, this can now be injected in Link through configuration. Cookies and their values can be configured per route so the client does not need to attach the cookie manually. For more details, see the documentation.

CookieFeature

2️⃣ A new start-time metric will be visible from the /health endpoint the Link instance. This information can be used to manually derive other metrics for your Link instances' health.
