The patch note contains the following sections:
This patch contains the following revisions since the last maintenance release:
| Available as of Version | CR Number | Feature | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4.8.1 | 15168 | ALE Module | The ALE module now uses MQSeries to persist ALE IDoc transactions. In earlier releases, the ALE module used collaborations, maps and relationships in the Interchange Server. |
**** ATTENTION ****
Current ALE Module users ONLY: This version of the adapter manages ALE transaction id's and IDocs using MQ Series. As a result, it is imperative that you allow the current IDoc processing cycle to complete before applying this patch. Temporarily halt the transmission of IDocs both to and from the adapter and verify that there are no IDocs (files) in the following directories when you upgrade:
CrossWorlds\connectors\SAP\ale\events
CrossWorlds\connectors\SAP\ale\wip
Also verify that any failed or unsubscribed IDocs (files) in the following directory have been reviewed, corrected and re-processed:
CrossWorlds\connectors\SAP\ale\archive
Once all IDocs (files) complete successfully, apply the upgrade and follow the new configuration instructions in the documentation. For further details, please refer to the adapter guide.
**** ATTENTION ****
