- The modules configuration property has been simplified. The new
configuration values are shorter and more intuitive. However, for
backward compatibility, the previous values are still
accepted.
- The new Hierarchical Dynamic Retrieve module processes
hierarchical or flat business objects in response to requests from
collaborations configured to work with the connector. For
information on this module, see Configuring the Hierarchical Dynamic
Retrieve module.
- The ALE module provides non-invasive event processing. For more
information, see Configuring the
ALE module.
- The ALE module uses Transaction IDs (TIDs) to guarantee that
each piece of data is delivered or processed once and only once.
For more information, see Configuring the ALE module.
- The connector supports multi-threading. For more information,
see NumberOfListeners.
- Important:
- BAPI business object handlers generated before the IBM
WebSphere InterChange Server Connector for SAP version 4.3.0 are
not thread-safe. To guarantee data consistency and integrity when
using multi-threading, you must regenerate these business object
handlers. The business objects do no require any change.
- The connector running on Solaris now uses SAP's Java API and
fully supports all connector modules. Because IBM WebSphere
InterChange Server does not ship the Java API, you must download it
from SAP's website. For more information, see Prerequisites
for installation.
- The connector no longer uses the CharacterEncoding
configuration property.
