- 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. For the
list of module names, see Table 4.
- 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.
