Between adapter releases 4.2.0 and 4.3.0, the following CRs, based on customer-reported cases, were fixed.
CR number | Description |
18122 | Update of the event status was failing and has been fixed. |
18136 | The child verb operation was returning an AttributeNotFoundException for DeltaUpdate and has been fixed. |
18195 | Updating of a child that is a picklist was not working properly. The existing picklist child is unpicked and is updated with a new child. This has been fixed. |
22292 | The adapter shuts itself down if the databean session times out. This has been fixed. If the databean session times out, the adapter tries to log in if the number of beans that are in use is less than the maximum number of beans that were configured. If the login is successful, the request is processed. If the login is unsuccessful, the adapter shuts down. |
22548 | The child association update was not working properly and has been fixed. If the child is an association to the parent and has a multi-value link, the ASI of the child attribute is LFN=linkFieldName;Assoc=True;. A new ASI has been added for the case where the child is an association to the parent and does not have a multi-value link, in which case the ASI is LFN=linkFieldName;AssocNoMVF=True;. |
22600 | Duplicate attribute names in business object definitions were causing business object generation failure. The ODA has been changed to fix this.. |
22663 | Associating a child that exists in the database did not retrieve the child based on content. This has been fixed. Now the adapter retrieves the child based on content if an association exists. |
22664 | A search failed if there was a space in the search string. This has been fixed. |
22686 | Simple link child objects are not updating. This has been fixed. |
