New Features

ODP Fetcher

Using the new ODP Fetcher you can replicate data from an ODP Queue.

ODP Fetcher provides multiple Extraction (Replication) Modes that are identical to Data replication with delta and provide you the full control over replication scenarios. One additional option which is not available in standard scenarios is “Recovery of Previous Deltas” which can be used when the last delta extraction failed and should be repeated.

ABAP Fetcher

ABAP Fetcher provides a way of acquiring the data via custom ABAP code. The fetcher provides a set of methods that can be implemented to build the required logic for fetching the data that is then replicated to the specified target technology using standard SNP Glue™ workflow.

Improvements

Extractors

  • Mass execution has been reworked. More intuitive user experience has been introduced for the definition of date ranges.

SLT Integration

  • SLT Integration has been improved to enable you to replicate also SAP tables that contain RAW fields.

  • The configuration of SLT integration parameters has been adjusted. It is no longer required to create a transport request when adjusting the parameters.

CDC

  • The implementation of Glue triggers has been adjusted which resulted in significantly better performance. This is especially useful when triggers capture large volumes of entries.

Additional features

  • Using Glue Object Generator, you can now generate Glue objects in a specified Folder.

  • Glue watchdogs have been reworked to provide unified user experience.

Fixes

Data Dictionary

  • When the Glue table meaningful fields feature is used, it renames the original DDIC table names and replaced them with more meaningful texts. It could happen that a field with a translated name already existed in the table. The logic has been improved to prevent such situations.

  • When importing fields to the Glue table from InfoProvider, 0RECORDMODE was not added automatically.

  • Glue table check was returning incorrect status when file storage was used. This has been corrected and table checks work properly now.

Extractor

  • Mass execution of BEx Queries enables you to define data split conditions using custom implemented ABAP logic. If the logic returned incorrect data, the mass execution couldn’t handle it properly - show an error message and cancel the jobs, but resulted in jobs with pending status.

  • It was not possible to use BADI filtering for the BEx Query BICS fetcher.

  • When using SAP table fetcher with timestamp delta, you couldn’t use F4 help to see available fields.

  • The implementation of Glue Queues has been improved. The locking mechanism was reworked to improve the performance when a large number of tables were replicated using Glue Queues.

  • Delta Init using DSO fetcher was failing when the changelog was empty.

SLT

  • The stability and robustness of the solution have been improved to handle a large number of parallel extractions.

TMS

  • After ADSO Fetcher was imported to a system, the delta pointer was overwritten.

  • Transport of an ABAP fetcher (extractor 1.0 version) was failing.

Additional features

  • In Glue Object Navigator with Folders enabled, you could create a Glue object by selecting the folder from the context menu, not the package.

  • When stopping Delta or Queue watchdog, a misleading error message was raised. This has been corrected and watchdogs are stopped correctly.

  • Mass activation or deactivating process was showing incorrect result values.
